Before Using the Camera Underwater Check 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 slot cover 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 in the LOCK position. Notes About Operating Temperature, Humidity, and Condensation The 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 the following precautions. • Battery performance deteriorates temporarily when cold. Keep the camera and batteries warm under your clothing before use. • Camera performance may deteriorate temporarily if it is exposed to extreme cold for an extended period. For example, the monitor may appear darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on, or residual images may be produced. ● Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation inside of the camera Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor or lens when there are sharp temperature changes or high humidity, such as in the environmental conditions 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 the cold 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 while in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid places with high temperature, high humidity, sand, or dust). To clear the fogging, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the batterychamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the ambient temperature. xiii Introduction Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof Performance and Condensation
