About water-proof, dust-proof, and
shock-proof performance of the camera
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 3 m for 60 minutes.
• Do not directly subject the camera to flowing water such as tap water.
• Do not use in hot springs.
• Use the camera in the recommended operating water temperature range of
–10°C to +40°C (14°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.
Notes before using the camera under/near water
• Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the
battery/memory card cover or 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. Do not use a sharp-pointed

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
• Open the cover with the camera completely dry.
• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover and multi-connector
cover have been securely locked.
Notes on using the camera under/near water
• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.
• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover or multi-connector
cover while under/near water.
• Use a separately available housing (Marine Pack) if going more than
3 meters under water.
• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand through the wrist strap to
prevent the camera from sinking.
• Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to
reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.
• Select
(Underwater) in Scene Selection to shoot underwater with less
distortion.
• If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will be
unable to record clear images.
Cleaning after using the camera under/near
water
• Always clean the camera with water after use
within 60 minutes, and do not open the battery/
memory card cover before cleaning is finished.
Sand or water may get inside places where it
cannot be seen. If not rinsed, water-proof
performance will be degraded.
• Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured into a cleaning bowl for more
than 5 minutes. Then, gently shake the camera, press each button, slide the
zoom (W/T) lever or the lens cover inside the water, to clean away any salt,
sand or other matter lodged around the buttons or the lens cover.
• After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to
dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry
with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded water-
proof performance.
• This camera is constructed to drain water. Water will drain from openings
around the ON/OFF (Power) button, zoom (W/T) lever, and other controls.
After removing from water, place the camera on a dry cloth for a while to
allow water to drain.

Internal memory and memory card back up
Do not turn off the camera, remove the battery pack, or remove the memory
card while the access lamp is lit. Otherwise, the internal memory data or the
memory card may be damaged. Be sure to make a backup copy to protect your
data.
On database files
When you insert a memory card without a database file into the camera and
turn on the power, part of the memory card capacity is used to automatically
create a database file. It may take some time until you can perform the next
operation.
Notes on recording/playback
• To ensure stable operations of the memory card, we recommend that you use
this camera to format any memory card being used with this camera for the
first time. Note that formatting will erase all data recorded on the memory
card. This data cannot be restored. Be sure to back-up any important data to a
PC or other storage location.
• Before you start recording, make a trial recording to make sure that the
camera is working correctly.
• Do not aim the camera at the sun or other bright light. It may cause the
malfunction of the camera.
• Do not use the camera near a location that generates strong radio waves or
emits radiation. Otherwise, the camera may not properly record or play back

• Do not shake or strike the camera. It may cause a malfunction and you may
not be able to record images. Furthermore, the recording media may become
unusable or image data may be damaged.
• Clean the flash surface before use. The heat of flash emission may cause dirt
on the flash surface to become discolored or to stick to the flash surface,
resulting in insufficient light emission.
