Memory Card / Storage Chart

Compatible with 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB capacity micro SD, micro SDHC and micro SDXC memory cards. While all speed class ratings are compatible, it requires using an SD card with Speed Class Rating 10 or higher speed when recording, or when using the 1fps time Lapse setting. We recommend using brand name memory cards for maximum reliability in high-vibration activities.

*Work with class 6 or above.

Preventing water damage to your Camera

1. Keep the rubber seal clean with fresh water and dry after every use.
2. After every use in salt water, please rinse the housing with fresh water.
3. Clean the seal, rinse in fresh water and shake dry.
   * Failure to follow these steps each time you use the camera can result in leaks that may damage or destroy it. Your warranty does not cover water damage resulting from user error.

TEMPERATURE WARNING

To charge the battery:

1. Connect the camera to a power source.
2. The red status indicator light remains on while the battery is being charged.
3. The red status indicator light turns OFF when the battery is fully charged.
