Maintenance

Here are some more tips to get the best performance from your camera:
• Always use the black lens caps to protect the lenses when you're
not using your camera. The lenses are exposed to capture spherical
content and are unprotected. Scratches to the lenses are not covered
under the warranty.
• Use the clear Protective Lenses if you want added lens protection
when you're using your camera. NOTICE: The clear lenses may affect
image quality under certain conditions.
• To protect the lenses from damage, do not rest your camera on its
front or back side. Make sure that the lenses are not resting against
any surface.
To clean the lenses, wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth. If debris
gets stuck between the lens and the trim ring, flush it out with water
or air. Do not insert foreign objects around the lenses.
• Your camera is waterproof to 5 m – no housing needed. Make sure the
door is closed before using the camera around water, dirt or sand.
• Before closing the door, ensure the seal is free of debris. Use a cloth
to clean the seal if needed.
• Before opening the doors, ensure that your camera is clean and dry.
Rinse your camera with fresh water and dry it with a cloth if needed.

Maintenance
• If sand or debris hardens around the doors, soak your camera in warm
tap water for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly to remove the
debris. Make sure your camera is dry before opening the doors.
• For the best audio performance, shake your camera or blow on the
mics to remove water and debris from the microphone holes. Do not
use compressed air to blow into the mic holes. This could damage the
internal waterproof membranes.
• After every use in salt water, rinse your camera with fresh water and
dry with a soft cloth.
WARNING: The dual lenses of MAX are unprotected and are
susceptible to scratches if not cared for properly. Always
store MAX with the provided lens protection and avoid resting
the lens on any surface. Scratches to the lenses are not
covered by the warranty.
