Maximum Depth
This camera is designed to withstand water pressure up to a depth of 18 m
(59 ft) for approximately 60 minutes. At greater depth, water could seep inside
the camera, resulting in camera malfunction.

Precautions on Handling the Camera in Cold Locations
The operation of this camera has been confirmed at temperatures of –10°C
(14°F). If the camera is left with snow or water droplets adhered to the
exterior, snow or water droplets between the gaps may become frozen and
it may be difficult to operate parts of the camera.
At temperatures from –10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), the performance of the
batteries (number of images shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.
If the camera becomes extremely cold in cold locations, the monitor
performance may drop temporarily immediately after the power is turned
on (i.e., the monitor appears darker than usual or a residual image occurs).
When using the camera in cold locations or at high altitudes, keep the
camera warm inside a protection against cold or clothing.
B
Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or
battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens
cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens.
B
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated
building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To
prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag
before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
Do not expose the camera to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or
in direct sunlight before entering the water.
B
Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates
strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or
the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could
interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect
the product's internal circuitry.
