About the battery cover and memory card/connector cover
– Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the battery cover or memory card/connector cover.
Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead to water entering the camera.
– Always confirm that the battery cover or memory card/connector cover has been securely locked. The
water-proof/dust-proof performance is not ensured when the battery cover or memory card/connector cover is open.
– When you open or close the battery cover or memory card/connector cover, ensure that the camera is completely dry.
– Do not open/close the battery cover or memory card/connector 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."
