• The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not
a malfunction.
Using the Battery When Cold
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted
battery is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare
batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold
battery may recover some of its charge.
Recycling Used Batteries
Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a
valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
Cleaning After Using the Camera Underwater

condensation or a malfunction.
Cleaning After Using the Camera in Conditions Other than Underwater
Use a blower to remove any dust or lint that adheres to the lens, monitor or
camera body. To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed
with a blower, gently wipe the parts with a soft dry cloth. If you wipe with too
much pressure or with a rough cloth, it may damage the camera or cause a
malfunction.
