Watertightness
• The camera is watertight to a maximum depth of 3 metres (IPX8). Do not
use the camera underwater for longer than 60 minutes to ensure that it
remains watertight.
• The supplied accessories are not watertight. The camcorder is not dust-
tight.
• This camcorder is only watertight when immersed in fresh or salt water;
this does not apply to cleaning agents, chemicals or pool water etc., and
such liquids must be wiped from the device immediately.
• The watertight sealing material can be replaced (subject to charge). To
ensure effective watertightness, the sealing material should be replaced
annually.
• It is essential to read the safety information in the section "Diving with the
camcorder".
2.6 Operational safety
• Always read and observe the instructions and information in the documen-
tation supplied with your TV or computer before connecting the camcor-
der.
• If the camcorder is exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations, conden-
sation can lead to the accumulation of moisture which can cause a short
circuit. In this case wait until the device has reached ambient temperature
before use.
• Never place any burning objects such as candles or any objects contain-
ing liquids such as vases, cups or glasses next to the camcorder.
• Keep the camcorder away from high-frequency and magnetic interference
sources (e.g. TVs, mobile phones, loudspeakers) to prevent malfunctions.
• Never open the battery compartment while recording movies or photos, as
saved image data could be corrupted as a result.
