Underwater Usage

  • The camera unit can be used underwater at depths of up to 10 m.

The camera may stitch images incorrectly when shooting panoramic videos underwater because water bends light differently than air. It is not recommended to use the camera alone for underwater shooting.

1. Make sure the battery and battery compartment are dry and clean before inserting the battery. Otherwise, it may affect the battery contact and waterproofing ability. Make sure the battery compartment cover is firmly fastened after the battery is inserted. Note that the red marks should not be visible after the cover is properly fastened. 2. Avoid jumping into water at high speed with the product. Otherwise, the impact may result in water seepage. 3. Rinse the camera with tap water after using it underwater. Allow it to dry naturally before using again. Wipe the surface of the camera with a soft and dry cloth. 4. DO NOT dry the camera with hot air using a hair dryer, otherwise the microphone membrane and the built-in breathable membrane will rupture, and the camera will no longer be waterproof. 5. After using the camera in water, open the battery compartment cover facing downward to prevent water from entering the gaps in the battery compartment if you need to replace the battery. Wipe off any water droplets in the gaps of the battery compartment and clean the red waterproof rubber ring to prevent any foreign objects from remaining. Otherwise, it will affect the waterproof performance during subsequent use.

Cleaning

1. DO NOT spill any liquids containing alcohol or cleansing solution on the camera. 2. If the holes of the microphone, heat dissipation slots, or other parts of the camera are blocked by sand or other foreign matter, rinse with fresh water while the camera is in a sealed waterproof state. 3. Clean the lens with a lens cleaning pen, lens air blower, or lens cleaning cloth. 4. Clean the battery and battery compartment with a clean, dry cloth. 5. Make sure the quick-release slots on the camera are clear of dust and sand when attaching the Quick-Release Adapter Mount.
