*Failure to properly seal your camera can result in leaks that may damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does not
cover water damage resulting from user neglect.
*The rubber seal on the Panel Cover forms the waterproof barrier to protect the camera in wet and underwater
conditions. You must keep this seal clean; a single strand of hair or a single grain of sand can cause water to leak into the
camera.
*After every use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the product and the seal with non-salt water, then dry.
Failure to rinse off salt water can cause corrosion within the camera and, in turn, damage will result.
