• Do not open the lens cover where the sand is whirling.
Cleaning after using the camera under/near water
• Always clean the camera with water after use
within 60 minutes, and do not open the
battery/memory card cover or multi-connector
cover before cleaning is finished. Sand or
water may get inside places where it cannot be
seen. If not rinsed, water-proof performance
will be degraded.
• Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured
into a cleaning bowl for about 5 minutes. Then, gently shake the camera,
press each button, slide the zoom lever or the lens cover inside the water, to
clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the buttons or the
lens cover.
• After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to
dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry
with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded water-
proof performance.
• Wipe away water drops or dust on the memory card/battery cover or terminal
cover with a soft dry cloth.
• This camera is constructed to drain water. Water will drain from openings
around the ON/OFF (Power) button, zoom lever, and other controls. After
removing from water, place the camera on a dry cloth for a while to allow
water to drain.
• Bubbles may appear when the camera is placed under water. This is not a
malfunction.
• The camera body may become discolored if it comes in contact with
sunscreen or suntan oil. If the camera does come in contact with sunscreen or
suntan oil, quickly wipe it clean.
• Do not allow the camera to sit with salt water inside or on the surface. This
may lead to corrosion or discoloration, and degradation of water-proof
performance.
• To maintain the water-proof performance, we recommend that once a year
you take the camera to your dealer, or to an authorized repair shop, to have
the sealing gasket of the battery/memory card cover, or of the multi-
connector cover replaced for a fee.
