. Cleaning after Use
Perform the following steps to clean the camera after using it under water or after it
becomes soiled with sand, dirt, or mud. Note that the [CARD] cover and [USB] cover
must be closed securely when performing these steps.
1.
Immerse the camera in fresh water.
• Fill a bucket or other container with tap water or other fresh
water, and immerse the camera for about 10 minutes.
Gently wipe dust, dirt, sand, and other matter from the
camera with your fingers.
• Do not rub the lens surface while dirty.
2.

• Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe the camera dry. Moisture may remain on the
[CARD] cover and [USB] cover, even after you finish wiping the camera dry.

location to dry thoroughly. Closing the covers while they are still wet can cause
fogging of the lens when shooting.
