. Cleaning after Use
Perform the following steps to clean the camera after using it under water or after it
becomes soiled with sand, dirt, or mud. Note that the cover must be closed securely
when performing these steps.
1.
Immerse the camera in fresh water.
• Fill a bucket or other container with tap water or other fresh
water, and immerse the camera for about 10 minutes.
Gently wipe dust, dirt, sand, and other matter from the
camera with your fingers.
• Do not rub the lens surface while dirty.
2.
Wipe off all moisture.
• Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe the camera dry and then leave it in the
shade in a well-ventilated location to dry thoroughly. Closing the cover while
there are still water droplets present creates the risk of corrosion and
malfunction.
IMPORTANT!
• The temperature of the water used to wash the camera should be no greater than
30°C (86°F). Never use detergent, hot water, or strongly running water to clean the
camera. Doing so creates the risk of leaking and malfunction.
• Never swing the camera around to remove water, and never use a dryer or other
intense heat to dry it.
• Never place the camera in a washing machine to wash it.
. Precautions after Use
• Do not leave the camera in a location subjected to very high or very low (below
freezing) temperatures. In particular, avoid leaving the camera in areas exposed to
strong direct sunlight, in a motor vehicle on a hot day, etc. Doing so can cause loss
of splashproofing.
• Never use chemical agents for the purpose of cleaning, rust proofing, moisture
proofing, etc. Doing so can cause loss of splashproofing.
• Within 60 minutes after using the camera in water, use the procedure under
"Cleaning after Use" to wash it off. Failure to do so can cause deterioration of the
exterior finish and splashproofing properties.
• In order to maintain splashproofing, replacement of the camera's gaskets is
recommended once each year. Note that you will be charged for gasket
replacement. Contact a CASIO authorized service center or your original retailer
for gasket replacement.
