dry them. When an object with a sharp tip is used to remove the O-ring

from the groove, the O-ring may be damaged and water leakage may be

caused. Always use the accessory pick for O-ring removal.

Q6 : How should I take pictures under water?

A6 : Please observe the following items for shooting under water.

(1) Fix the case with the accessory hand strap to your wrist.

(2) When you place a finger onto the lens window, the finger will appear in

the photo. Pay attention to the position of your fingers when holding the

Case.

(3) When pressing the shutter lever, hold the Case securely with both hands

and operate the lever quietly to prevent camera shake.

(4) Look through the LCD monitor window on the rear of the Case to confirm

the picture and then press the shutter lever. Please note that the

viewfinder cannot be used, When the LCD monitor is used, the battery is

exhausted earlier. In order to avoid losing shutter chances due to an

exhausted battery, please always replace a battery with a fully charged

battery before each dive.

Q7 : How can I check for water leakage?

A7 : For confirmation, perform the advance test and the final test after loading

the camera. The advance test with immersing the Case without the

camera to the intended use depth to check for water leakage is the most

accurate test, but when this is difficult, it is safer to perform this test even

at a depth of 1 m or in a bathtub. The final test also can be performed in

a bathtub or a bucket.

Q8 : What are the causes for entry of water?

A8 : The main causes for the entry of water are shown below. Please check

them most carefully.

(1) Forgetting to install the O-ring

(2) The O-ring is partly or completely outside the groove.

(3) Damage, deterioration, or deformation of the O-ring

(4) Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter on the O-ring

(5) Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter on the O-ring groove or the O-

ring contact surface

(6) Catching of the strap, the bag of silica gel, etc. at the time of sealing the

Case

(7) Throwing the Case from a boat into the water, jumping with the Case into

the water, or other sudden application of strong forces onto the Case.

When entering the water, hand the Case over quietly or avoid impacts in

other ways.
