HELPFUL TIPS & CAMERA VIBRATIONS

HELPFUL TIPS

Follow these guidelines to get the best performance from your camera:

• Before opening the back cap, be sure the camera is free of water or debris. If 

needed, rinse the camera with water and dry it with a cloth.

• Before closing the back cap, be sure the seal is free of debris. If needed, clean 

with a blower brush or canned air.

• After every use in salt water, rinse the camera with fresh water, and dry with a soft 

cloth.

• If the camera lens becomes foggy, let it sit with the back cap off until it dries.

• If sand or debris hardens around the back cap, soak the rear of the camera in 

warm tap water for 5 minutes and then rinse thoroughly to remove the debris 

before opening.

• The camera is water-resistant; no housing needed. Ensure that the back cap is 

closed and locked before using the camera around water, dirt, or sand.

• For best audio performance, ensure the microphone hole is free of water or 

debris. To remove obstructions, shake the camera or blow on the mic to remove 

water and debris from the microphone hole.  *DO NOT stick anything in the mic 

hole as you could damage the mic.

IMPORTANT MESSAGES / CAMERA VIBRATIONS

If the camera begins to vibrate for 5 seconds on and 5 seconds off repeatedly, check 

the following:

NO SD Card = The camera requires a micro SD, micro SDHC or micro SDXC card 

to capture videos.

SD FULL = Delete files or swap card.

SD ERROR = Camera is unable to read card. Please format the card and try again.  

NOTICE: When formatting SD Cards, if you select Yes,  all of your card’s content 

WILL BE DELETED.  To avoid loss of video, download all files onto your computer 

in a separate file.  Reformat your micro SD Card on a regular basis to ensure that 

the card can continue to receive information from the camera.
