Cautions on Use
Waterproofing
• This camera conforms to the specifications for JIS/IEC waterproof grade 8
and JIS/IEC dustproof grade 6 (IP68).
• After shooting in the rain or cleaning in water, water may seep through the
eyepiece of the lens segment and the tripod screw holes on the underside.
This is not a problem because these sections are of double structure.
• The internal mechanisms of the camera are neither waterproof nor dustproof.
• Should water enter the inside of the camera, remove the batteries
immediately and contact the Ricoh Repair Center.
Cautions on Use
• When opening and closing the battery/card cover or terminal cover, take
care to prevent any water, sand, mud, dust, or other foreign matter that may
have adhered to the camera from entering the interior of device. If possible,
avoid opening or closing the camera at the beach, near the sea, or in sandy
soil to prevent seawater or sand from getting inside.
• Open and close the battery/card cover or terminal cover with your bare
hands. Do not wear gloves, as any sand, dust, or other foreign matter that
may have adhered to the gloves may get inside the camera. Remove any
water, sand, mud, dust, or other foreign matter that may have adhered to
the camera and open and close the covers in a place where it will not be
exposed to dirt.
• Water droplets may get inside when the cover is opened. Wipe dry before
using.
• Because of its waterproof structure, the mode dial may be hard to turn
when it has not been operated for a long time. If this occurs, operate the dial
several times to restore it to the initial state.
• On a sandy beach or in a dusty place such as a construction site, pay
sufficient attention to prevent sand or dust from adhering to the camera.
• Do not leave the camera in places where there are extremes of temperature
or humidity, such as in a closed car, at the seashore, or in a bathroom.
• Do not force the battery/card cover or terminal cover.
• Do not lift the camera by the battery/card cover or terminal cover.
• If any foreign object (metal, water, liquid) gets inside the camera, stop
using the camera immediately. Turn the power off, remove the battery and
memory card, and consult your nearest dealer or Ricoh Repair Center.
• In cold climates, if the camera has water droplets adhering to its surface, they
may freeze. Using the camera with ice on it may cause it to fail. Do not leave
the camera with water adhering to it.
• This product was manufactured for use in the country in which it was purchased.
The warranty is only valid in the country in which the camera was purchased.
