Caring Of The Camera After Using It Underwater - Panasonic DMC-FT4 Basic Operating Instructions 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,
discolouration, corrosion, unusual odour, or deterioration of the waterproof performance.

Rinse with 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.
•
If the zoom button or camera [ON/OFF] button do not move
smoothly, it may be caused by an adhesion of foreign
objects. Using in such a state may cause malfunctions, such
as locking up, so wash off any foreign objects by shaking the
camera in fresh water.
•
Bubbles may come out of the drainage hole when you
immerse the camera in water, but this is not a malfunction.
