loss or damage of recorded content due to a 
malfunction of the camera or recording media, etc.

• The images used as examples in this handbook 

are reproduced images, and are not actual 
images shot using the camera.

• Design and specifications are subject to change 

without notice.

The camera is compatible with MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264 Main Profile. Therefore, you cannot play 
back images on the camera with the devices which 
are not compatible with the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264.

This camera is equipped to be water-proof, dust-
proof and shock-proof. Damage caused from 
misuse, abuse or failure to properly maintain the 
camera is not covered by the limited warranty.
This camera is water-proof/dust-proof equivalent 
to IEC60529 IP58. The camera is operable up to a 
water depth of 5 m for 60 minutes.
• Do not subject the camera to pressurized water, 

such as from a tap.

• Do not use in hot springs.
• Use the camera in the recommended operating 

water temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 
104°F).

• Conforming to MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-

Shock standards, this product has passed testing 
when dropped from a height of 1.5 m above a 5-
cm thick plywood board*.

* Depending on use conditions and circumstances, 

no guarantee is made regarding damage to, 
malfunction of, or the water-proof performance 
of this camera.

• As for dust-proof/shock-proof performance, 

there is no guarantee that the camera will not 
become scratched or dented.

• Sometimes water-proof performance is lost if 

the camera is subjected to a strong shock such as 
from being dropped. We recommend the camera 
be inspected at an authorized repair shop for a 
fee.

• Accessories supplied do not meet water-proof, 

dust-proof, and shock-proof specifications.

• Read “Precautions” (page 67) before operating 

the camera.

• If you attach the camera to a tripod with a screw 

over 5.5 mm in length, a hole may result in the 
camera body, and cause water to enter the 
camera.

• Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, 

hair, or dirt gets inside the multi-connector 
cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter 
may lead to water entering the camera.

• Confirm that the sealing gasket and its mating 

surfaces have not become scratched. Even a 
small scratch may lead to water entering the 
camera. If the sealing gasket or its mating 
surfaces become scratched, take the camera to 
an authorized repair shop to have the sealing 
gasket replaced for a fee.

• If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket or its 

mating surfaces, wipe the area clean with a soft 
cloth that will not leave behind any fibers. Be 
careful not to damage the sealing gasket or 
mating surfaces when cables are connected.

• Do not open/close the multi-connector cover 

with wet or sandy hands or near water. There is 
a risk this will lead to sand or water getting 
inside. Before opening the cover, perform the 
procedure described in “Cleaning after using the 
camera under/near water”.

• Open the multi-connector cover with the camera 

completely dry.

• Fully close the cover until the yellow mark 

under the slide lock can no longer be seen.

• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from 

jumping into water.

• Do not open and close the multi-connector cover 

while under/near water.

• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand 

through the wrist strap to prevent the camera 
from sinking.
