Avoid using the camera in places with excessive dust or sand, or where water can come into contact with the camera.

`79;`79;Avoid using the camera under the following conditions,

which present a risk that sand, water, or foreign material

may enter the camera through the lens or openings around

buttons. Be especially careful because these conditions

may damage the camera, and such damage may not be

repairable.

••In extremely dusty or sandy places

In the rain or by the shore, where the camera may be exposed to water. I suggest  open all compartments, remove battery and let it dry out over a heat source (not too hot) where there is some air movement. Best of luck!
