3.1.
Introduction

Please place orders using the parts list and not the drawing reference numbers.
If the circuit is changed or modified, the information will be followed by service manual to be controlled with original service manual.
3.2.
Air-leak test (inspection)
Waterproof/Dustproof Performance
This camera's waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the "IPX8" and "IP6X" ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines
described in this document are strictly followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 12 m (40 feet) for a time
not exceeding 60 minutes. (*1)
Anti-shock Performance
This camera also complies with "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock". The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 2 m (6.6
feet) onto 3 cm (0.10 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any damage if dropped from a height not
exceeding 2 m (6.6 feet). (*2)
This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
*1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure in accordance with the handling
method established by Panasonic.
*2 "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock" is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense Department, which specifies
performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4.0 feet), at 26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of
devices, and passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to pass the
drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
Panasonic's test method is based on the above "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock". However, the drop height was changed
from 122 cm (4.0 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping onto 3 cm (0.10 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where drop impact is applied.)
• Due to the above characteristics of the products, perform the air-leak test (inspection) using Air -leak tester (Part No.:RFKZ0528)
before/after servicing including assembly and/or assembly process.
Note:
The purpose of the air-leak test before servicing is that whether the malfunction occurred due to air-leak or not.
• When servicing, refer to the "7.Troubleshooting Guide" section for details.
3.3.
Replacing the waterproof packing (waterproof seal)
• The integrity of the waterproof packing may decrease about 1 year, with use and age.
(We recommend end users to replace the waterproof packing (waterproof seal) at least once each year described in the
operating instructions.)
• As for replacement procedure, refer to the 7.1.2. Periodical maintenance (Packing replacement) flow for details.
3.4.
Lens Unit
