- Sea salt is corrosive to metal components in the camera and lens that could potentially result in rust. After photographing the sea, wipe the camera with a slightly dampened cloth to remove any residual salt stuck to the camera, a little bit not too much. After that lap again with a cloth until it is completely dry.
- Cameras and lenses have moving parts such as buttons, dials, door hinges battery and memory card, focusing ring and zoom lens rotation. If there is a jam not played or opened by force. If it does not understand, take it to a friend who knew or take it to the service center. If it could be forced to part that broke.
