IMPORTANT: Water, dust, and shock resistance
After Using
After underwater use or exposure to dusty conditions, promptly rinse the camera with fresh
water and thoroughly dry.
1. Hold down the power button for a second to turn off the camera.
Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
2. Rinse with fresh water.
Immerse the camera in a container with enough fresh water to cover completely it.
Operate the buttons to force out any material caught in the gaps around them.
Do not clean with soap, detergent, alcohol, or other chemicals.
Do not rinse the camera under taps or other powerful water sources
3. Dry.
Thoroughly wipe with a dry, soft cloth and dry in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
Face the microphone opening downward or take other measures to eliminate any water trapped
inside.
Allowing sand to dry on the camera risks scratching. Wash it off and wipe the camera dry.
Thoroughly wipe off any foreign matter or water droplets inside the bottom cover.
Notes
