About the Camera’s Weatherproof & Rugged Design

This camera is designed to be weatherproof and rugged. Special seals keep out

moisture for a sure, carefree performance in any weather. While you cannot use

the camera underwater, ideally it can safely be used:

qin the rain

qat pool-side or the beach

qat a construction site or areas with excessive dirt or dust.

Important Camera Information

This camera is designed to be weatherproof, not waterproof. It is not designed to

be submerged in water, or have water poured over it. Please read the following

cautions before usingit. Failure to follow the proper precautions may result in the

warranty being voided.

qThe camera doors and buttons have rubber seals that prevent water,

moisture, and dust from entering the camera. If the battery, memory card

door, and lens cover are not fastened or closed correctly, damage to the

camera can result. Also, while these doors are open, make sure that no

water or dust gets inside the camera or onto the weatherproof seals.

qTo ensure a proper seal, use a clean lint-free cloth to wipe off any dust,

sand, or hair that may accumulate on the rubber seals of the doors and lens

glass cover. Dust or sand on the seals may cause water leakage and may

damage the seals.

qDo not press down on or remove any of the rubber seals.

qWhen you find a damaged or deteriorated rubber seal, call the technical

support telephone number for your geographic area. Do not attempt to

change or fix the seal.

qIf the camera is not used for a period of time, it is normal to expect that

the button or switch may not move smoothly. Push the buttons and

switches several times to smooth out the motion.

qDo not leave the camera exposed to rain or snow for extended periods

of time.

qUse a clean lint-free cloth to wipe off any water or dirt after use, or before

opening any of the doors or covers on the camera.

qWeatherproofing may be affected when the camera is exposed to sudden

changes in temperature. Allow the camera time to adjust to the

surrounding temperature before using it. This keeps moisture leaks or

condensation from occurring.

qAlways insert and remove the batteries and memory cards with dry, clean

hands.

qIf water gets into the camera, remove the batteries and lens glass cover

and allow the camera to dry completely. Do not apply power to the

camera until it is completely dry.

qBefore using the camera, make sure the lens cover is secured and that all

sensors and lenses are clean and dry.

qAlthough the camera can be used at the beach, use extreme caution not to

get sand on the camera seals.
