About water-proof and dust-proof performance of
the camera
This camera is equipped to be water-proof and dust-proof. Damage caused
from misuse, abuse or failure to properly maintain the camera is not covered
by the limited warranty.
• This camera is water-proof/dust-proof equivalent to IEC60529 IP58. The
camera is operable up to a water depth of 5 m for 60 minutes.
• Do not subject the camera to pressurized water, such as from a tap.
• Do not use in hot springs.
• Use the camera in the recommended operating water temperature range of
–10°C to +40°C (14°F to 104°F).
• As for dust-proof performance, there is no guarantee that the camera will not
become scratched or dented.
• Sometimes water-proof performance is lost if the camera is subjected to a
strong shock such as from being dropped. We recommend the camera be
inspected at an authorized repair shop for a fee.
• Accessories supplied do not meet water-proof and dust-proof specifications.
Notes before using the camera under/near water
• Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the
battery/memory card cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead
to water entering the camera.
• Confirm that the sealing gasket and its
mating surfaces have not become
scratched. Even a small scratch may
lead to water entering the camera. If the
sealing gasket or its mating surfaces
become scratched, take the camera to an
authorized repair shop to have the
sealing gasket replaced for a fee.
• If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket
or its mating surfaces, wipe the area
clean with a soft cloth that will not leave
behind any fibers. Prevent the sealing
gasket from becoming scratched by touching it while charging a battery or
using a cable.
• Do not open/close the battery/memory card 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".
