* Available video clip recording time is shown when a re-formatted card is inserted.
* Photo capacities and recording times are approximations only and may vary according to the type and manufacturer of the memory card, the subject, and the shooting conditions.
* When the continuous recording time reaches approximately 13 hr. for audio—or approx. 5 hr. 30 min. when the video quality mode is set to [Web-SHQ], or approx. 7 hr. when the video quality mode is set to [Web-HQ]—the file will be saved, and subsequent data will be saved in a new file. When the recording file size exceeds 4 GB with a video mode quality setting other than [Web-SHQ] or [Web-HQ], the file will be saved, and subsequent data will be saved in a new file. (A new file is automatically created every 4 GB. Although recording will continue until stopped by the user, there is a brief period while files are being saved during which recording of video clips and sound will stop.)

Important Notice
Concerning This Camera’s Waterproof Design
Although this camera is waterproof as defined by the JIS Protection Grade 8 standards, warranty coverage does not include any malfunctions or problems caused by failure to heed the following precautions:
  • The waterproof properties of the camera apply to fresh water and saltwater only; they do not apply to cleaning substances, chemicals or water from spas, etc. Any such liquids should be wiped off immediately.
  • Do not immerse in water at a depth greater than 1.5 m (4.92 ft).
  • Do not subject the camera to highly pressurized water.
  • Do not immerse in water for longer than 60 minutes. After 60 minutes of use in water, allow the camera to dry for at least 10 minutes.
  • Do not immerse in water warmer than 40°C (104°F).
  • Do not open and close the battery/card compartment cover with wet hands.
  • Do not leave the camera unwashed after it has been immersed in salt water or if salt water is adhering to it.
  • After the camera has been used in water, use fresh water to wash it.
  • After washing the camera, take care to completely drain it, and use a dry cloth to wipe off any drops of water adhering to it.
  • Waterproof seals are used in this camera. We recommend that they be replaced every year.
