This unit is equipped with Water proof, Dust proof, Drop proof and Freeze proof.

Water proof: Equivalent to IEC

Standard publication 529 IPX8 and IPX6 (30 minutes at depths up to 5 m (16.4 ft))

Dust proof: Equivalent to IEC Standard publication 529 IP5X

Drop proof: This camera clears company testing compliant with "MIL-STD-810F Method; 516.5 Shock: dropping onto plywood 3cm (1-3/16") thick from a height of 1.5 m (4.9 ft)"

Freeze proof: Allowable operating temperatures: −10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F) Note: Temperatures between

−10°C and 0°C (14°F and 32°F) temporarily lower battery performance, reducing the time available for recording.

Precautions for waterproof function

Malfunction due to misuse by the customer is not covered by warranty.

Before use in water, be sure to read and understand the “Detailed User Guide”.

Close the terminal cover firmly until it clicks and confirm that the red sign completely goes off.

Make sure that there is no damage to and no foreign material adhered to the packing inside the cover.

Use the camcorder in marine water and fresh water not deeper than 5 m or for not more than 30 minutes.

The waterproof cannot be guaranteed if the camcorder is subject to impact such as dropping.

Do not jump or dive into water holding the camcorder.

Do not use the camcorder in strong water flows such as in rapids or under waterfalls. The strong water pressure may impair the waterproof performance.

Do not soak the camcorder in hot springs or water of 40 °C or higher.

Fogging inside the Lens

Open the terminal cover.

Lens protective glass

Models with waterproof function are airtight. When the temperature rises during recording, condensation can occur inside the lens due to the internal humidity.

During recording

To prevent the temperature of this unit from rising, we recommend that you use the unit in the following ways.

Avoid frequent exposure to direct

sunlight.

Record under the shade or use an umbrella. Best if you could keep a wet towel cover the unit.

The use of a tripod is recommended.

Long hours of recording while holding the unit in your hands will cause the temperature of the unit to rise.

It is better to leave the terminal cover open

while recording.

However, the waterproof, dust-proof and shockproof features do not function in this condition. Do take note of the environment when using the camera. (Do not use a wet towel.)

Make sure to turn off the power when you

are not recording.

The power turns off when the LCD monitor is closed.

During charging

It is recommended to charge the unit in a low humidity environment.

The moist air inside the unit can cause condensation.

We recommend that you charge the unit in a room where humidifier is not in use, and in an air-conditioned room during summer.

When fogging occurs inside the lens

Open the terminal cover to reduce the temperature, close the LCD monitor and leave the camera as it is for a while.

Protecting the Lens

This unit does not come with a lens cover and lens cap.

However, there is a protective glass in front of the lens to protect the lens.

It is recommended to put the camera in a cloth bag when carrying it around.

If the protective glass is dirty, wipe clean using a commercially available cleaning cloth.
