Keep batteries away from children. Seek medical attention
immediately if a battery is swallowed.
CAUTION! Never try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
Danger of explosion!
ATTENTION!There is a risk of explosion if batteries are
incorrectly replaced. Always replace the batteries with an
equivalent type.
Before inserting the batteries, check that the contacts in the
device and on the batteries are clean and, if necessary, clean
them.
Please note the polarity (+/–) when inserting the batteries.
Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Direct intense heat can
damage the batteries. Therefore do not expose the device to
any sources of direct heat.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes. If these
areas come into contact with battery acid, rinse them
immediately with plenty of clean water and contact a doctor
immediately.

Precautionary measures
Please note the following precautionary measures to avoid damage
to your camera and to keep it in good condition.
Keep away from salt and dust
If you have been using the camera on the beach or at the
seaside, wipe off salt and dust with a light, damp cloth.
Carefully dry the camera afterwards.
Keep the device away from strong magnetic fields.
Never place the camera too close to appliances which generate
strong electromagnetic fields, such as electric motors. Strong
electromagnetic fields may result in camera malfunctions or
corrupt data recordings.
Avoid excessive heat
Do not use or store the camera in sunlight or at high
temperatures. This can cause the battery to leak or the case to
become misshapen.
Avoid extreme variations in temperature.
If you suddenly take the camera out of a cold environment into
a warm one or vice versa, condensation can form outside and
inside it which can result in malfunctions and damage to the
camera. Wait until the camera temperature has raised to match
the ambient temperature before starting to use the camera.
You can provide some protection against varying temperatures
by using a bag or a plastic case.
Do not drop the camera
Jarring or vibrations resulting from a fall can cause
malfunctions. Loop the strap round your wrist when you carry
the camera.
Do not remove batteries when data are being processed
When image data is being recorded to memory cards or
deleted, switching off the power supply can result in data loss
or damage the internal circuitry or memory.

Treat lens and all moving parts carefully
Do not touch the lens or the lens barrel. Take care when
handling the memory card and the battery. These parts are not
designed for high levels of stress.
Batteries
At low temperatures, there can be a sharp drop in battery
capacity.
Memory cards
Switch the power supply off before you insert or remove the
memory card. Otherwise the memory card may become
unstable. Memory cards may warm up during use. Always
remove the memory cards from the camera carefully.
Underwater operation
The camera is suitable for underwater operation up to a
maximum depth of 3 metres. Please make sure that you do not
dive deeper than 3 metres.
Water resistance
The camera is water resistant to a depth of 3 metres.
The camera should only be used for a maximum of 60 minutes
under water.
The accessories supplied are not water resistant.
Important notes before diving:
Avoid the following actions in sandy/dusty environments or
when near to water.
Check the area around the battery compartment.
Remove any dirt, sand or other particles with a dry cloth.
Ensure that the battery compartment does not display any
scratches or cracks.

9
Ensure that the camera does not have any cracks.
At low temperatures the capacity of the battery can
be drastically reduced due to the slowing down of the
chemical reactions. When recording in cold weather
keep a second battery pack in reserve in a warm place
(e.g. trouser pocket).
This symbol on the camera certifies that the device
complies with EU guidelines on electromagnetic
interference. CE stands for Conformité Européenne
