Remove the O-ring, wipe off any salt, sand, dust, etc., and also clean the

O-ring groove and the O-ring contact surface in the same way and then

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 provided O-ring remover.

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) Before shooting, look through the LCD monitor window on the rear of the

Case to confirm that a picture is displayed on the camera’s LCD monitor.

In order to avoid missing shutter chances due to an exhausted battery,

you should always replace the 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) When foreign matter (sand, fiber, hair, etc.) is stuck to the O-ring

grooves or O-ring contact surfaces.

(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.

Q9: What are the important points for O-ring maintenance?
