Notes before using the camcorder under/near water
Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the battery/memory card/jack
cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead to water entering the camcorder.
Confirm that the sealing gasket and its mating surfaces have not become scratched. Even a small
scratch may lead to water entering the camcorder. If the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces
become scratched, take the camcorder to an authorized repair shop to have the sealing gasket
replaced for a fee.
Sealing gasket
The sealing surfaces of the sealing gasket
If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket or its mating surfaces, wipe the area clean with a soft cloth
that will not leave behind any fibers. Prevent the sealing gasket from becoming scratched by touching
it while charging a battery or using a cable.
Do not open/close the battery/memory card/jack cover with wet or sandy hands or near water. There
is a risk this will lead to sand or water getting inside. Before opening the cover, perform the procedure
described in “Cleaning after using the camcorder under/near water”.
Open the battery/memory card/jack cover with the camcorder completely dry.
Always confirm that the battery/memory card/jack cover has been securely locked.
