This waterproof digital camera supports up to 8GB SD / MMC memory card, and uses AAA alkaline battery.  Battery lasts for about 2 hours under normal use.  For cost saving purpose in the long run, rechargeable AAA battery can be used as a replacement for AAA alkaline battery.  "Energizer recharge" AAA rechargeable battery (1000 mAh type) has been tested with this camera and the performance is excellent.  As battery is not included in the package, please buy AAA alkaline battery or AAA rechargeable battery to operate this camera.

Lomography and Underwater Photography

As lomographers, you are encouraged to take a lighthearted approach to your photography, and use techniques such as over-saturated colors, off-kilter exposure and blurring.  This attitude works for digital camera as well and it applies even in underwater environment.  If you take a lighthearted approach in using this camera, you may be able to obtain some imperfect but fascinating pictures in your snapshots.

For best results, please use the default 5.0 MP setting for photo taking.  The picture quality at the default 5.0 MP (2560 x 1920) is stable and vivid. When the interpolated 12.0 MP mode is chosen, picture quality is sacrificed for the higher resolution. For video filming, the VGA video mode (no audible sound) (640 x 480 at 30fps) give good quality motion pictures.

Best Performance Guidelines

For best performance of this camera, please consider the following useful information:   (A) Please read the Instruction Manual and Housing Manual thoroughly before use.  

(B) Install the digital camera into the waterproof housing

1. Load the battery and SD card, and check if all functions work normally;

2. Push the safe lock, and open the rear cover of housing (refer to Housing Manual for details);

3. Visually inspect for dust, sand, hair, or any other objects adhering to the O-ring.  If any is found, remove it completely;

4. Load the camera into the housing;

5. Close the rear cover; and

6. Close the latch cover.  After closing, push the safe lock back to its original position.

(C) Battery

Battery is not included.  Please buy your own battery.

Make sure the AAA battery you use is "alkaline" battery. "Energizer" is a commonly used alkaline battery type which provide a stable performance. There are two types of Energizer alkaline battery: The Energizer Advanced is a more longlasting alkaline battery, while the Energizer Max is an everyday use alkaline battery.

Rechargeable battery can be used for cost saving in the long run. The Energizer Recharge is a typical high capacity rechargeable battery which is suitable for digital cameras. Please choose the highest capacity type (1000mAh) when you choose rechargeable AAA battery.

(D) Waterproof O-ring Maintenance

The O-ring is for protection against flooding the digital camera.  The O-ring requires consistent maintenance by retaining its watertight integrity.  The user should perform the following steps before camera use: 1. Never use any sharp objects such as knives, car keys, dental tools, ice picks to remove the O-ring; 2. Visually inspect for dust, sand, hair, or any other objects adhering to the O-ring.  If any is found, remove it completely; 3. Do not apply Vaseline on the O-ring.  This will deteriorate the rubber material of the O-ring; 4. Make sure the rear cover is closed properly.  Inspect the position of the O-ring to make sure that it was completely sealed;  5. keep the camera away from highly pressurized water such as water jets; 6. avoid bumping or knocking the camera underwater; 7. After use in seawater, put the camera housing in fresh water. Soak the camera housing in fresh water for 5 minutes; 8. Place the camera housing in a well ventilated cool place to dry naturally; 9. Do not use any soapy water, mild detergents or alcohol to clean the camera housing. They may cause damage to the O-ring, and make the camera housing less resistant to water.
