• Please note that deleting data, or formatting the microSD cards or the 
built-in memory does not completely erase the original data. Deleted 
files can sometimes be recovered using commercially available 
software. It is user’s responsibility to ensure the privacy of such data.
• The data on your microSD card should be managed at your own risk.
• This camera is provided with a waterproof/dustproof design complying 
with JIS waterproof grade 8 and JIS dustproof grade 6 (equivalent to 
IP68).
• The camera satisfies our drop test (2 m height onto a 5 cm thick plywood 
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.
• To maintain the waterproof and dustproof performance, be sure to keep 
the lens protector on.
• Make sure that there are no cracks or scratches on the rubber seal of 
the battery/card cover.
• Make sure that there are no foreign objects (dust, sand, hair, lint or 
liquid) on the rubber seal or the contact surface before closing the 
battery/card cover. Wipe off any foreign objects with a clean lint-free 
cloth.
• Close the battery/card cover properly until it clicks. Otherwise water may 
get in and damage the camera.
• Avoid opening the battery/card cover when near the waterside or with 
wet hands. When changing the battery or the microSD card, avoid 
places where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that 
the camera and your hands are completely dry.
• The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap 
to the camera and wrap it around your wrist when using the camera in 
or near water.
• To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the 
lens is protected by glass. The glass should be kept clean at all times, 
as any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality of pictures taken.
