"Before using the unit under water"
(IMPORTANT) Waterproof performance
Check the following before closing the card/battery door and
terminal cover.
• If foreign material (such as a strand of hair or string, or some sand or dust)
adheres to the areas shown in black in the illustration (
areas they come in contact with) when the card/battery door or terminal
cover is closed, water could leak inside and cause a malfunction when the unit
is used underwater. Check to make sure no foreign matter has adhered to the
areas indicated before closing the card/battery door and terminal cover.
• If you notice any cracks or malformations in the areas shown in black in the
illustration, contact Service Center to have the affected parts replaced.

Underwater use
• The unit may be used underwater at depths not exceeding
2.0 m (6.5 feet), and in areas where the water temperature
is in the range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F); do not,
however, use it continuously underwater for more than
30 minutes. Before using the unit again underwater, wipe
off the moisture using a lint-free cloth, and allow the unit to
dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated location.
• Do not jump or dive into the water while holding the unit
or subject the unit to impacts while in the water. (Doing so
may cause water to leak inside.) Do not use the unit where
the current is swift, near waterfalls, or in other locations
where it will be subjected to the strong forces exerted by
water. (Doing so may cause high water-pressure to be
applied to the unit, possibly resulting in problems.)
• Since the unit will sink in water, attach the float
provided to the strap and fix the strap securely in place
or take other steps to ensure that it will not be dropped.
• Do not use the unit in hot water (such as in a bathtub or
hot springs) with a temperature exceeding 40 °C (104 °F).
• Do not use the unit underwater while the tripod
(sold separately) or any type of camera base is still
mounted in the unit's tripod mounting hole. Doing
so may cause water to seep inside, possibly causing the unit to malfunction.
