Preparation

(Important) About the Waterproof/

Dustproof

Waterproof/Dustproof Performance

This unit’s waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the “IP58” rating. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are strictly followed, this unit can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 1.5 m for a time not exceeding

30 minutes. *

This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.

* This means that this unit can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.

∫ Handling of this unit

≥ Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or dropped etc. If an impact to this unit occurs, it should be inspected (subject to a fee) by a

Panasonic’s Service Centre to verify that the waterproofing is still effective.

≥ The waterproof performance may be degraded due to the strong water pressure when this unit is used deeper than 1.5 m underwater.

≥ When this unit is splashed with detergent, soap, hot spring, bath additive, sun oil, sun screen, chemical, etc., wipe it off immediately.

≥ Do not rinse with running water, such as tap water.

≥ Waterproof function of this unit is for sea water and fresh water only.

≥ Any malfunction caused by customer misuse, or mishandling will not be covered by the warranty.

≥ Cards are not waterproof. Do not handle with a wet hand. Also, do not insert wet card into this unit.

≥ Do not open or close the side cover when your hands are wet or water droplets are present on this unit. Failure to do so may lead to damage such as rusty terminals caused by water droplets.

≥ Foreign objects may adhere to the inner side of the side cover (around the rubber seal or

connecting terminals) when the side cover is opened or closed in places with sand or dust etc. If you close the side cover with foreign objects adhering to it, water may enter the inside. Be very careful because doing so may cause malfunctions.

≥ Do not leave this unit for a long period of time in places where temperature is very low (at high altitude etc.) or very high (inside a car under strong sunlight, close to a heater, on the beach, etc.)

Waterproof performance may be degraded.

≥ The inside of this unit is not waterproof. Water leakage will cause malfunction.

≥ If any foreign object has adhered to the inner side of the side cover, remove it.

≥ If any liquid such as water droplets has adhered to this unit or inner side of the side cover,

wipe off with a soft dry cloth. Do not open or close the side cover near the water, when underwater, using wet hands, or when this unit is wet. It may cause water leakage.

≥ The alert sound and shutter sound may be lowered when using this unit. This is for ensuring the waterproof performance of this unit, and not a malfunction. Opening and closing the side cover will restore the original volume.

- 3 -


∫ When inner side of the lens is fogged (condensation)

Condensation may form and the inner side of the lens may steam up if this unit undergoes a significant change in temperature or humidity, such as when this unit is moved from a cold place like a high-altitude location to a warm place.

It is not a malfunction or failure of this unit. It may be caused by the environment in which this unit is used.

≥ Be careful of condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and unit malfunction.

What to do when inner side of the lens is fogged

≥ Turn off this unit and open the side cover in a place with constant ambient temperature, away from high temperatures, humidity, sand and dust. The fog will disappear naturally in about 2 hours with the side cover open when the temperature of this unit gets close to the ambient temperature.

≥ Contact Panasonic’s Service Centre if the fogging does not disappear.

Check before using underwater

Do not open or close the side cover in places with sand and dust, close to water, or with wet hands. Sand or dust adhering may cause water leaks.

1 Open the side cover.

2 Check that there are no foreign objects on the inner side of the side cover.

≥ If there are any foreign objects, such as lint, hair, sand, etc., on the surrounding area, water will leak within a few seconds causing malfunction.

3 If there is foreign matter adhering to the unit, remove it.

≥ Be extremely careful to remove any sand etc. that may adhere to the sides and corners of the rubber seal.

≥ Wipe it off with a dry soft cloth if there is any liquid. It may cause water leaks and malfunction if you use this unit with liquid adhered.

4 Check for cracks and deformation of the rubber seal on the side cover.

≥ The integrity of the rubber seals may decrease after about 1 year, with use and age. To avoid permanently damaging this unit the seals should be replaced once every two years. Please contact Panasonic’s Service Centre for related costs and other information.

Caring for this unit after using it underwater

Do not open or close the side cover until the sand and dust is removed by rinsing the camera with water.

Make sure to clean the camera after using it.

≥ Thoroughly wipe off any water droplets, sand, and saline matter on your hands, body, hair, etc.

≥ It is recommended to clean the camera indoors, avoiding places where water spray or sand may fall.

Do not leave this unit uncared for longer than 60 minutes after using it underwater.

≥ Leaving this unit with foreign objects or saline matter on it may cause damage, discolouration, corrosion, unusual odour, or deterioration of the waterproof performance.

1 Rinse with water with the side cover closed.

≥ After use at the seaside or underwater, soak the unit in fresh water pooled in a shallow container for about 10 minutes.

2 Drain water by holding this unit and shaking it lightly a few times.

≥ After using this unit at the seaside or underwater, or after washing it, water will remain at the speaker site or mic site of this unit for a while and it may cause lower sound or sound distortion.

≥ Pay careful attention to prevent this unit from dropping.

3 Wipe off water drops on this unit with a soft, dry cloth and dry this unit in a shaded area that is well ventilated.

≥ Dry this unit approx. 1 hour or more.

≥ Dry this unit on a dry cloth.
