Cleaning After Using the Camera Underwater
After using the camera underwater or at the beach or other sandy or dusty
environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened
with fresh water and dry thoroughly within 60 minutes.
If you leave the camera in wet conditions where salt particles or other foreign
substances adhere to it, this could cause damage, discoloration, corrosion, a
bad smell or deterioration of waterproof performance.
To ensure long operational use, washing the camera by using the following
procedure is recommended.
• Before cleaning the camera, thoroughly remove water droplets, sand, salt
particles, or other foreign substances from your hands, body, and hair.
• It is recommended to clean the camera indoors to avoid a place where it
could be exposed to water spray or sand.
• Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until all foreign
substances are washed off with water and all moisture is wiped off.
1. Keep the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover closed and wash
off the camera with fresh water.
Lightly rinse the camera with tap water, or immerse the camera in a shallow
basin filled with freshwater for about 10 minutes.
• If the buttons or switches do not operate properly, foreign substances
may have adhered to the camera.
Foreign substances can cause the camera to malfunction; wash the
camera thoroughly.
2. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry the camera in the
well-ventilated and shady place.
• Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it.
Water will flow out from openings in the microphone or speakers.
• Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer.
• Do not use chemicals (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser),
soap, or neutral detergents.
If the waterproof packing or body of the camera becomes deformed, the
waterproof performance will deteriorate.
