NOTE
Before recording in water
❖
Make sure that the slot cover and the port cover are closed. If a cover is
open, water will get inside the camcorder and damage it. When closing the
slot cover and port cover, make sure that no foreign object such as sand,
hair, dust, etc. is caught in the rubber seal.
❖
There are places in the camcorder where water might accumulate, but this
will not affect its waterproof properties. To care for your camcorder after
using it in water, see
page
Storing and maintaining your camcorder
❖
Do not leave the camcorder unwashed after it has been
immersed in salt water or if salt water is adhering to it. Doing so
may cause corrosion and discoloration of the plating, as well as
deterioration of the camcorder's waterproof capability.
❖
After the camcorder has been used in water, use fresh water to
wash it. Never use soap or detergent to clean the camcorder, as
doing so will cause deterioration of the camcorder's waterproof
capability.
❖
After washing the camcorder, take care to completely drain it,
and use a dry cloth to wipe off any drops of water adhering to it.
❖
Do not leave the camcorder in an environment colder than 32 °F
(0 °C) or warmer than 104 °F (40 °C), as doing so may cause
deterioration of the camcorder's waterproof capability.
Other cautions
❖
Do not subject the camcorder to severe jolts, as doing so may
deform the slot cover, port cover or the camcorder body, thus
compromising its waterproof capability.
