After many research, I notified that many people have some mistakes about waterproof digital camera using. But don't worry about it because it’s not big mistakes and not difficult to make it right.
All waterproof digital cameras will leak if you use them carelessly. Don’t open up the camera doors when at the beach or pool. Make sure to take it home, dunk and wash in water, clean sand and dust off, let dry off to keep sunscreen and sand out of the gaskets, etc. If you try to change memory cards while at the beach with greasy sunscreen and sand covered fingers, you’re likely to compromise the sealing gaskets and ruin your camera, regardless of camera model. I load mine up with an empty memory card and full battery before going out so I don’t have to worry about anything. If you’re like me and never read manuals, at least make sure to carefully read through the care and maintenance section so you can avoid ruining your camera yourself. The included paper manual is very sparse and does not explain all the icons or photo/video settings - but it does cover care and maintenance. You have to download the pdf manual from official website to learn the full features of the camera. Unless you are a professional videographer, change your video settings from AVCHD Lite to Motion Jpg. AVCHD is a format made for professional cameras, which is great if you are a videographer But I’ve read about lots of digital camera users online who just want to view their movies or upload them to Youtube without needing lots of specialized software and training. Save yourself the hassle and change to mpeg BEFORE taking lots of video and life will be simpler. If you just want to point and shoot and not touch settings, set the dial to iA and the camera does a good job at taking care of everything for you.
