About water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof performance of the camera

This camera is equipped to be water-proof, dust-proof and shock-proof. Damage caused from misuse, abuse or failure to properly maintain the camera is not covered by the limited warranty.

• This camera is water-proof/dust-proof equivalent to IEC60529 IP58. The

camera is operable up to a water depth of 5 m for 60 minutes.

• Do not subject the camera to pressurized water, such as from a tap.

• Do not use in hot springs.

• Use the camera in the recommended operating water temperature range of

–10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F).

• Conforming to MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock standards, this product

has passed testing when dropped from a height of 1.5 m above a 5-cm thick plywood board

*Depending on use conditions and circumstances, no guarantee is made regarding

damage to, malfunction of, or the water-proof performance of this camera.

• As for dust-proof/shock-proof performance, there is no guarantee that the

camera will not become scratched or dented.

• Sometimes water-proof performance is lost if the camera is subjected to a

strong shock such as from being dropped. We recommend the camera be inspected at an authorized repair shop for a fee.

• Accessories supplied do not meet water-proof, dust-proof, and shock-proof

specifications.

Notes before using the camera under/near water

• Make sure that no foreign matter such as

sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the battery/ memory card cover or multi-connector cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead to water entering the camera.

• Confirm that the sealing gasket and its mating surfaces have not become scratched. Even a small scratch may lead to water entering the camera. If the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces become scratched, take the camera to an authorized repair shop to have the sealing gasket replaced for a fee.

• If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces, wipe the area clean with

1 Sealing gasket 2 Surface contacting the

sealing gasket

a soft cloth that will not leave behind any fibers. Prevent the sealing gasket from becoming scratched by touching it while charging a battery or using a cable.

• Do not open/close the battery/memory card cover or multi-connector cover with wet or sandy hands or near water. There is a risk this will lead to sand or water getting inside. Before opening the cover, perform the procedure described in “Cleaning after using the camera under/near water”.

• Open the battery/memory card cover and multi-connector cover with the camera completely dry.

• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover and multi-connector cover have been securely locked.

Notes on using the camera under/near water

• The touch panel may be activated by water splashes on the screen icons. When using the camera under/near water, it is recommended that you hide the icons by touching on the right side of the screen. Touch for a few seconds to display the icons again.

• The touch panel cannot be operated underwater. Use the buttons of the camera to perform shooting or playback operations.

• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.

• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover or multi-connector cover while under/near water.

• Use a separately available housing (Marine Pack) if going more than 5 meters under water.

• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand through the wrist strap to prevent the camera from sinking.

• Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.

• Select (Underwater) in Scene Selection to shoot underwater with less distortion.

• If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will be

unable to record clear images.

• Do not open the lens cover where the sand is whirling.

Cleaning after using the camera under/near water

• Always clean the camera with water after use within 60 minutes, and do not open the battery/ memory card cover before cleaning is finished. Sand or water may get inside places where it cannot be seen. If not rinsed, water-proof performance will be degraded.

• Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured into a cleaning bowl for about 5 minutes. Then, gently shake the camera, press each button, slide the zoom lever or the lens cover inside the water, to clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the buttons or the lens cover.

• After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded waterproof performance.

• Wipe away water drops or dust on the memory card/battery cover or terminal cover with a soft dry cloth.

• This camera is constructed to drain water. Water will drain from openings around the ON/OFF (Power) button, zoom lever, and other controls. After removing from water, place the camera on a dry cloth for a while to allow water to drain.

• Bubbles may appear when the camera is placed under water. This is not a malfunction.

• The camera body may become discolored if it comes in contact with sunscreen or suntan oil. If the camera does come in contact with sunscreen or suntan oil, quickly wipe it clean.

• Do not allow the camera to sit with salt water inside or on the surface. This may lead to corrosion or discoloration, and degradation of water-proof performance.

• To maintain the water-proof performance, we recommend that once a year you take the camera to your dealer, or to an authorized repair shop, to have the sealing gasket of the battery/memory card cover, or of the multiconnector cover replaced for a fee.

Notes on the screen and lens

• The screen is manufactured using extremely high-precision technology so over

99.99% of the pixels are operational for effective use. However, some tiny black and/or bright dots (white, red, blue or green) may appear on the screen. These dots are a normal result of the manufacturing process, and do not affect the recording.

• The touch panel is less likely to react when gloves are worn.

On camera’s temperature

Your camera and battery may get warm due to continuous use, but it is not a malfunction.

On the overheat protection

Depending on the camera and battery temperature, you may be unable to record movies or the power may turn off automatically to protect the camera. A message will be displayed on the screen before the power turns off or you can no longer record movies. In this case, leave the power off and wait until the camera and battery temperature goes down. If you turn on the power without letting the camera and battery cool enough, the power may turn off again or you may be unable to record movies.

On charging the battery

If you charge a battery that has not been used for a long time, you may be unable to charge it to the proper capacity. This is due to the battery characteristics, and is not a malfunction. Charge the battery again.
