O-ring is located under the waterproof door. Follow these
important O-ring care instructions or the camera may flood
• Do not lubricate O-ring.
• Inspect O-ring and O-ring
contact surfaces for damage (cuts,
scratches, tears, cracks, dents and
any other imperfections.) before
each use. Replace O-ring if
damaged or have camera serviced
if the O-ring contact surfaces
become damaged.
• Clean O-ring and O-ring contact
surfaces, removing all sand, hair
and other debris before every use.
Use the cleaning brush provided
or wipe the O-ring and O-ring
contact surfaces with clean moistened cloth.
• Make sure O-ring is completely seated into O-ring groove
before sealing the waterproof door.

door from closing or sealing properly.
• Do not exceed the depth rating of 40m (130ft) or the camera may
