Page 117: Precautions For Use
Precautions for Use Waterproof and Dustproof Function • The camera complies with JIS/IEC waterproof grade 8 and JIS/IEC dustproof grade 6 (IP68). • After shooting in the rain or washing with water, water may leak out from the lens barrel or the tripod screw hole on the bottom of the camera. However, this is not problematic because the camera is protected with the double-layered structure.
Page 118 • When carrying the camera, be careful that it does not strike other objects. Particular care is required to protect the lens and monitor. • The flash may overheat if fired many times in succession. Do not use the flash succes- sively more than necessary.
Page 119 • Do not allow other metallic objects to come in contact with the connectors, or con- tacts of the rechargeable battery as this can result in a short. • The operating temperature range is 10 to 40°C (50 to 104°F). Charging takes longer at temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Page 121 Replacement of Rubber Packings • Replace the rubber packing with a new one every two years even if it is not dirty and there is no problem with it, to maintain the waterproof function. When the camera is frequently used in water, in a sandy area, or in a dusty room, it is recommended to replace it every year.
