Precautions
General precautions
• Do not use or 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 fire the flash while it is too close to the subject's eyes. Intense light from the flash can cause eye damage if it is fired too close to the eyes. When using the flash, the camera should be at least one meter from the eyes of the subject.
• 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 in 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 camera.

Notes on the LCD Screen
Be very careful to ensure the fluid contained in the LCD screen does not escape if the screen becomes cracked or damaged. If this occurs, follow these steps:
• If the fluids make contact with skin, wipe it with a clean cloth then rinse with a large amount of water.
• If the fluid makes contact with eyes, wash eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes and go to the hospital as soon as possible.
• If the fluid is swallowed, first rinse mouth with water, then drink a large amount of water and induce vomiting. Go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Operation conditions
• This camera is designed for use in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Do not use or keep the camera in the following areas:
- In areas subject to direct sunlight
- In areas subject to high humidity or dust
- Near air conditioners, heaters, or other areas subject to temperature extremes
- Inside of a closed vehicle, especially one parked in the sun.
- In areas subject to strong vibration
Power supply
• Use only the type of battery that came with your camera. Using any other type of battery may damage the equipment and invalidate the warranty.
• Ensure the battery is inserted correctly. Inserting the battery incorrectly can cause damage to the product and possibly start a fire.
vii
• Remove the battery to avoid the fluid leakage if the camera is not going to be used for a long time.
• If the battery is crushed or damaged, remove it immediately to avoid the battery fluid leakage and abnormal expansion.

• The camera’s waterproof performance is equivalent IPX8
• Underwater time limit: Do not use the camera underwater for
more than 60 minutes to ensure water resistance.
• The camera is not dust-proof.

Notes before going underwater:
(Do not do the following actions on sandy /dusty environment or near the water’s edge, please check indoors)
• Check if the area surrounding the battery/USB port is clean, do not allow dirt or sand or foreign objects around it.
• Ensure that the battery/USB compartment cover has no cracks or scratches.
• Ensure that the battery/USB compartment cover is closed.
• Ensure that the camera has no cracks, if the camera has been

viii
Notes for general use:
(If the USB cable is directly connected to a computer or if the AV cable is connected to a TV, be careful in plugging it, do not allow it to touch the battery/USB compartment cover to avoid waterproof loss.)
• Avoid opening or closing the battery/USB compartment cover near the water’s edge (sea, lake, beach, lake, etc.). Do not open or close the cover with wet hands, or hands with sand or dust.
• If taking pictures near the water’s edge, pay attention not to drop the front lens. If it is dropped, wipe off water drops using a non-fiber clean cloth or a soft absorbent cotton cloth as soon as possible so as not to leave water drop marks.
• The accessories (batteries, etc.) used with the camera are not water resistant, be careful in using them.
• Do not drop the camera to ensure waterproof durability.
• Do not place the camera in temperatures above 40°C or below
0°C to ensure waterproof durability.
• Do not attempt to make the camera waterproof or seal the vents yourself, doing so may damage the camera’s waterproof ability.
When using the camera
• The waterproof properties of the camera apply to fresh water and saltwater only; they do not apply to cleaning substances, chemicals, or water from spas, etc. Any such liquids should be wiped off immediately.
• Do not immerse in water at a depth greater than 3.0 m (10 ft).
• Do not subject the camera to highly pressurized water.
• Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60
minutes of use in water, allow the camera to dry for at least 10 minutes.
ix
x
• Do not immerse in water warmer than 40°C (104°F).
• Do not open or close the battery/USB compartment cover
when the camera is wet or underwater.
• Do not open or close the battery/USB compartment cover with wet hands.
• Do not open the battery/USB compartment cover next to water or a pool.
• The camera is not dust-proof.
• Do not bump or knock the camera underwater, otherwise the
battery/USB compartment cover may open.
After using the camera
• Be sure to come ashore within 60 minutes after going underwater, this will maintain the appearance, quality and water resistance of the camera.
• After taking pictures underwater, clean the camera in a bucket of water without salt. Ensure that the battery/USB compartment cover is closed; then soak the camera in the bucket of water for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, wipe the camera and the lens dry with absorbent cotton. Place the camera in a well ventilated cool place to dry naturally (do not place under direct sunlight or exposed areas). Be sure to wait until the camera is completely dry before opening the battery/USB compartment cover (open the compartment cover while holding an absorbent cotton to dry off water or clean other impurities around the cover).
• Wipe off water drops on the camera and the lens with a soft lint-free cloth (to avoid fiber) and place it in a well-ventilated place to dry. The cover at the battery/IO DOOR can be opened only after dry to prevent water from entering the camera when opening.
xi
• Before you open the cover at the battery/IO DOOR, always wipe off water drops inside the cover. Note that it should face down when opening.
Notes on maintenance
• Be sure to wipe any dirt or sand off the waterproof sealing material or its contraction surface. Dirt or sand may scratch the material or the surface, making the camera less resistant to water.
• Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents, alcohol or similar liquids to clean the camera. They may make the camera less resistant to water.
• The waterproof of sealing material is replaceable at cost. The material should be replaced once a year to maintain the camera water resistance.
Other Notes
• If water accidentally enters the camera or any problem occurs when it is in water, please get out of water immediately and take proper actions. Dry the camera and send it to repair.
• Information is subject to change without notice. Refer to the important notes in the manual supplied with the camera.
