surface) complying with MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock testing.
• The camera satisfies our test for the waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof 
performance, but this does not guarantee it will remain free of trouble or 
damages.
• Waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is exposed to impact 
such as being dropped or hit.
• Make sure that there are no cracks or scratches on the rubber seal of the 
battery cover.
• Make sure that there are no foreign objects (dust, sand, hair, lint or liquid) on the 
rubber seal or the surface they contact before closing the battery cover. Wipe 
off any foreign objects with a clean lint-free cloth.
