Waterproof packing
The camera uses an waterproof packing to maintain its water resistance. The waterproof packing
maintenance is very important. Failure to do waterproof packing maintenance according to the
instructions may lead to water leaks and cause the camera to sink.
Inspecting the waterproof packing
Carefully check that there is no dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt, threads, sea water, etc., on the
waterproof packing. If found, be sure to wipe off with a soft cloth.
Lightly run your fingertip around the waterproof packing to check for any invisible dirt.
Be careful not to leave any cloth fibers on the waterproof packing after wiping it.
Check the waterproof packing for cracks, skewing, distortion, fine splitting, scratches, embedded
sand, etc.
Inspect the waterproof packing contact surface on the case body in the same way.
