Caring for the Removable Camera Case

NOTICE

Failure to perform proper care and maintenance may cause damage to the removable camera case or gasket and allow water to leak into the case during use. Exposing the camera to water will cause permanent damage to the camera and battery, which may present a risk of fire, chemical burn, electrolyte leak, and/or injury.

NOTICE

Do not expose the camera or battery to water or other liquids. These care instructions apply only to the removable camera case.

You must follow these steps after each use to help preserve the water protection, lens clarity, and mechanical functions of the removable camera case.

  1. Remove the camera case from the camera.
  2. Carefully remove the gasket from the camera case door.
  3. Thoroughly rinse the camera case and gasket with fresh water.

    This is especially important when the camera case has been exposed to salt water, chlorine, or other chemicals. Extended exposure to chemicals may damage the case, including fogging of the case and lens, and corrosion of the hinge and latch materials.

  4. Verify the gasket and gasket groove are free of debris.

    Even very small debris can prevent the gasket from sealing properly and compromise the waterproof seal.

  5. Replace the gasket onto the camera case door, and verify the gasket is seated fully into the groove.
  6. Allow the case to air dry.

    You should not dry the case or gasket with a cloth. Lint or debris from the cloth may compromise the waterproof seal.
