When the camera has not been used for a long time, confirm that it is still working properly,
particularly prior to taking important pictures (such as at a wedding or when traveling). Contentsof the recording cannot be guaranteed if recording, playback or transferring your data to acomputer, etc. is not possible due to a malfunction of your camera or recording media (microSD
Card), etc.

•

The lens on this camera is not interchangeable. The lens is not removable.

About the Battery and Power Adapter•

Storing the battery fully charged may decrease the battery performance. Avoid storing it
especially in high temperatures.

•

If the battery is left inserted and the camera is not used for a long time, the battery will overdischarge and shorten the battery’s service life.

•

Charging the battery a day before use or on the day of use is recommended.

•

The power adapter supplied with the camera is for exclusive use with this camera. Do not use itwith any other equipment.

Cautions when Carrying and Using the Camera•

The temperature range in which the camera can be used is -10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).

•

The liquid crystal display will become black at high temperatures but will return to normal atnormal temperatures.

•

The response speed of the liquid crystal display becomes slow at low temperatures. This is due

8to the properties of the liquid crystal and is not a malfunction.
•

If the camera is subjected to rapid temperature changes, condensation may form on the insideand outside of the camera. Therefore put the camera in a bag or plastic bag and take thecamera out when the difference in temperature has subsided.

•

10Regarding Waterproof, Dustproof, and Shockproof Design•

This camera is provided with a waterproof/dustproof design complying with JIS waterproof
grade 8 and JIS dustproof grade 6 (equivalent to IP68).

•

The camera satisfies our drop test (2 m height onto a 5 cm thick plywood surface) complying
with MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock testing.

•

The camera satisfies our test for the waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof performance, but
this does not guarantee it will remain free of trouble or damages.

•

Waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is exposed to impact such as being
dropped or hit.

•

Be sure to attach the underwater lens protector O-LP1532 included in the package to thecamera when using the camera in the water. Waterproof performance is guaranteed only when
the camera is equipped with the lens protector.

Precautions Before Using the Camera in the Water

•

Close the battery/card cover properly until it click. Otherwise water may get in and damage thecamera.

Be Careful Near the Water•

Avoid opening the battery/card cover when near the waterside or with wet hands. Wait until thecamera is completely dry before changing the battery or the microSD Card. Avoid changing thebattery or card where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty, and make sure that your hands aredry.

•

The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap and slip the strap overyour wrist when using the camera in or near water.

•

To enhance the waterproof performance of the camera, the front of the lens is protected byglass. As any dirt or water on the glass will affect the quality of pictures taken, the glass should
be kept clean at all times.

Precautions When Using the Camera in the Water•

Do not use the camera deeper than 10 meters underwater. Do not use the camera underwater
for more than 60 minutes consecutively.

•

Do not open the battery/card cover underwater.

•

Do not use in hot water or in a hot spring.

•

Do not apply excessive force to the camera, for example diving into water with it. Doing so may
compromise the waterproof performance of the camera or cause the cover to open.

•

Leaving the camera on the sand at the beach may cause the camera to exceed its operating
temperature or cause the speaker or microphone to become blocked with sand.

•

Avoid subjecting the camera to substantial vibrations, shocks, or pressure as this may cause a12

loss in waterproof performance. If the camera is subjected to substantial vibrations, shocks orpressure, take your camera to your nearest service center and have it checked.
•

Avoid getting sunscreen or sun oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration of the surface. If
any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm water.

•

Sudden and extreme changes in temperature may cause condensation to form in and on thecamera. Keep the camera in a bag or case to reduce the difference in temperature.

Precautions After Using the Camera in the Water•

Do not open the battery/card cover if the camera is wet. Wipe off any water with a clean lint-free
cloth.

•The inside surface of the cover may get wet when it is opened. Wipe off any water that is on the
cover.

•

Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface of the camera.
Make sure that the battery/card cover is firmly closed before washing the camera in tap water.
After washing the camera, dry it with a soft cloth.
