8. Handling After Shooting
Wiping off any waterdrops
After underwater shooting, remove any drops of water from the flash.
Use pressurized air or lint-free cloth to carefully wipe away any water from
the buttons, the battery cap and the gaps between the battery cap and the
body of the flash.
CAUTION
• Waterdrops may spill into the flash when the battery cap is removed,
especially when they remain between the flash and the battery cap. Take
special care to wipe off all waterdrops.
Removing the batteries
1 Remove the battery cap and take out the batteries.
2 After removing the batteries, be sure to replace the battery cap.
CAUTION
• Before opening the battery cap, make sure that your hands or gloves are
free of sand, fibers, etc.
• Do not open or close the battery cap at locations where water or sand may
be sprayed. When this cannot be avoided because you have to exchange
the battery, place a sheet upwind from some object and take care that no
water or sand is sprayed.
• Never touch the batteries when your hands are wet with salt water.
Note :
Moisten a towel etc. in advance with pure water and keep it in a plastic bag
so that you can wipe the salt from your hands and fingers before handling
the flash.
Cleaning the flash with pure water
Please make sure to use pure water. After using this flash, seal it again
with the battery cap and rinse it with pure water as soon as possible. After
use in salt water, the flash should be immersed for an extended period of
time in a bowl of pure water to remove any salt water or salt residues.
