Caring Of The Camera After Using It Underwater - Panasonic Lumix DC-TS7 Owner's Manual

Caring of the camera after using it underwater

Do not open or close the side door until the sand and dust is removed by
rinsing the camera with water.
Make sure to clean the camera after using it.
• Thoroughly wipe off any water droplets, sand, and saline matter on your hands, body,
hair, etc.
• It is recommended to clean the camera indoors, avoiding places where water spray
or sand may fall.
After using it underwater, always clean the camera rather than leaving it in
a dirty state.
• Leaving the camera with foreign objects or saline matter on it may cause damage,
discoloration, corrosion, unusual odour, or deterioration of the waterproof
performance.

Rinse with fresh water with the side door closed.
• After use at the seaside or underwater, soak the unit in
fresh water pooled in a shallow container for 10 minutes
or less.
• Do not use chemicals such as benzine, thinner, alcohol
or cleanser, soap or detergents.
• If the diopter adjustment dial, shutter button, the camera
[ON/OFF] button or other parts are not moving smoothly,
there may be trapped foreign objects. As continued use
may cause these parts to get stuck or cause other
malfunctions, shake the camera in fresh water to wash off any foreign objects.
After that, check that the parts of the camera are moving smoothly.
• Bubbles may come out of the drainage hole when you immerse the camera in
water, but this is not a malfunction.
