Special Features and Important Information
• Wash sunscreen or suntan oil off the
camera immediately with warm water if you
accidentally spill or apply any. The oils may
discolor the camera.
• Should you subject the camera to substantial
vibration, shock or pressure, it may be less
resistant to water. Contact the store where you
purchased the camera, or our Repair Service.
What You Should Remember After Using the Camera
• Be sure to wipe any dirt or sand off the
waterproof sealing material or its contacting
surface. Dirt or sand may scratch the material
or the surface, making the camera less resistant
to water.
• To wash sand, dirt or dust off the camera, rinse
it under running tap water or soak it in a bowl
of fresh water for 2 or 3 minutes.
• Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents,
alcohol or similar liquids to clean the camera.
They may make the camera less resistant to
water.
• After using the camera, wipe any water or
dirt off the camera with a dry cloth, close the
battery-chamber cover securely, and then soak
the camera in fresh water for 10 minutes. Next,
dry the camera completely.
Storage and Care
• Do not leave the camera in a location where
the temperature is 40°C (104°F) or higher, or 0°C
(32°F) or lower.
• The waterproof sealing material is replaceable
at cost. The material should be replaced once a
year to maintain the camera’s water resistance.
For details, contact the store where you
purchased the camera, or our Repair Service.

Using the Camera in Cold Climates
When the camera is used in cold climates,
battery performance and the number of pictures
that can be taken are temporarily reduced. We
recommend keeping the camera in a thermal
case or inside clothing when using it in cold
climates.
• Use the included NP-45A battery.
• The speed with which the monitor displays
information is reduces in low temperatures. This
is a characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and
is not a malfunction.
