Care of the camera
Do not subject to strong vibration, shock, or pressure.
The lens, LCD monitor, or external case may be damaged if used in
•
below conditions. It may also malfunction or image may not be
recorded.
– If you drop or hit the camera.

This camera is not dust/splash/water proof.
Avoid using the camera in a location with a lot of dust,
water, sand, etc.
•
Liquid, sand and other foreign material may get into the space
around the lens, buttons, etc. Be particularly careful since it may
not just cause malfunctions, but it may become unrepairable.
– Do not use in places with a lot of sand or dust.
– Do not use in places where water can come into contact with this
unit such as when using it on a rainy day or on the beach.
