▲ The photo shows the time when the camera "sinked into the sea"
Since the camera was borrowed from others, Masaki should be careful Clean the dirt and "marine critters" off the camera properly, and then return it to the owner. He has been using this Nikon Coolpix W300 for about half a year. He feels that this camera is “very solid and very good”. However, "Unfortunately, there seems to be no successor model after the discontinuation of this camera, so there will be few choices in the future." It also publicly called on manufacturers to "continue to produce small waterproof camera products."
▲After the camera was cleaned, it was completely revived
In fact, in addition to Masaki praising the waterproof performance of this camera, many netizens also agreed that "the camera was safe and sound even after being in the sea for a year, which is really amazing." Some people even thought "Made "In Japan" (made in Japan) Nikon cameras are a guarantee of quality, and many netizens even think that it is "expected" that Nikon cameras can still operate normally under such circumstances. However, when it comes to matters, the published specifications of waterproof digital cameras are usually the "most conservative standards", and the camera is actually capable of handling more harsh environments. On the other hand, photography enthusiasts believe that cameras that have been immersed in water or have been splashed by water are prone to damage. One of the common reasons is that the water is not cleaned carefully and thoroughly enough. You must make sure the moisture is completely dry before you can turn on the camera. For example, put the camera and moisture-absorbing bag into a sealed container. The time depends on the degree of water ingress, usually at least 24 hours.
