Sony AC-UB10 Instruction Manual page 9

• 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".
• Open the battery/memory card cover with the camera completely dry.
• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover has been securely
locked.
Notes on using the camera under/near water
• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.
• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover while under/near
water.
• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand through the wrist strap to
prevent the camera from sinking.
• Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to
reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.
• If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will be
unable to record clear images.
Cleaning after using the camera under/near water
• Always clean the camera with water after use
within 60 minutes, and do not open the
battery/memory card cover before cleaning is
finished. Sand or water may get inside places
where it cannot be seen. If not rinsed, water-
proof performance will be degraded.
• Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured
into a cleaning bowl for about 5 minutes.
Then, gently shake the camera, press each button, slide the zoom lever inside
the water, to clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the
buttons.
• After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to
dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry
with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded water-
proof performance.
• Wipe away water drops or dust on the memory card/battery cover with a soft
dry cloth.
