xiIntroduction Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and DustproofPerformance and CondensationBefore Using the Camera UnderwaterCheck the items below before using the camera underwater.• Make sure that there are no foreign substances inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.• Make sure that the waterproof packing of the battery-chamber/memory card slotcover is not cracked or deformed.- Make sure that the waterproof packing is not detached from the camera.• Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed.- Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover security lock is inthe LOCK position.Notes About Operating Temperature, Humidity, andCondensationThe operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from –10°C to +40°C(14°F to 104°F).When you use the camera in cold climate regions or at high altitudes, observe thefollowing precautions.• Battery performance deteriorates temporarily when cold. Keep the camera andbatteries warm under your clothing before use.• Camera performance may deteriorate temporarily if it is exposed to extreme coldfor an extended period. For example, the monitor may appear darker than normalimmediately after the camera is turned on, or residual images may be produced.● Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation inside ofthe cameraFogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor or lens when thereare sharp temperature changes or high humidity, such as in the environmentalconditions described below. This is not a camera malfunction or defect.• The camera is suddenly immersed in cold water after being in a hot place on land.• The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building after being in thecold outdoors.• The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a high-humidity environment.● Clearing the fogging• Turn off the camera and open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover whilein a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid places with hightemperature, high humidity, sand, or dust).To clear the fogging, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to theambient temperature.
