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

after using the camera under/near water”.

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.

• 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.

The number in ( ) is the minimum recordable time.

• The recordable time of movies varies because the camera is equipped with VBR

(Variable Bit Rate), which automatically adjusts image quality depending on the shooting scene. When you record a fast-moving subject, the image is clearer but the recordable time is shorter because more memory is required for recording. The recordable time also varies depending on the shooting conditions, the subject or the image quality/size settings.

If you experience any type of discomfort, stop viewing the 3D images until you feel better, and consult a physician as necessary. Also refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device or software you have connected or are using with this camera. Note that a child’s eyesight is still at the development stage (particularly children below the age of 6). Consult a pediatrician or ophthalmologist before letting your child view 3D images, and make sure he/she observes the above precautions when viewing such images.

On GPS-compatible devices (DSC-TX200V only)

• Use GPS in accordance with regulations of countries and regions where you use it.

• If you do not record the direction or location information, set [GPS setting] to [Off].
