upside down and shaking it lightly a 
few times.

After using the camera at the seaside or 
under water, or after washing it, water 
will remain at the speaker site of the 
camera for a while and it may cause 
lower sound or sound distortion.
• Fasten the strap firmly to prevent the 
camera from dropping.
3 Wipe off water drops on the camera 
with a dry soft cloth and dry the 
camera in a shaded area which is 
well ventilated.
•
Dry the camera by standing it on a dry 
cloth. This unit incorporates drain 
design, draining water in gaps in the 
camera [OFF/ON] button and zoom button etc.
• 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, alcohol, or cleanser, or 
soap or detergents.
4 Confirm that there are no water droplets, open the side door, and 
wipe off any water droplets or sand left inside using a soft dry 
cloth.
•
Water droplets may adhere to the card or battery when the side door is 
opened without thoroughly drying. Also, water may accumulate in the gap 
around the card/battery compartment or the terminal connector. Be sure to 
wipe any water off with a soft dry cloth.
• The water droplets may seep into the camera when the side door is closed 
while it is still wet, causing condensation or failure.
