Shock resistant, Splashproof, Dustproof
This camera is designed to be shock resistant, splashproof, and dustproof as
described below.
0 Shock resistant:
Passes testing based on CASIO independent standards*
MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock.*
*1
Drop testing of the camera and controller individually from a height of
1.7 meters (5.58 feet) onto plywood (lauan), 10 directions (6 faces, 4 corners)
(1.3 meters (4.27 feet) when camera and controller are combined)
*2
Though the camera is designed to withstand the effects of impact occurring
during normal daily use, very strong impact due to very rough handling such as
throwing the camera or dropping it from excessive heights can result in serious
damage. Even if a drop does not result in functional problems, it can cause
scratching and other cosmetic damage to the camera.
0 Splashproof:
Splashproof equivalent to IEC/JIS Class 8 (IPX8)*
continuous use during immersion in water to a depth up to 1.5 meters (4.92 feet)
for 60 minutes*
4
*3
Signifies underwater use when immersed for a duration and at a pressure
specified by CASIO. Touch panel operation is not supported under water.
*4
Test conditions defined by CASIO.
*5
Use during high-speed travel on water during motor sports, while riding a
personal watercraft, etc. is not supported.
0 Dustproof:
Corresponds to IEC/JIS Protection Class 6 (IP6X) dustproofing.
IMPORTANT!
• The shock resistance, splashproofing, and dustproofing of this product are based
on CASIO test results, and do not constitute any guarantee that the product will
perform, will not be damaged, or will not malfunction under such conditions.
. Precautions before Underwater Use
This camera can be used to shoot images underwater up to a depth of 1.5 meters
(4.92 feet). However, the following precautions should be kept in mind before using
the camera underwater.
• When shooting in water or in an area where water droplets are getting on the
camera, the lens may fog while shooting or the next time you use the camera to
record images. This can be avoided by placing the camera, with its covers open,
into a plastic bag along with commercially available silica gel before shooting. This
will dry the interior of the camera and avoid lens fogging.
• Check the contact surfaces of the [CARD] cover and [USB] cover gaskets for dirt,
sand, and any other foreign matter. Clean contact surfaces by wiping them with a
soft, clean, dry cloth. Note that a single strand of hair or a single grain of sand can
allow water to leak into the camera.
• Check the [CARD] cover and [USB] cover splashproofing gaskets are free of
cracks, scratches, and other damage.
