Waterproof management
4.Open the battery compartment and the USB compartment and look for water drops on the inside of the covers . If there are water drops on either, use cotton swab to remove the drops before storing the camera.
Since your camera may fail if you use the camera when foreign matter is on the camera lens, wash the camera using the following procedure:
1.Make sure that the battery chamber cover and the USB cover make a clicking sound when closing them, so that they are ???rmly shut.
2.Fill a bucket or a large bowl with
water and submerge the camera in the water with the camera lens facing downwards, then shake the camera.
3. If the foreign matter is not removed in the above procedure, wash the camera directly under a strong ???ow of water.
??Storage and maintenance
-Do not store the camera in an environment with high or low temperature. The waterproof function may be damaged.
-Do not use any chemicals to clean, to prevent rust, or to repair the camera. The waterproof function may be damaged.
