•Do not subject the camera to undue shock or vibration by dropping or hitting it, or
else the camera’s water resistance might be compromised.
•As the camera’s water resistance was tested in fresh water only, its 7 rating is not
guaranteed in salt, chlorinated, or soapy water.
•Do not immerse the camera in any liquid other than water, such as alcohol.
•The camera is water resistant at around room temperature, but it is not impermeable
to water vapour. High heat or humidity in places like saunas, steam rooms, and hot
tubs might damage the camera.
•Do not take a shower with the camera or take the camera to a bath with any water
jets, such as a jacuzzi.
•Make sure the silicone cover is closed (see step 3 on chapter 3) before submerging
the camera or otherwise bringing the camera in contact with any water to prevent
water from entering and damaging the camera.
•Do not remove the silicone cover when the camera is underwater, for obvious reasons,
or in areas exposed to high humidity, water spray, high winds, dust, dirt, or sand.
•Abrupt changes in temperature and humidity can result in visible condensation inside
the lens or LCD screen, which might lead to the camera malfunctioning. To avoid this,
place the camera in a closed bag when moving from one environment to another in
order to slow any changes in temperature and humidity experienced by the camera.
Take the camera out of the bag only when the temperature and humidity inside the
bag is the same as that outside the bag.
* If visible condensation has already formed, try leaving the camera overnight in a sealed
bag or container of uncooked rice. The rice will absorb the excess moisture. Alternatively,
leave the camera in a dehumidifying dry cabinet until the visible condensation disappears.
•Do not press any buttons on the back of the camera (press only the shutter button)
while the camera is underwater, as pressing the buttons on the back of the camera
might allow water to enter and damage the camera.
Camera Care
•Always clean the camera within 1 hour of using it underwater or anywhere where it is
in contact with water that is not fresh water, such as in the rain. To do this, run the
camera under a tap of room temperature water. Before doing so, make sure the
camera is off (see chapter 7) and the silicone cover is closed (step 3 on chapter 3). Use
your fingers to rub away any dirt or other residues, such as sunscreen. Then wipe the
camera with a soft, dry, and clean cloth and leave the camera to dry in an area that is
well ventilated.
•Do not remove the silicone cover, charge the camera, or use the camera’s Micro-B USB
port until the camera is completely dry.
•From time to time, use a microfibre cloth to remove any dust and fingerprints on the
camera, especially on the lens, which can be easily scratched.
•Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals to clean the camera, or else
the camera, particularly its finish, might be damaged.
Storage
•Store the camera in a cool, dry, and clean place.
•Do not store the camera in an area exposed to, among other things, high or fluctuating
heat or humidity; cold temperatures; dust, dirt, or sand; chemicals; flammable objects;
severe vibration; or strong magnetic fields.
Others
•Do not ever attempt to modify or take apart the camera or the included USB cable. If
the camera breaks open as a result of an accident, do not touch any of the camera’s
internal parts, as they pose a fire and electric shock risk.
•Do not attempt to copy the camera’s software; transfer to another party any copy of
it, whether in whole or in part; or modify it in any way whatsoever.
•Do not apply force to the camera body, especially the lens and the LCD screen, which
can be easily damaged.
•Do not place the camera on an unstable surface, as the camera might fall and cause
injury.
•Do not aim the camera directly at extremely bright light sources, such as the sun, or
else the camera's sensor might be damaged.
•Do not insert objects into the microphone hole, or else the camera’s water resistance
might be compromised and the microphone might be damaged.
•Do not remove or damage in any way the CE label on the bottom of the camera.
