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
implement to prevent the sealing gasket and
its mating surfaces from becoming scratched.
