After Using the Camera
It is particularly important to wash the camera if it has
been used in dirty water or salt water.
1. Since the inside of the camera is not waterproof, make
sure that the back cover and the battery lid is closed
tightly.
• Do not rub lens, finders, or flash lights if they are dirty.
• After you use the camera in the sea, leave the
camera in clean water for a few hours. Salt can cause
the camera to rust.
2. Place the camera in a bucket filled with water, then
gently swish the camera from side to side to remove
dirt and sand.
3. Wipe all moisture from the camera with a dry, soft cloth
and leave it to dry in the shade
A * * Do not wash the camera under running water such as
running water from a tap
• Do not attempt to speed up drying with a dryer or other
heat sources.
