Problem: Pictures not sharp.
Reason: Quick, jerky movements while swimming or
chasing fish.
Solutions: Control your buoyancy, stay calm and keep camera still when
shooting.
Other reasons: Lenses not clean or fogged.
Solutions: Always keep camera and housing
lenses clean. Finger prints and dirty lenses will result in unclear pictures. It’s a good
practice to inspect the glass port for fogging while underwater.
Problem: Housing fogs-up while underwater.
Reasons: One drop of water trapped
inside the housing can cause the lens to fog.
Setting up the camera and sealing the
housing in a hot, humid area can cause fogging, when the camera cools down in colder
water. Solutions: Inner camera or inside housing must be perfectly dry. Use SeaLife Anti
Fog Desiccant (page 12), set-up camera in an air-conditioned room, and rub a drop of
antifog lotion on the inside of the port lens. If you still experience fogging you may have a
leak.
Problem: Housing leaks water.
Reason: O-ring does not seal properly.
Solutions:
1) Hold the camera steady so that small amounts of water can stay in a corner of the
housing and surface safely and slowly, handing the camera slowly to a person on the
boat who must keep the camera in the same position. Remove the inner camera
slowly, and dry off camera as quickly as possible.
2) Remove batteries immediately. Never operate a camera that has been flooded or is
wet. You can get a shock and cause more damages.
3) Inspect main O-ring and sealing area for damage or debris (sand, hair, etc.). If O-ring
shows damage or imperfection, have it replaced by an authorized Sealife service center.
