HELPFUL TIPS 
Follow these guidelines to get the best performance from  
your camera:
•  The camera is waterproof to 33’ (10m)—no housing needed. 
Ensure that the side door is closed before using the camera in  
or around water, dirt, or sand. 
•  Before closing the side door, be sure the seal is free of debris.  
If needed, clean with a blower brush or canned air.
•  Before opening the side door, be sure the camera is free of water or  
debris. If needed, rinse the camera with water and dry it with a cloth.
•  If sand or debris hardens around the side door, soak the camera 
in warm tap water for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly to 
remove the debris before opening the door.
•  For best audio performance, shake the camera or blow on the mic 
to remove water and debris from the microphone holes. 
•  Aer every use in salt water, rinse the camera with fresh water, 
and dry with a so cloth.
•  If the camera lens becomes foggy, let it sit with the door open until 
it dries.
PRO TIP: During water activities, tether your camera for added 
security and use a Floaty to keep your camera afloat (sold separately).
