„Replacing the rubber packing

To maintain the waterproof ability, replace the rubber packing every two years, regardless of whether it has gotten
dirty. If you use the camera frequently in a wet, sandy, or dusty environment, we recommend replacing the packing
every year.
The replacement will be performed by the Ricoh Repair Center on a chargeable basis.
