1. Before Use Care of the camera ∫ Handling of the camera (to prevent water leakage and malfunction) • Foreign objects may adhere to the inner side of the side door (around the rubber seal or connecting terminals) when the side door is opened or closed in places with sand or dust, etc. This may result in the impairment of the waterproof performance if the side door is closed with foreign objects adhered. Be extremely careful since it may result in malfunction, etc.
1. Before Use ∫ When inner side of the lens, viewfinder or monitor is fogged (condensation) It is not a malfunction or failure of the camera. It may be caused by the environment in which the camera is used. What to do when inner side is fogged • Turn off the camera and open the side door in a place with constant ambient temperature, away from high temperatures, humidity, sand and dust.
1. Before Use (Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance of the Camera Waterproof/Dustproof Performance This camera’s waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the “IPX8” and “IP6X” ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are strictly followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 31 m (102 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes. (¢1) Anti-shock Performance This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.
1. Before Use ∫ Handling of the camera • Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or dropped etc. If an impact to the camera occurs, it should be inspected (subject to a fee) by Panasonic to verify that the waterproofing is still effective. • Using the camera in environments where splashing with hot spring water, oil or alcohol is likely to occur may cause the water/dust resistance and impact resistance of the camera to deteriorate.
1. Before Use Check before using underwater Always wipe the rubber seal on the side door and the area where rubber seal sits with a dry, lint-free cloth. 1 Check that there are no foreign objects on the inner side of the 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 soft, dry cloth if there is any liquid.
1. Before Use Using the camera underwater • Use the camera underwater to 31 m (102 feet) with the water temperature between 0 oC and 40 oC (32 oF and 104 oF). • Do not use the camera at a depth of over 31 m (102 feet). • Do not use it in the hot water over 40 oC (104 oF) (in the bath or hot spring). • Do not use the camera underwater for longer than 60 minutes continuously. • Do not open or close the side door underwater. • Do not apply shock to the camera underwater.
1. Before Use Caring of the camera after using it underwater Do not open or close the side door until the sand and dust is removed by rinsing the camera with water. Make sure to clean the camera after using it. • Thoroughly wipe off any water droplets, sand, and saline matter on your hands, body, hair, etc. • It is recommended to clean the camera indoors, avoiding places where water spray or sand may fall. After using it underwater, always clean the camera rather than leaving it in a dirty state.
1. Before Use 2 Tap the camera lightly against your palm while holding it upside down and then with the illustrated side facing down, and then wipe off the water droplets with a soft, dry cloth. • Repeat this step a few times if water is left in the microphone A or speaker B hole.
