Using and cleaning camera underwater
Entering the water with camera
1. Do not jump into the water with camera in your hand. Have someone hand you the
camera after you have entered the water.
2. For tips on taking pictures, see
“Great Underwater Pictures Made Easy”
.
After using camera underwater
1 Before entering dive boat, hand the camera to someone on the boat.
2. Make sure the sealed camera is placed in a fresh water tank available on most dive
boats. This will clean the salt water from the camera and prevents the salt water
from drying on the camera and O-ring. Never let salt water dry on the camera. Salt
crystals can damage the O-ring, lens and attract moisture. Dry camera with clean
soft towel after removing from fresh water tank.
3. Do not expose camera to direct sunlight – keep in a shaded area or under a dry
towel.
4. It is not recommended to open waterproof door while on the dive boat. Allowing
humid air to enter the camera may cause fogging.
5. If you must open the camera while on the dive boat, make sure you and the camera
are perfectly dry before opening the waterproof door. Do not allow the inside of the
camera to get wet.
Cleaning camera after use
1. The sealed camera must be thoroughly cleaned with fresh water before opening.
Never let salt water dry on camera. Salt crystals may damage the O-ring, lens and
attract moisture.
2. Never let water drops dry on lens. Wipe lens dry with clean cotton cloth.
3. Before opening camera, everything, including your hands, head and surrounding
area must be totally dry. Have a dry towel handy.
Prepare camera for storage
1. Before storing the camera, remove batteries, SD card and keep in a clean dry area.
Make sure the camera and any accessories are clean and dry before storage.
2. Never store camera in direct sunlight or in a dark damp area. The airtight,
unbreakable SeaLife ReefMaster Dry Case (Item # SL930) is highly recommended
along with 1-oz bags of SeaLife Moisture Muncher Desiccant (Item # M101) for
travel and storage.
3. To protect your SeaLife camera from build up of moisture insert a Moisture
Muncher
®
(item #SL911) into the battery compartment during storage (see Page
52).
