Waterproofing
X5 has a waterproof depth rating of up to 15 meters (49 feet). Remember to remove the lens guards before use in/around water.
Due to the difference in the refractive indices of water and air, shooting with X5 underwater in 360° Mode may have stitching issues. To ensure optimal stitching, it is recommended to use the Invisible Dive Case for underwater shooting.
Before use, please check and ensure that the camera's battery compartment waterproof seal and the USB Port Cover seal are:
- Intact and free from dirt or debris.
- Tightly closed with the orange indicator fully hidden.
*Failure to do so may affect waterproofing. If necessary, clean with a lint-free cloth.
After using X5 in seawater, please follow these precautions:
- Rinse the camera with fresh water.
- Soak the camera in fresh water for 5–10 minutes.
- Finally, wipe it dry with a soft cloth and place it in a well-ventilated area to air dry. Only when the camera surface is dry should you proceed with removing the battery or other operations.
To maintain X5's waterproofing:
- Do not use a hair dryer to dry the camera as it may affect the microphone and speaker and/or damage the internal waterproofing.
- Avoid operating the camera for extended periods (>1 hour) outside the recommended temperature range (-4°F to 104°F/-20℃ to 40℃) or in humid environments.
- When using the camera, avoid sudden changes in temperature or humidity, as this may cause condensation on the camera's surface or inside, affecting the shooting quality.
- Avoid entering water at high speeds, as excessive water impact and pressure may damage the device.
- Ensure the camera's Battery Cover and USB Port Cover are installed and securely closed.
