Olympus STYLUS TOUGH-8000 Basic Manual página 21

Before Use:
• Check the camera for foreign material
including dirt, dust or sand.
• Be sure to close the battery/card compartment
cover and connector cover fi rmly so that each
lock makes clicking sound.
• Do not open the battery/card compartment
cover and connector cover with wet hands,
while under water, or in a damp or dusty
environment (e.g. beach).
After Use:
• Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris
after using the camera under water.
• After the camera is used under seawater,
immerse the camera in a bucket containing
fresh water for about 10 minutes (with
the battery/card compartment cover and
connector cover fi rmly closed). After
that, dry the camera in a shade with good
ventilation.
• Water drops may be observed on the inner
surface of the battery/card compartment
cover or connector cover after you open
each cover. If any water drops are found,
be sure to wipe them off before using the
camera.
Notes after use
• Foreign materials may be attached to the
periphery of the lens cover from using the
camera in conditions with foreign materials
such as dirt, dust or sand, or when the lens
cover is not moving smoothly. If you continue
to use the camera in such conditions, the lens
could become damaged or the lens cover
could stick causing additional damage to the
camera. To avoid such damage, wash the
camera using the following method.
1 Insert the battery and close the battery/
card compartment cover and connector
cover fi rmly so that each lock makes the
clicking sound.
2 Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse
the camera in the bucket with the lens
surface downward and shake the camera
thoroughly.
3 Press the n button several times in
the water and close/open the lens cover
repeatedly.
4 Furthermore, shake the camera further
with the cover opened.
Follow the Steps 1 to 4, then check if the
lens cover moves smoothly.
If the lens cover does not move smoothly,
rinse the lens face by placing it directly under
a strong stream of tap water and pressing the
n button repeatedly.
Storage and Maintenance
• Do not leave the camera in an environment at
high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at
low temperature (-10°C (14°F) or less). Failure
to do so may break down water resistance.
• Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust
prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc. Failure
to do so may break down water resistance.
• Do not leave the camera in water for a long
time. Failure to do so will cause damage to
the camera's appearance and/or deteriorate
water resistance.
• In order to preserve the water resistant
feature, as with any underwater housing,
it is recommended that the waterproof
packing (and seals) are replaced annually.
For the Olympus distributors or service
stations where the waterproof packing can
be replaced, visit Olympus website for your
local area.
