1. Keep the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover closed and wash off
the camera with fresh water.
Immerse the camera in a shallow basin filled
with freshwater for 10 minutes.
• If the buttons or switches do not operate
properly, foreign substances may have adhered.
Since this could cause a malfunction, immerse
the camera in fresh water and shake it
sufficiently in the water to remove the any
foreign substances from the camera.
• When the camera is immersed in the water, a few air bubbles may come out from
the water drain holes of the camera such as openings in the microphone or
speakers. This is not a malfunction.
2. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry the camera in the well-
ventilated and shady place.
• Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it.
Water will flow out from openings in the microphone or speakers.
• Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer.
• Do not use chemicals (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser), soap, or neutral
detergents.
If the waterproof packing or body of the camera becomes deformed, the waterproof
performance will deteriorate.
3. After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera, open
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and gently wipe off any
water or sand remaining inside the camera with a dry soft cloth.
• If you open the cover before the camera is thoroughly dried, water droplets may fall
on a memory card or battery.
The water droplets may also seep inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot
cover (in locations such as waterproof packing, hinges, memory card slot, or
terminals).
If that happens, wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.
• If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation or
malfunction.
• If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets, the sound
may deteriorate or become distorted.
- Wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.
- Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp implement. If
the inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof performance will
deteriorate.
