After using the camera
• Be sure to come ashore within 60 minutes after going
underwater, this will maintain the appearance, quality and
water resistance of the camera.
• After taking pictures underwater, clean the camera in a bucket
of water without salt. Ensure that the battery/USB
compartment cover is closed; then soak the camera in the
bucket of water for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, wipe
the camera and the lens dry with absorbent cotton. Place the
camera in a well ventilated cool place to dry naturally (do not
place under direct sunlight or exposed areas). Be sure to wait
until the camera is completely dry before opening the
battery/USB compartment cover (open the compartment cover
while holding an absorbent cotton to dry off water or clean
other impurities around the cover).
• Wipe off water drops on the camera and the lens with a soft
lint-free cloth (to avoid fiber) and place it in a well-ventilated
place to dry. The cover at the battery/IO DOOR can be opened
only after dry to prevent water from entering the camera when
opening.
