following cautions.
*Can be submerged up to a maximum depth of 6.56 ft. (2.0m), for up to
60 minutes.
Before using the camcorder
❖When closing the slot cover and port cover, make sure that no
foreign objects such as sand, hair, dust, etc. are caught in the
rubber seal.
❖Make sure that the slot cover and port cover are completely and
securely closed to prevent water from getting inside the
camcorder and damaging it.
❖Please note that the camcorder accessories are not waterproof.
Cautions concerning use in water
❖The waterproof properties of the camcorder apply to fresh water
and saltwater only; they do not apply to cleaning substances,

immediately wipe off any moisture.
❖Do not immerse in water at a depth greater than 6.56 ft. (2.0m).

Storing and maintaining your camcorder
❖Do not leave the camcorder unwashed after it has been
immersed in salt water or if salt water is adhering to it. Doing so
may cause corrosion and discoloration of the plating, as well as
deterioration of the camcorder’s waterproof capability.
❖After the camcorder has been used in water, use fresh water to
wash it. Never use soap or detergent to clean the camcorder, as
doing so will cause deterioration of the camcorder’s waterproof
capability.
❖After washing the camcorder, take care to completely drain it,
and use a dry cloth to wipe off any drops of water adhering to it.
❖Do not leave the camcorder in an environment colder than 32 °F
(0 °C) or warmer than 104 °F (40 °C), as doing so may cause
deterioration of the camcorder’s waterproof capability.
Other cautions
❖Do not subject the camcorder to severe jolts, as doing so may
deform the slot cover, port cover or the camcorder body, thus
compromising its waterproof capability.
What is “JIS IPX8” (formerly “JIS protection grade8”)?
❖“JIS IPX8” specifies that a device is protected against the effects
of continuous immersion in water for a limited period of time.
Before recording in water
Make sure that the slot cover and the port cover are closed. If a
cover is open, water will get inside the camcorder and damage it.
When closing the slot cover and port cover, make sure that no
foreign object such as sand, hair, dust, etc. is caught in the rubber
