HELPFUL TIPS
Follow these guidelines to get the best performance from your camera:
•The camera is waterproof to 33’ (10m)—no housing needed. Ensure that the side door is closed before using the camera in or around water, dirt, or sand.
•Before closing the side door, be sure the seal is free of debris. If needed, clean with a blower brush or canned air.
•Before opening the side door, be sure the camera is free of water or debris. If needed, rinse the camera with water and dry it with a cloth.
/ Getting Started
•If sand or debris hardens around the side door, soak the camera in warm tap water for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly to remove the debris before opening the door.
•For best audio performance, shake the camera or blow on the mic to remove water and debris from the microphone holes.
•After every use in salt water, rinse the camera with fresh water, and dry with a soft cloth.
•If the camera lens becomes foggy, let it sit with the door open until it dries.
PRO TIP: During water activities, tether your camera for added security and use a Floaty to keep your camera afloat (sold separately). For more information, visit gopro.com.
