Camera Standby Mode:
You can access the camera's menu to choose how long a period of inactivity before the camera goes into standby mode. Options are 30 seconds, one minute, five minutes, and 30 minutes. This feature allows you to conserve battery power by placing the LCD monitor on standby [sleep mode]. It is recommended that this option is set for 30 seconds for the following reasons: to conserve battery power and longer periods of time will cause a warming of the LCD screen. This will cause heating of housing and this can produce condensation and fogging of the lens port. If this occurs and the condensation appears on the lens port then it will have a negative impact on the quality of the images taken.
When you want to resume shooting, pressing any button will re- activate the camera. However, if after the camera goes into standby, a further period of three minutes goes by without any activity, the camera will turn off [deep sleep mode]. You can turn it back on by pressing and holding the triangular icon

1.Always rinse your housing with a strong stream of fresh water and if possible soak your housing in fresh water tub or rinse tank for about 20 minutes after every dive in order to dissolve the salt water crystals from around the controls and openings of the housing. Manipulate each of the movable controls to assist the removal of salt particles from these tight areas.
2.Allow the housing to dry thoroughly before packing away for the day or for the trip home. You may use a soft towel or cloth to dry the housing. Be sure there is no grease or other debris on the towel.
