Precautions
General precautions
Do not store the product in dusty, dirty, or sandy areas, as its
components may be damaged.
Do not store the product in a hot environment. High
temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store the product in cold areas. When the product
warms up to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside, which may damage the electronic circuits.
Do not attempt to open the casing or attempt your own repairs.
High-voltage internal components create the risk of electric shock when exposed.
Do not drop or knock the product. Rough handling may
damage the internal components.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong
detergents to clean the product. Wipe the product with a slightly damp soft cloth.
Do not open the battery cover while an image is being
recorded. Doing so will not only make storage of the current image impossible, it can also corrupt other image data already stored on file.
If the product or any of its accessories are not working
properly, take them to your nearest qualified service center. The personnel there will assist you and if necessary, arrange for the product to be repaired.
Test for proper operation before using the camcorder.

Notes on Waterproof Case
Waterproof Case performance
The waterproof case performance is equivalent to IPX8
(60m/1hr).
Underwater time limit: Do not use the waterproof case
underwater for more than 60 minutes and 60 meters to ensure water resistance.
The waterproof case is not dust-proof. The camera and other accessories are not waterproof unless
enclosed by the waterproof case.
When using the camcorder in cold or humid environments or
when going underwater, use the anti-fog insert to prevent fogging. The anti-fog insert only provides a certain degree of prevention, results vary depending on the actual environment. The anti-fog insert is not for long-term use, it must be replaced regularly.
Notes before going underwater:
(Do the following actions indoors. Do not do these actions on sandy or dusty environment or near the water’s edge.)
Check if the area surrounding the waterproof case lock is clean,
do not allow dirt or sand or foreign objects around it.
Ensure that the waterproof case is closed. Ensure that the waterproof case has no cracks or scratches. If
the waterproof case has been dropped, contact your dealer for a replacement.
vii

not water resistant, be careful in using them.
Do not drop the waterproof case to ensure waterproof
durability.
Do not place the waterproof case in temperatures above 40°C
or below 0°C to ensure waterproof durability.
Do not attempt to make alterations on the waterproof case or
seal the vents yourself, doing so may damage its ability to maintain the camera waterproof.
When using the camcorder
The waterproof properties of the waterproof case apply to

After using the waterproof case
Be sure to come ashore within 60 minutes after going
underwater, this will maintain the appearance, quality and water resistance of the waterproof case.
After taking pictures underwater, clean the waterproof case
with running tap water. Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents, alcohol or similar liquids to clean the case.
