Before Use
∫ Using the camera underwater
•
Use the camera underwater up to 3 m (10 feet) depth, water temperature from 0 oC to 40 oC,
and not longer than 60 minutes continuously.
• If there is a water or dirt on the camera, use it after wiping it off with a dry soft cloth and dried at
well ventilated area.
• Do not open or close the card/battery door or terminal cover.
• Do not apply shock to the camera underwater. (Waterproof performance may not be
maintained, and there is a chance of water leak.)
• Do not dive into the water holding the camera. Do not use the camera at the location where the
water will splash strongly, such as rapid flow or waterfall. (Strong water pressure may be
applied, and it may cause malfunction)
• The camera will sink in the water. Take care not to drop the camera and lose it underwater by
securely placing the hand strap around your wrist or similar measure.
• Do not use it in the hot water over 40 oC (in the bath or hot spring).
• When the camera is splashed with detergent, soap, hot spring, bath additive, sun oil, sun
screen, chemical, etc., wipe it off immediately.
• Card and battery are not waterproof. Do not handle with a wet hand. Also, do not insert wet
card or battery into the camera.
∫ Caring of the camera after using it underwater
∫ Replacing the waterproof seal
•
The integrity of the waterproof seals may decrease after about 1 year, with use and age. To
avoid permanently damaging the camera the seals should be replaced once each year. Please
contact Panasonic’s Service Centre for related costs and other information.
• Wipe off the water and dirt on the camera with a
dry soft cloth.
• There may be some water on the inside of the
card/battery door or the terminal cover. Make sure
to wipe it off if there is any water.
• Do not leave the camera uncared for more than
60 minutes after using it underwater. It may cause
deterioration of the waterproof performance.
• After use at the seaside or under water, make sure
that the card/battery door and terminal cover are
firmly closed and soak the unit in fresh water pooled in a shallow container for 10 minutes or
less.
• If the zoom lever or mode dial does not move smoothly, it may be caused by an adhesion of
foreign objects. It may cause malfunctions, such as locking up, so wash off any foreign objects
on the zoom lever or mode dial by shaking the camera in fresh water. Confirm that the zoom
lever and mode dial moves smoothly after cleaning.
• This unit incorporates drain design, draining water in gaps in the power button and zoom lever
etc. As a result of this, bubbles may come out when you soak the unit in water, but it is not a
malfunction. Make sure that water is completely drained from the unit after soaking in water by
standing the unit on a dry cloth for a while.
• Do not dry the camera with hot air from dryer or similar. Waterproof performance will deteriorate
due to deformation.
• Do not use chemicals, such as benzine, thinner, or alcohol, soap, detergents.
• After soaking or washing the unit, wipe off water drops with a dry soft cloth and dry the unit in a
shaded area which is well ventilated.
