1. Keep the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover closed and wash
off the camera with fresh water.
Immerse the camera in a shallow
basin filled with fresh water (such as
tap water and well-water that do
not contain salt) for 10 minutes.
•
If the buttons or switches do not
operate properly, foreign
substances may have adhered.
Since this could cause a
malfunction, immerse the camera
in fresh water and shake it
sufficiently in the water to remove the any foreign substances from the
camera.
•
When the camera is immersed in the water, a few air bubbles may come
out from the water drain holes of the camera such as openings in the
microphone or speakers. This is not a malfunction.
2. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry the camera in the
well-ventilated and shady place.
•
Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it.
Water will flow out from openings in the microphone or speakers.
•
Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer.
•
Do not use chemicals (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser), soap,
or neutral detergents.
If the waterproof packing or body of the camera becomes deformed, the
waterproof performance will deteriorate.
3. After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera,
open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and gently wipe
off any water or sand remaining inside the camera with a dry soft
cloth.
•
If you open the cover before the camera is thoroughly dried, water droplets
may fall on a memory card or battery.
The water droplets may also seep inside the battery-chamber/memory
card slot cover (in locations such as waterproof packing, hinges, memory
card slot, or terminals).
If that happens, wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.
•
If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation
or malfunction.
•
If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets,
the sound may deteriorate or become distorted.
-
Wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.
-
Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp
implement. If the inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof
performance will deteriorate.
