After Using the Camera Underwater

The camera and lens should be cleaned within 60 minutes of
underwater use. Leaving the lens attached, immerse the camera
in fresh water to remove salt and other foreign matter. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in damage, discoloration,
corrosion, offensive odors, or vulnerability to leaks.

Before Cleaning the Camera and Lens
Clean the product indoors in areas not exposed to sand or spray and be
sure to remove the front cap from the lens and any water, salt, sand, or
other foreign matter from your hands or hair before proceeding. Do not
open the connector or battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until
all foreign matter has been washed away and the camera is dry.
Ready the camera.

Leaving the lens attached, immerse
