corners of the rubber seal.
2Check for cracks and deformation of the rubber seal on the side door.•The integrity of the rubber seals may decrease after about 1 year, with use and age. To 
avoid permanently damaging the camera, the seals should be replaced once each 
year. Please contact Panasonic for related costs and other information.

•Do not dive into the water holding the camera. Do not use the camera in a location where the 
water will splash strongly, such as rapid flow or waterfall. (Strong water pressure may be 
applied, and it may cause malfunction.)
•The camera will sink in the water. Take care not to drop the camera and lose it underwater by 
securely placing the strap around your wrist or similar measure.
1Rinse with water with the side door closed.•After use at the seaside or underwater, soak the unit in 
fresh water pooled in a shallow container for 
10 minutes or less.
•If the zoom button or camera [ON/OFF] button do not 
press smoothly, it may be caused by an adhesion of 
foreign objects. Using in such a state may cause 
malfunctions, such as locking up, so wash off any 
foreign objects by shaking the camera in fresh water.
•Bubbles may come out of the drainage hole when you 
immerse the camera in water, but this is not a 
malfunction.
Using the camera underwater
Caring of the camera after using it underwater
Do not open or close the side door until the sand and dust is removed by 
rinsing the camera with water.

•Thoroughly wipe off any water droplets, sand, and saline matter on your hands, body, hair, 
etc.
•It is recommended to clean the camera indoors, avoiding places where water spray or 
sand may fall.
After using it underwater, always clean the camera rather than leaving it in a 
dirty state.

discoloration, corrosion, unusual odour, or deterioration of the waterproof performance.

and shaking it lightly a few times.
•After using the camera at the beach or in water, or after washing it, water may remain 
around the speaker and microphone for a while and may cause a drop in volume or 
sound distortion.

3Wipe off water drops on the camera with a 
soft, dry cloth and dry the camera in a 
shaded area that is well ventilated.
•Dry the camera by standing it on a dry cloth. 
This unit incorporates drain design, draining 
water in gaps in the camera [ON/OFF] button 
and zoom button etc.

or similar. Waterproof performance will 
deteriorate due to deformation.
•Do not use chemicals such as benzine, thinner, alcohol or cleanser, soap or 
detergents.
4Confirm that there are no water droplets, open the side door, and wipe off 
any water droplets or sand left inside using a soft, dry cloth.
•Water droplets may adhere to the card or battery when the side door is opened without 
thoroughly drying. Also, water may accumulate in the gap around the card/battery slot 
or the terminal connector. Be sure to wipe any water off with a soft, dry cloth.
•The water droplets may seep into the camera when the side door is closed while it is 
still wet, causing condensation or failure.
