∫ This unit incorporates drain design
This unit incorporates drain design, draining
water in gaps in the camera [OFF/ON] button
and zoom lever etc. As a result of this, bubbles
may come out when you soak the unit in water,
but it is not a malfunction.
•
Example of water droplets around card/battery slot.
A: Water droplet
B: Battery
C: Card
•
Water droplets may attach to the card or the battery when the card/battery door
is opened without fully drying the camera after it is used underwater or soaked in
fresh water. Be sure to wipe off the water with a soft dry cloth in such cases.
•
Do not open or close the card/battery door and terminal cover with droplets of
water still on the camera. The water droplets may seep into the camera, causing
condensation or failure.
Note
•
Wipe off the water and dirt on the camera with a dry soft cloth.
•
Do not leave the camera uncared for more than 60 minutes after using it
underwater. It may cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
•
After use at the seaside or under water, make sure that the card/battery door
and terminal cover are firmly closed and soak the unit in fresh water pooled in a
shallow container for 10 minutes or less.
•
If the zoom lever, mode dial, or camera [OFF/ON] button do not move smoothly,
it may be caused by an adhesion of foreign objects. Using in such a state may
cause malfunctions, such as locking up, so wash off any foreign objects by
shaking the camera in fresh water. Confirm that the zoom lever, mode dial, and
camera [OFF/ON] button move smoothly after cleaning.
•
After soaking or washing the unit, wipe off water drops with a dry soft cloth and
dry the unit in a shaded area which is well ventilated.
•
Make sure that water is completely drained from the unit after soaking in water
by standing the unit on a dry cloth for a while.
•
Do not dry the camera with hot air from dryer or similar. Waterproof performance
will deteriorate due to deformation.
•
Do not use chemicals such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser, or soap or
detergents.
