Q – A “card error” message appears on the LCD after powering on the camera
A – Most likely is that the SD memory card is not completely inserted into the memory card slot.  Make
sure the card is pushed all the way into the slot until it clicks and locks in place. The other possibility is that
the memory card is damaged or dirty.  Check to make sure contacts on the card are clean.  Also check
that there is no debris lodged in the memory card slot.  Blow or shake-out any dirt or debris in the memory
card slot.  Do not stick any object into the memory card slot – this can damage the camera.  If you are still
experiencing a card error message, replace the memory card.
Q – My camera locks-up and the only way to unlock it is by removing the battery.
A – If your camera locks-up, please do the following:
1)  Make sure you are using an approved SD memory card – Sandisk, Panasonic or Toshiba with memory
size up to 512mb.
2)  Check the SeaLife website for the latest firmware upgrade.  This is available for free download on our
website –

.   This new FW will correct lock-up issue when the camera is set
to TIFF image format.
