(Important) About the waterproof/dustproof and anti-shock performance of the camera
• Please observe the following precautions, and avoid using this camera in any situation where
the camera is subject to high water pressure. This camera’s waterproof/dustproof rating
complies with the “IPX8” and “IP5X” ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines
described in this document are strictly followed, this camera can op erate underwater, to a depth
not exceeding 3 m for a time not exceedin g 60 minutes.
“MIL-STD 810F (Method 516.5-Shock).¢2 The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of
1.5 m onto 5 cm thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any damage if
dropped from a height not exceeding 1.5 m.
• Supplied accessories are not waterproof.
¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in spe cified pressure
in accordance with the handling me thod established by Panasonic. This does not guarantee
no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
¢2 This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
Observe the following precautions and avoid using under water pressure exceeding the
guaranteed performance, and in an environment with excessive dust or sand.
Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or
dropped etc.
When an impact is applied to the camera, it is recommended to consult Panasonic’s
Service Centre and perform a checkup (subject to a fee) to see if the waterproofing has
been retained properly.
Any malfunction caused by customer misuse, or mishandling will not be covered by the warranty.
∫ Handling of the camera
•
Do not leave the camera under low temperature in the cold climate, or where it has high temperature
above 40oC (especially where st rong sunl ight is shining, inside a car under the sun, close to a
heater, in the ship, beach, etc.) for long period of ti me. (Waterproof performance will degrade.)
• Do not open or close the card/battery door or terminal cover close to the water at the sea, lake ,
river or with wet hands.
• Waterproof function of the camera is for sea water and fresh wa ter only.
∫ Confirm that there is no foreign object
•
In the areas adjacent to location B, please be sure that no droplets of water are present before
opening the battery door.
• Before closing the card/battery door or terminal cover, confirm that there are no foreign objects
(hair, lint, sand, dust, fluid, etc.) on the part (B and C) coloured black in the figure. When the
camera is used underwater with foreign objects clamped on the card/battery door or the
terminal cover, water may leak in, causing a malfunction.
• Wipe it off with a dry soft cloth if there is any liquid.
• If there is any foreign object, remove it with attached brush.
• If there is any crack or deformation in the area coloured black in the figure, contact Panasonic’s
Service Ce ntre.
• Keep the Brush out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.

Before Use
∫ Securely close the SD card/battery door and terminal cover
A Red part
• To prevent water leakage please check very
carefully that no foreign object such as sand,
hair, dust or fluid is present anywhere within
the area of the door seal and door. Close the
door by pressing it firmly until it clicks. Confirm
that the “red” area on the lock tab is not visible.
∫ Using the camera underwater
•
This camera can be used under water to a depth not exceeding 3 m, where the water temperature is
between 0
• If there is water or dirt on the camera, use it after wiping it off with a dry soft cloth and dried in a
well ventilated area.
• Do not open or close the card/battery door or terminal cover.
• Do not apply shock to the camera underwater. (Waterproof performance may not be
maintained, and there is a chance of water leak)
• Do not dive into the water holding the camera. Do no t use the camera at the location where the
water will splash strongly, such as rapid flow or waterfall. (Strong water pressure may be
applied, and it may cause malfunction)
• The camera will sink in the water. Take care not to drop the camera and lose it underwater by
securely placing the hand strap around your wrist or similar measure.
•
Do not use in water that exceeds 40oC such as in baths, hot tubs, spas and hot springs.
• When the camera is splashed with detergent, soap, hot spring, bath additive, sun oil, sun
screen, chemical, etc., wipe it off immed iately.
• Card and battery are not waterp roof. Do not handle with a wet hand. Also, do not insert wet
card or battery into the camera.
oC to 40oC and not longer than 60 minutes continuously.

Before Use
∫ Caring of the camera after using it underwater
• After all underwater use, dry the camera thoroughly,
as quickly as possible using a lint free cloth. This must
be done within 60 minutes of use, or the waterproof
seals may be damaged.
• If the camera was used in salt water the camera must
be thoroughly rinsed and cleansed as quickly as
possible. It’s recommended that it is first rinsed with
fresh water, then submersed in fresh water in a
shallow container for about 10 minutes. When the
camera is removed, thoroughly dry it.
• Droplets of water may collect in the area around the battery door. Before opening the door
make sure this area is water-free.
• This camera has a water drain that allows water that has accumulated under the plastic trim to
drain. This may continue for up to 10 minutes, even after the camera is dried. You can place the
camera in a vertical position on a dry cloth during this time.
• If the zoom lever or mode dial does not move smoothly, it may be caused by the adhesion of
foreign objects. It may cause malfunctions, such as locking up, so wash off any foreign objects
on the zoom lever or mode dial by shaking the camera in fresh water. Confirm that the zoom
lever and mode dial moves smoothly after cleaning.
• After soaking or washing the unit, wip e off water drops with a dry soft cloth and dry the unit in
an area of shade with a draft.
• This unit incorporates drain design, draining water in gaps in the power button and zoom lever
etc. As a result of this, bubbles may come out when you soak the unit in water, but it is not a
malfunction. Make sure that water is completely drained from the unit after soaking in water by
standing the unit on a dry cloth for a while.
• Do not dry the camera with hot air from dryer or similar. Waterproof performance will deteriorate
due to deformation.
• Do not use chemicals, such as benzine, thinner, or alcohol, soap, detergents.
∫ Replacing the waterproof seal
The integrity of the waterproof seals may decrease after about 1 year, with use and age. To
•
avoid permanently damaging the camera the seals should be replaced once each year. Please
contact Panasonic’s Service Centre for related costs and other information.
