On waterproof performance
The camera is operable up to a water depth of 5 m for 30 minutes. *
*When the camera is inserted.
The waterproof performance is based on the testing standards of our company.
Do not subject the Waterproof Case to pressurized water, such as from a tap.
Do not use the Waterproof Case in hot springs.
Use the Waterproof Case in the recommended operating water temperature range of 0°C to +40°C (32°F
to 104°F).
Sometimes waterproof performance is lost if the Waterproof Case is subject to a strong shock such as
from being dropped. We recommend the Waterproof Case be inspected at an authorized repair shop
(chargeable).
If you use the camera at a water depth of 5 m or more, or in marine sports, use the Waterproof Case
(SPK-AS1) (sold separately).
You cannot operate the REC button when the HOLD lever is set to the
lock position. Release the lock before operation.
When recording images underwater with the camera in the Waterproof
Case, recorded images appear less clear than those of normal
recording. This is not a malfunction.
When recording images with the camera in the Waterproof Case, the
angle of view becomes slightly narrower due to the lens.
You can record audio while the camera is in the Waterproof Case, but
the sound level is reduced.
Thread a suitable cord through the attachment hole of the Waterproof
Case, then attach the cord to an item you intend to use with the camera.

Notes on use
Do not throw the Waterproof Case into the water.
Avoid using the Waterproof Case under the following situations:
in a very hot or humid place.
in water hotter than 40°C (104°F).
at temperatures lower than –10°C (14°F).
In these situations moisture condensation or water leakage may occur and damage the camera.
Do not leave the Waterproof Case under direct sunlight or in a very hot and humid place for a long period
of time. If you cannot avoid leaving the Waterproof Case under direct sunlight, be sure to cover the
Waterproof Case with a towel or other protection.
When the camera overheats, it may automatically turn off or recording may malfunction. To use the
camera again, leave it in the cool place for a while to cool down.
If sun oil is on the Waterproof Case, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm water. If the
Waterproof Case is left with sun oil on its body, the surface of the Waterproof Case may become
discolored or damaged (such as cracks on the surface).
Water leakage
If water happens to leak in, stop exposing the Waterproof Case to water immediately.
If the camera gets wet, take it to the nearest Sony dealer immediately. Repair costs must be borne by the
customer.
In the unlikely event that a malfunction of the Waterproof Case causes damage due to water leakage,
Sony does not guarantee against damages to the equipment contained in it (camera, battery pack, etc.)
and the recorded contents, nor expenses entailed in the photography.
O-ring
The Waterproof Case uses an O-ring to maintain its water resistance.
O-ring maintenance is very important. Failure to do O-ring maintenance according to the instructions may
lead to water leaks and cause the Waterproof Case to sink.
Inspect the O-ring
Carefully check that there is any dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt, threads, etc. on the O-ring. If found, be sure to
wipe off with a soft cloth.
Lightly run your fingertip around the O-ring to check for any invisible dirt.
Be careful not to leave any cloth fibers on the O-ring after wiping it.
Check the O-ring for cracks, skewing, distortion, fine splitting, scratches, embedded sand, etc. Replace
the O-ring if you find any of these.
Inspect the O-ring contact surface on the case body in the same way.
How to check for water leaks
Before installing the camera, always close the Waterproof Case and immerse it in water to make
sure no water leaks in.
O-ring serviceable life
The serviceable life of the O-ring varies with frequency of use of the Waterproof Case and conditions.
Generally, it is about one year.

Maintenance
After recording in a location with a sea breeze, wash this unit thoroughly in fresh water with the buckle
fastened to remove salt and sand, then wipe with a soft dry cloth. It is recommended that you submerge
the Waterproof Case in fresh water for about 30 minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions may be
damaged or rust may form and cause water leakage.
If sun oil is on the Waterproof Case, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm water.
Wipe the inside of the Waterproof Case with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash it with water.
Be sure to perform the above maintenance each time you use the Waterproof Case.
Do not use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning, as this might damage the
surface finish of the Waterproof Case.
When storing the Waterproof Case
To prevent deterioration of the O-ring, store the Waterproof Case in a cool, well-ventilated location. Do
not fasten the buckle.
Prevent dust from collecting on the O-ring.
Avoid storing the Waterproof Case in a cold, very hot or humid place, or together with naphthalene or
camphor, as these conditions might damage the Waterproof Case.

The Flat Adhesive Mount and Curved Adhesive Mount cannot be used again once they are detached from
the location surface.
When detaching, peel off slowly. If peeled off forcibly, the surface on which the mount is fixed might be
damaged.
Before attaching, check the surface of the item to be used. If it is dirty, or dust, moisture or oily
substances are attached, adhesive strength may be impaired and the item could detach with slight impact.
Use the appropriate Adhesive Mount (flat or curved) for the surface where the camera will be located. If
the mount is not suitable for the surface, it may detach by slight impact.
Thread a suitable cord through the attachment hole of the Waterproof Case, then attach the cord to an
item you intend to use with the camera.
Before use, confirm that the screw hole on the Attachment Buckle is not loose, and the flat or curved
Adhesive Mount is securely attached to the surface.

Battery pack
On charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack before using the camera for the first time.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to
86°F) until the CHG (Charge) lamp turns off. The battery pack may not be effectively charged in
temperatures outside this range.
The CHG (Charge) lamp may blink in the following situation:
Battery pack is not attached correctly.
Battery pack is damaged.
Temporal suspension of charging due to ambient temperature beyond appropriate temperature range.
When the battery pack temperature is low, detach the battery pack and place it in warm surroundings.
When the battery pack temperature is high, detach the battery pack and place it in cool surroundings.
Effective use of the battery pack
Battery pack performance decreases in low temperature surroundings (less than 10°C (50°F)). So in cold
places, the operational time of the battery pack is shorter. We recommend the following to ensure longer
battery pack use: Put the battery pack in a pocket close to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the
camera immediately before you start shooting.
The battery pack will run out quickly if you use the playback, fast-forward, and fast-rewind frequently.
Turn off the camera every time you do not shoot or playback on the camera. Battery pack is wearing out
when the shooting is in standby.
We recommend having spare battery packs handy for two times or three times the expected shooting
time, and making trial shots before taking the actual shots.
You may not be able to turn on the camera or the battery pack may not be effectively charged if the
terminal section of the battery pack is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust with a soft cloth lightly to clean
the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
About the remaining battery charge
If the battery pack runs out so fast although the remaining charge indicator is high, fully charge the
battery pack again. Remaining charge indicator will be displayed correctly. Note that it may not be
displayed correctly in the following situations:
Using the camera for a long time in high temperature
Leaving the camera with fully charged battery pack
Using a heavily used battery pack
How to store the battery pack
Fully discharge the battery pack before storing and store it in a cool, dry place. To maintain the battery
pack’s function, fully charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it on the camera at least once a
year while storing.
To prevent staining the terminal, short-circuiting, etc., be sure to use a plastic bag to keep away from
metal materials when carrying or storing.
On battery pack life
The battery pack life is limited. Battery capacity decreases over time and through repeated use. If
decreased usage time between charges becomes significant, it is probably time to replace it with a new
one.
The battery pack life varies according to how a battery pack is used.
