Appendices
Waterproofing
• This camera conforms to the specifications for JIS protection grade 7, IEC
IP67.
• 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 camera, take care to prevent water droplets
or contaminants adhering to the camera from getting inside. 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.
• When opening and closing the battery/card cover or terminal cover, operate
them with bare hands, without wearing work gloves. If the camera has
contaminants (such as water, sand, or mud) adhering to it, make sure they
are completely removed, and then open and close the camera 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 airtight structure, variations in atmospheric pressure may
make the battery/card cover or terminal cover hard to open.
• 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.
• Before connecting the AC adaptor (optional), make sure the camera is off.
• Do not force the battery/card cover or terminal cover.
• Do not lift the camera by the battery/card cover or terminal cover.
• If water droplets get inside the camera, immediately stop using it. Turn the
power off, remove the batteries, and leave all the covers and lids open. Do
not use the camera with water droplets inside. Consult the dealer or the
Ricoh Repair Center.
