meters (130 ft.) and in wet or dusty
environments.

• Before you use the Waterproof Case,
please make sure the case is functioning
correctly and does not leak. Close the
Waterproof Case before installing the
camera and hold it underwater at an
approximate depth of 15 cm (5.9 in.) for
around three minutes to check for leaks.
Perform a similar check after you install the
camera. If it leaks, contact your Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.

Safety Precautions
COPY
Before you use the Waterproof Case, thoroughly
read these precautions to ensure correct use.
The precautions described below are for
ensuring safe use of the Waterproof Case and
for preventing danger and damage to yourself
and others. Thoroughly understand the details of
these precautions before reading the rest of this
manual.
• After you use the Waterproof Case, be sure to
remove the camera from it. If you leave the
Waterproof Case containing the camera in
direct sunlight or in a high-temperature place,
this may cause a fire or the case to burst.
• Do not use the Waterproof Case in place of a
personal flotation device (life jacket).
• Do not use the neck strap underwater. Remove
the neck strap and attach the wrist strap before
use underwater. There is danger that the neck
strap will become entangled and cause
strangulation or another mishap.
• Do not use the Waterproof Case at water
depths exceeding 40 meters (130 ft.). The case
may malfunction, suffer damage or leak.
4
• Do not press the buttons or the lever of the
Waterproof Case with unnecessary force when
in the water. This may warp the casing and
cause leaks.
• When cleaning the case, do not spray water at
the waterproof seal under pressure. This may
cause leaks.
• Do not disassemble or modify the Waterproof
Case. This may cause leaks.
• Do not damage the waterproof seal, scratch its
contact surfaces, or allow dirt, sand, hair or
other debris to accumulate between the
waterproof seal and the case. This may cause
leaks.
• Do not use the Waterproof Case in water at
temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F). Heat may
warp the casing and cause leaks.
• Do not leave the Waterproof Case in direct
sunlight, inside a car in hot weather, or near a
heater. Heat may warp the casing and cause
leaks. Cover it with a towel, for example, if you
have to leave it in the sun.
Handling Precautions
COPY
• Do not drop or throw the Waterproof Case.
• Use only the supplied silicone grease. Use of
other waterproofing products may impair the
strength of the Waterproof Case. If any other
waterproofing product is mistakenly applied,
wipe it off immediately.
• Avoid opening or closing the Waterproof Case
near water. When you are installing the camera
or changing the memory card or the battery,
choose a place with low humidity well away
from salty sea air.
• Avoid using the Waterproof Case for long
periods of time in hot temperatures.
• Battery life is reduced in cold temperatures.
When you use the Waterproof Case in very
cold places, keep it warm by putting it in a bag
whenever you are not shooting. It is not
advisable to use the Waterproof Case in
temperatures below the freezing point.
• Moving the Waterproof Case rapidly between
hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form on its
internal surfaces. If this occurs, stop using the
camera immediately as the condensation may
cause a malfunction. Remove the camera from
the Waterproof Case and wipe off the
condensation from the Waterproof Case and
the camera with a soft and dry cloth, and wait
until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.

About Water Leakage
COPY
Stop shooting immediately if the Waterproof
Case leaks. If you use the camera in this state,
this may cause a fire or electric shocks. Never
use it in this state. Thoroughly wipe the
Waterproof Case interior and the camera dry.
Please contact your Canon Customer Support
Help Desk.

Waterproof Seal
• Debris (e.g. sand, dirt or hair) stuck to the
waterproof seal may cause water leakage.
Catching a single strand of hair or a tiny grain
of sand in the seal can cause leaks.
• When removing the seal from your
Waterproof Case, use your fingers so you
do not damage the waterproof seal (as
shown in Fig. 1). Do not dig your fingernails
into it or use pointed or metallic objects to
remove it.
• Do not pull the waterproof seal. Pulling the
seal may overstretch it, which may cause
the case to not close properly and cause
leaks.
• While mounting the waterproof seal, do not
twist or pull the seal with force. Extreme
care should be taken to ensure the
waterproof seal is level around the mounting
groove. Please check to ensure that the
waterproof seal is working.

Waterproof Seal
• Be careful not to apply too much grease.
Applying too much grease to the seal may
cause water leakage (about a droplet is
sufficient).
• Do not use paper or cloth to apply the grease to
the seal.
• A damaged or cracked waterproof seal may
cause leaks. Please contact your Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
To ensure that the Waterproof Case remains
waterproof, it is recommended to replace the
seal once a year. Please contact your Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
Care and Maintenance
• Wash the exterior of the Waterproof Case with
enough clean fresh water (tap water under
30 °C/ 86 °F, etc.) as soon as possible after
using it. It is particularly advisable to soak it in
fresh water for several hours after use in salt
water to remove salt deposits. Please check
that you have locked the catch securely to
prevent water from entering the case. Wipe
it dry with a soft cloth after washing. To avoid
scratching the Waterproof Case, do not wipe it
while any sand or grit remains on it. The metal
parts may rust or the buttons may become hard
to press if salt deposits remain. Wipe the
interior of the case with a soft, dry cloth. Do not
wash it with water.

• When using commercially available
anticondensation products, the
anticondensation solution should only be
applied to the inside surface of the lens
window using a soft cloth. If anticondensation
solution comes in contact with any surface
other than the inside of the lens window, wipe it
off immediately with a soft, dry cloth, as it could
lead to deterioration of the Waterproof Case.
Apply a thin coat of grease to the entire seal
before using the Waterproof Case in order to
prevent abrasion and deterioration.
For waterproof seal handling precautions, see
“Waterproof Seal” on page 6.
