About water-proof and dust-proof performance of
the camera
This camera is equipped to be water-proof and dust-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).
• As for dust-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 and dust-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. 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 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 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
GB
after using the camera under/near water”.
6
1 Sealing gasket
2 Surface contacting
the sealing gasket
• Open the battery/memory card cover with the camera completely dry.
• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover has 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 operations.
• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.
• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover while under/near
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.
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, waterproof 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 inside
the water, to clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the
buttons.
• 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.
GB
GB

• 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 replaced for a fee.
