water. You must seal the camera with the PODZ in order to protect the camera when
using it in wet or moist conditions.

1. The rubber seal on the PODZ forms the waterproof barrier to protect the
camera in wet and underwater conditions. You must keep this seal clean as a
single strain of hair or grain of sand can cause leakage into the product.
2. After every use in salt water, you will need to rinse the outside of the product
and the seal with non-salt water and dry. Not doing this can cause corrosion in
the product or failure in the seal, in turn, damaging the product.

Please ensure you install and lock the PODZ correctly before using the
camera to avoid water damage. Failure to properly seal your came ra can
result in leaks that damage or destroy your camera. Your warranty does
