camcorder works. Reading through the User Manual will help you get to
know your camcorder.

Do not open the battery cover while underwater.
Use the camcorder as you normally would to capture photos and videos.
After capturing images underwater it is perfectly normal that some water
may enter the camcorder. This will not damage the camcorder or the
images captured.
Note: Once out of the water any water in the camcorder will drain and gradually dry
out by itself. Do not attempt to open the camcorder casing, tamper or dismantle the
camcorder.
If you use the camcorder in sea water, please rinse the camcorder with fresh clean
water as soon as you can afterwards. Sea water has a high salt content as well as
small particles of sand and this may damage the camcorder.ꢂ
