Cleaning and storage Cleaning after using the camera underwater Follow the procedure below to rinse the camera with fresh water within 60 minutes after using it underwater or at the beach. 1. Keep the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover closed and wash off the camera with fresh water. • Immerse the camera in a shallow basin filled with fresh water for 10 minutes. • Immerse the camera in fresh water and shake it sufficiently in the water to remove any foreign substances from the camera. • When the camera is immersed in the water, a few air bubbles may come out from the water drain holes of the camera such as openings in the microphone or speakers. This is not a malfunction. 2. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry the camera in a wellventilated and shady place. • Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it. • Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer. 3. After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera, open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and use a soft dry cloth to gently wipe off any water or sand remaining on the waterproof packing or inside the camera. • If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation or a malfunction. Cleaning after using the camera in conditions other than underwater Use a blower to remove any dust or lint that adheres to the lens, monitor, or camera body. To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, gently wipe the parts with a soft dry cloth. If you wipe with too much pressure or with a rough cloth, it may damage the camera or cause a malfunction. For your safety 39
