Camera Care And The Waterproof Performance; Using The Camera Underwater - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS10 Basic Operating Instructions Manual

Camera care and the waterproof
performance
To prevent water from entering the camera, be sure to observe the
following before use.
■
Do not open or close the card/battery door or terminal
cover in sandy or dusty locations, while close to water, or
with wet hands.
When the camera is used in the locations described above, sand or
dust may enter through the gaps of the card/battery door or terminal
cover and adhere to the camera without you knowing. Make sure in
advance that the levels of the battery and card memory are sufficient.
■
The use of the supplied silicone jacket is recommended
to prevent the card/battery door or terminal cover from
opening unexpectedly.
■
The performance of the camera's rubber seal starts to
deteriorate after 1 year.
It is recommended that you contact a Panasonic Service Center at
least once a year to have the rubber seal replaced (subject to a fee).
●
Use this camera in a water depth of 3 m (10 feet) or less, in a water
temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F), and do not use
continuously underwater for longer than 60 minutes.
●
Do not use in hot water exceeding 40 °C (104 °F) (such as a bath or hot springs).
●
Do not open or close the card/battery door or terminal cover.
●
Do not subject the camera to an impact underwater. (It may impair the
waterproof performance and allow water to enter.)
●
Do not dive into the water holding the camera. Do not use in locations
subject to strong water flows, such as in rapids or under waterfalls. (The
strong water pressure may cause a malfunction.)
●
The camera sinks in water. Attach the camera securely to yourself, such
as by wearing the hand strap around your wrist, to prevent you from
dropping and losing the camera.
●
If the camera is splashed by substances such as detergent, soap, hot spring
water, bath powder, sun oil, sunscreen or chemicals, wipe off immediately.
●
The card and battery are not waterproof. Do not handle them with wet
hands. Further, do not insert a wet card or battery into the camera.
