Notes on using the camcorder under/near water

  • The touch panel may be activated by water splashes on the screen icons.

  • The touch panel cannot be operated underwater. Use the buttons of the camcorder to perform shooting operations.

  • Do not subject the camcorder to shock such as from jumping into water.

  • Do not open and close the battery/memory card/jack cover while under/near water.

  • This camcorder sinks in water. Place your hand through the Wrist strap to prevent the camcorder from sinking.

  • Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.

  • Select (Underwater) in Scene Selection to shoot underwater with less distortion.

  • If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will not be able to record clear images.
