General maintenance

Here are some more tips to get the best performance from your camera:

Always use the black lens cap to protect the lenses when you're not using your camera. The lenses are exposed to capture spherical content and are unprotected. Scratches to the lenses are not covered under the warranty.
Use the clear Protective Lenses if you want added lens protection when you're using your camera. NOTICE: The clear lenses may affect image quality under certain conditions.
To protect the lenses from damage, do not rest your camera on its front or back side. Be sure the lenses are not resting against any surface.
To clean the lenses, wipe them with a soft, lint-free cloth. If debris gets stuck between the lens and the trim ring, flush it out with water or air. Do not insert foreign objects around the lenses.
Your camera is waterproof to 16ft (5m)-no housing needed. Be sure the door is closed before using the camera around water, dirt, or sand.
Before closing the door, be sure the seal is free of debris. Use a cloth to clean the seal if needed.
Before opening the doors, be sure that your camera is clean and dry. Rinse your camera with fresh water and dry it with a cloth if needed.
If sand or debris hardens around the doors, soak your camera in warm tap water for 15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly to remove the debris. Make sure your camera is dry before opening the doors.
For best audio performance, shake your camera or blow on the mics to remove water and debris from the microphone holes. Do not use compressed air to blow into the mic holes. This could damage the internal waterproof membranes.
After every use in salt water, rinse your camera with fresh water, and dry with a soft cloth.
