Hello My experience with the Go Pro 5 session camera is more than wonderful and I have been using it for five years. I use the camera in diving and spearfishing activities. Yesterday I had a big problem, which was that I lost the camera in the sea in water less than ten meters, but due to the long distance I traveled swimming, I couldn't find it, and the visibility is not good. I made many attempts or methods that facilitate the search process, but I did not find the solution. I am afraid that someone will find it and use the personal content registered for illegal or defective purposes that violate privacy. My question is how long can the camera stayUnder water until it is damaged? If someone else finds it, can I know if he turns it on? How can I clear the memory inside the camera?
