BASIC OPERATION/SHOOTING

After using in water

After using the camera in water, wash it with fresh water and dry it completely.

1 Turn off the camera, and close the battery cover and terminal cover securely.

2 Wash the camera with fresh water.

hFill a shallow basin with fresh water, and immerse the closed camera for about 10 minutes. Rotate the monitor unit several times to clean it completely.

3 Dry the camera.

hUse a dry cloth to wipe off any drops adhering to the camera, and leave it to dry completely in a well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight.

hDo not use a hair dryer or the like to dry the camera. Exposing the camera to high temperatures may cause the camera and/or waterproof

seal to become deformed.

hIf there is salt, for example, on the unit,

the hinge portion of the battery cover or terminal cover may become white. Wipe the affected area with a cotton

swab moistened with water until the white deposit is removed. After wiping, use the supplied brush to lightly brush

the area. h If moisture adheres to the microphone

or speaker, the volume may decrease and it may become difficult to hear the

audio. Place the camera so that the microphone and speaker are facing downward to remove the water, then wipe away the moisture. Allow the camera to dry for a while before using it again.

hDo not insert any pointed object in the microphone or speaker holes. (Doing so may damage the internal waterproof sheet and impair the waterproof functionality.)
