6. Handling After Shooting

Wipe off any waterdrop.

After underwater shooting, remove any drops of water from the case. Use pressurized air or a soft, lint-free cloth to carefully wipe away any moisture from the hinge between the front and rear lids, the shutter release lever, the handgrip and the buckles.

CAUTION: • Water left between the front and rear lids or between the case and port can get inside the case once it is opened or the port is detached. Please dry these areas carefully.

When opening the case or removing the port, make sure no water from outside (e.g. drops from your hair or the diving suit) gets inside of the case and/or on the camera!

Before opening the case or removing the port, ensure that your hands or gloves are completely clean (free of sand, loose fibers, etc.).

Never open the case or remove the port in areas where water could splash or spray or where sand or dust could be blown in the air. When this cannot be avoided, for example if the battery or memory card needs to be changed, the case and camera should be protected from the wind or spray with a plastic sheet or similar object.)

Never touch the digital camera and/or battery you're your hands are wet with sea water.

Note: • Moisten a cloth or towel with tap water and keep it in a plastic bag. Use this to wipe the salt water or crystals from your hands before you touch the camera.
