Care of the camera

Handling of the camera (to prevent water leakage and malfunction)

•

Foreign objects may adhere to the inner side of the side door (around the
rubber seal or connecting terminals) when the side door is opened or
closed in places with sand or dust, etc. This may result in the impairment
of the waterproof performance if the side door is closed with foreign
objects adhered. Be extremely careful since it may result in malfunction,
etc.

•

In case foreign objects adhere to the inner side of the side door, wipe
them off with a dry, lint-free cloth.

•

If any liquid such as water droplets is adhered to the camera or inner
side of the side door, wipe off with a soft, dry cloth. Do not open or close
the side door near the water, when underwater, using wet hands, or when
the camera is wet. It may cause water leakage.

Do not apply strong shock or vibration by dropping or knocking the
camera. Also, do not apply strong pressure to the camera.
e.g.:

–

Sit down with the camera in your trousers pocket or forcefully insert it into a
full or tight bag, etc.

–

Attach any items such as accessories to the strap attached to the camera.

–

When strong pressure is applied using the camera at a depth exceeding 13 m (43 feet).
