Use and Care of Waterproof Case
Before sealing the waterproof case, make sure the camera housing’s rubber seal is clean. A single hair or grain of sand can cause the case to leak. Test the case by closing it without inserting the camera. Submerse the case completely in water for about a minute. Remove the case from the water, dry off the exterior with a towel and open the case. If the interior is completely dry, the case is safe for use under water.
Remember to set the Mode Switch to your desired recording mode before inserting the camera in the waterproof case. The case does not have an external button for switching recording modes.
Always rinse the exterior of the waterproof housing with fresh water after using your camera in salt water. Not doing this can eventually cause corrosion of the hinge pin and salt buildup in the seal, which can cause the case to fail.
To clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry (drying with a cloth may cause lint that can compromise the seal). Re-install the seal into the grooves in the backdoor of the housing.
