Vedlikehold

• Rengjøring av linsen: Bruk en myk, lofri mikrofiberklut som er spesielt utviklet for optiske overflater. For gjenstridige flekker, bruk en liten mengde linserengjøringsmiddel på kluten, ikke direkte på linsen.
• Rengjøring av fatet: Wipe the aluminum alloy barrel with a clean, damp klut. Unngå skurende rengjøringsmidler.
• Lagring: Store the lens in its aluminum alloy carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust, scratches, and impacts. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Vanneksponering: After underwater use, rinse the water-repellent front section with fresh water and dry thoroughly before storing. Ensure the USB Type-C port cover is securely closed during and after use in wet conditions.
