A

Brush (supplied)

B

Side door

If there is any foreign object, such as lint, hair, sand, etc., on the surrounding area, 
water will leak within a few seconds causing malfunction.

Wipe it off with a dry soft cloth if there is any liquid.
It may cause water leaks and malfunction if you use the camera with liquid adhered.

If there is any foreign material, remove with supplied brush.

Be extremely careful to remove the small sand etc. that may adhere to the sides and 
corners of the rubber seal.

Remove large foreign objects, wet sand, etc., using the shorter (harder) side of the 
brush.

2

Check for cracks and deformation of the rubber seal on the side door.

The integrity of the rubber seals may decrease after about 1 year, with use and age. To 
avoid permanently damaging the camera the seals should be replaced once each year. 
Please contact Panasonic’s Service Centre for related costs and other information.

D

[LOCK] switch (grey part)

E

Lock the [LOCK] switch securely until the 
red part is no longer visible.

To prevent water seeping into the camera, 
be careful not to trap foreign objects such 
as liquids, sand, hair or dust etc.

Check before using underwater

Do not open or close the side door in places with sand and dust, close to water, 
or with wet hands. Sand or dust adhering may cause water leaks.
