After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft
cloth. Allow the camcorder to dry completely
in a shady location with good ventilation. Do
not blow dry with a hair dryer as there is a risk
of deformation and/or degraded water-proof
performance.
Wipe away water drops or dust on the battery/
memory card/jack cover with a soft dry cloth.
This camcorder is constructed to drain water.
Water will drain from openings around the
zoom buttons, etc. After removing from water,
place the camcorder on a dry cloth for a while
to allow water to drain.
Bubbles may appear when the camcorder is
placed under water. This is not a malfunction.
The camcorder body may become discolored
if it comes in contact with sunscreen or suntan
oil. If the camcorder does come in contact with
sunscreen or suntan oil, quickly wipe it clean.
Do not allow the camcorder to sit with salt
water inside or on the surface. This may lead to
corrosion or discoloration, and degradation of
water-proof performance.
Iron sands may adhere to the frame around
the LCD screen. If iron sands adhere to the
camcorder, gently wipe them off with a soft
cloth so that you will not scrape the camcorder
case or the LCD screen.
To maintain the water-proof performance,
we recommend that once a year you take the
camcorder to your dealer, or to an authorized
repair shop, to have the sealing gasket of the
battery/memory card/jack cover replaced for
a fee.
