5. Maintenance

• Waterproof Seal: Always inspect the waterproof seals and compartment cover for any debris or damage before each use, especially before submerging the camera. Ensure it is clean and properly sealed.
• Cleaning: After use in saltwater, rinse the camera thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely with a soft cloth. Clean the lens and screens with a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.
• Battery Care: Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Charge the battery fully before extended periods of non-use.
• Storage: Store the camera in its carrying pouch or a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and impacts.

6. Troubleshooting

• Water Leakage: If water enters the camera, immediately power it off, remove the battery and SD card, and allow it to dry completely. This often indicates improper sealing of the battery/card compartment. Always double-check the seal before water activities.
• Memory Card Error: Ensure the Micro SD card is inserted correctly. Try re-inserting or formatting the card (this will erase all data). If the issue persists, try a different compatible Micro SD card.
• Camera Not Charging/Powering On: Verify the USB cable is securely connected to both the camera and a working power source. Ensure the battery is properly installed. If the battery is old, it may need replacement.
• Blurry Images/Videos: Ensure the lens is clean and free of smudges. Activate autofocus by half-pressing the shutter button before fully pressing. Check lighting conditions; low light can affect clarity.
• Physical Damage: While rugged, the camera is not indestructible. Avoid dropping it from excessive heights or subjecting it to extreme impacts.
