Notes About Using the Camera Underwater
Observe the following precautions to prevent water from seeping inside the
camera.
• Do not dive into water deeper than 5 m (16.4 ft) with the camera.
• Do not continuously use the camera underwater for 60 minutes or more.
• Use the camera in the water temperature range 0°C–40°C (32°F–104°F) when using it
underwater.
Do not use the camera at hot springs.
• Do not open or close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover underwater.
• Do not subject the camera to shock when using it underwater.
Do not jump into water with the camera or subject it to high water pressure conditions
such as rapids or waterfalls.
• This camera does not float in water. Make sure not to drop the camera underwater.
Cleaning After Using the Camera Underwater
• After using the camera underwater, clean the camera within 60 minutes. If you leave the
camera in wet conditions where salt particles or other foreign substances adhere to it, this
could cause damage, discoloration, corrosion, a bad smell or deterioration of waterproof
performance.
• Before cleaning the camera, thoroughly remove water droplets, sand, salt particles, or
other foreign substances from your hands, body, and hair.
• It is recommended to clean the camera indoors to avoid a place where it could be exposed
to water spray or sand.
• Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until all foreign substances are
washed off with water and all moisture is wiped off.
