Maintenance and Care Instructions - IMPORTANT
Follow these important camera care instructions or the camera
may become damaged or flood.
• Soak and rinse sealed camera under running water or in fresh water tub for
about 2 minutes after underwater use or when dirty. Press each button
several times to clean out any saltwater, sand or dirt that may be trapped
under the buttons. Towel dry and place camera button-side down to allow
excess water to drain from the buttons.
• Do not let any water or dirt enter the camera's battery compartment or
memory card slot when waterproof door is opened. This may result in
damage to the camera electronics.
• Make sure that you and the camera are completely dry before opening the
waterproof door or changing the batteries or the memory card.
• Avoid opening waterproof door in wet, sandy or humid environments. It is
recommended to load batteries and prepare the camera in dry cool air,
such as inside an air conditioned room. This will prevent water or humidity
from being trapped inside the camera, which may cause fogging to occur.
• Avoid exposing camera to direct sunlight or extreme high temperatures,
such as the trunk of your car, for prolonged periods of time.
• The camera is negatively buoyant and will sink in water. Recommend
purchasing optional float strap (SL920).
• Attach the strap to your wrist or buoyancy control device (BCD) when using
the camera in or near water.
• Make sure camera is cleaned and completely dry before storing.
• Store camera at room temperature in a clean and dry place. Remove
batteries. Leave waterproof door unlatched when storing camera for 3
months or longer.
