A Word about Waterproofing
CV-6 is designed to be used by the sportsperson, boater or casual user in an environment in which exposure to water, such as rain, mist, splashing and so forth, might be a possibility. However, it is not designed to take pictures underwater nor is it intended for any application underwater. In other words, it is intended to be resistant to accidental exposure to water. It is not designed for intentional submersion or extended use in water. If CV-6 is intentionally immersed in water for any significant length of time, the electronics and optics may be damaged or destroyed, and you risk voiding the warranty in doing so.
Also note that although CV-6 may be used near a water environment, water on the lens will cause the images that you capture to be distorted, just as it would with any camera. Take the time to towel off the camera lens with a soft cloth before attempting to capture an image. Also wipe off water from the entire device when you leave the water environment, and especially before storing.
