5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning the Camera and Lens
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the camera body. For the lens, use a specialized lens cleaning cloth and solution. Avoid touching the lens directly with your fingers. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
5.2. Waterproof Case Care
After using the waterproof case in saltwater, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water and let it air dry. Inspect the O-ring seal regularly for any debris or damage. Keep the O-ring clean and lightly lubricated with silicone grease to maintain its seal.
5.3. Storage
Store the camera in a cool, dry place away from dust and direct sunlight. Avoid placing the camera near strong magnetic objects or objects that emit strong radio waves, as this can cause malfunction or data corruption. If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and recharge it every few months to prevent deep discharge.
6. Troubleshooting
- Camera not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. If the issue persists, try connecting to a power source.
- Micro SD card error: Ensure the card is inserted correctly and is a compatible class (Class 10 or higher). Try formatting the card (this will erase all data).
- Overheating during charging: If the camera overheats, emits smoke, or has an odor during charging, immediately unplug the power cord and stop charging to avoid fire. Contact support.
- Image or sound corruption: Avoid placing the camera near strong magnetic fields or strong radio wave emitters.
- Water leakage in waterproof case: Always perform a water test with the case empty before use. Ensure the O-ring is clean and properly seated, and the latch is securely closed.
