Notes before using the camera under/near water
About the battery cover and memory card/connector cover
Make sure that no foreign matter such as sand, hair, or dirt gets inside the battery cover or memory
card/connector cover. Even a small amount of foreign matter may lead to water entering the camera.
Always confirm that the battery cover or memory card/connector cover has been securely locked. The water-
proof/dust-proof performance is not ensured when the battery cover or memory card/connector cover is open.
When you open or close the battery cover or memory card/connector cover, ensure that the camera is completely
dry.
Do not open/close the battery cover or memory card/connector cover with wet or sandy hands or under/near
water. There is a risk this will lead to sand or water getting inside. Before opening the cover, perform the
procedure described in
About the sealing gaskets and surfaces in contact with the sealing gaskets
