∫This unit incorporates a drain design
This unit incorporates a drain design, draining 
water from gaps in the camera [OFF/ON] 
button and zoom lever etc. As a result of this, 
bubbles may come out when you soak the 
unit in water, but it is not a malfunction.
Note
•
Wipe off the water and dirt on the camera with a dry soft cloth.•Do not leave the camera uncared for more than 60 minutes after using it 
underwater. It may cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
•After use at the seaside or under water, make sure that the card/battery door 
and terminal cover are firmly closed and soak the unit in fresh water in a shallow 
container for 10 minutes or less.
•If the zoom lever, mode dial, or camera [OFF/ON] button do not move smoothly, 
it may be caused by an adhesion of foreign objects. Using the camera in such a 
state may cause malfunctions, such as locking up, so wash off any foreign 
objects by soaking the camera in fresh water. Confirm that the zoom lever, mode 
dial, and camera [OFF/ON] button move smoothly after cleaning.
•After soaking or washing the unit, wipe off water drops with a dry soft cloth and 
dry the unit in a shaded area which is well ventilated.
•Make sure that water is completely drained from the unit after soaking in water 
by standing the unit on a dry cloth for a while.
•Do not dry the camera with hot air from a dryer or similar. Waterproof 
performance will deteriorate due to possible deformation.
•Do not use chemicals such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, cleanser, or soap or 
detergents.
•Example of water droplets around card/battery slot.
A : Water droplet
B :Battery
C :Card
•
Water droplets may attach to the card or the battery when the card/battery door 
is opened without fully drying the camera after it is used underwater or soaked in 
fresh water. Be sure to wipe off the water with a soft dry cloth in such cases.
•Do not open or close the card/battery door and terminal cover with droplets of 
water still on the camera. The water droplets may seep into the camera, causing 
condensation or failure.
