Cleaning Your Camera after Use
Perform the following steps to clean the camera after using it under water or after it
becomes soiled with sand, dirt, or mud. Note that the battery cover and memory card/
terminal cover must be closed securely when performing these steps.
1.
Immerse the camera in fresh water.
• Fill a bucket or other container with tap water or other fresh
water, and immerse the camera for about 10 minutes.
Gently wipe dust, dirt, sand, and other matter from the
camera with your fingers.
• Do not rub the lens surface, monitor screen, or flash
window while dirty.
2.
Wipe the camera dry.
• Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe off the camera, and leave it in a shady place
to dry.
IMPORTANT!
• The temperature of the water used to wash the camera should be no greater than
30 °C . Never use detergent, hot water, or strongly running water to clean the
camera. Doing so creates the risk of leaking and malfunction.
• Never swing the camera around to remove water, and never use a dryer or other
intense heat to dry it.
• Never place the camera in a washing machine to wash it.
.
Precautions after Use
• Do not leave the camera in an area exposed to extreme heat (40 °C or greater) or
cold ( – 10 °C or lower). Doing so can cause loss of waterproofing.
• Never use chemical agents for the purpose of cleaning, rust proofing, moisture
proofing, etc. Doing so can cause loss of waterproofing.
• Use fresh water to clean the camera within 60 minutes after using it underwater.
Failure to do so can cause deterioration of the exterior finish and waterproofing
properties.
• In order to maintain waterproofing, replacement of the camera’s gaskets is
recommended once each year. Note that you will be charged for gasket
replacement. Contact a CASIO authorized service center or your original retailer
for gasket replacement.
