What is the O-ring?

≥ The O-ring is a waterproofing packing used for underwater cameras, watches and

diving equipment.

≥ The O-ring keeps the Case waterproof by sealing the gap between the rear case

and the front case.

∫ How the O-ring keeps the Case waterproof

The gum comes into contact with the sides of the Case making the

Case waterproof and stopping water from entering from the gap.

When water pressure acts on the O-ring, the surface of the O-ring

expands and the Case is sealed more tightly.

The O-ring prevents water leakage by coming into uniform

contact with the sides of the Case. Therefore, good care of the

O-ring is very important. Incorrect care of the O-ring may

cause water leakage.

Check the O-ring.

≥ Check that there is no dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt crystals, lint or grease on the

O-ring. If you find any of these, remove them with a soft, dry cloth.

≥ There may be dirt on the O-ring that you cannot see. Check if there is any dirt by

rubbing your finger over the O-ring.

≥ Be careful not to leave any fibers from the dry cloth on the O-ring when wiping it.

≥ Check that the O-ring is not ripped, twisted, squashed, frayed or scratched and

that there is no sand sticking to it. Replace the O-ring in these cases.

3

Inspect the O-ring groove.

≥ Grains of sand or hardened salt crystals may get into the O-ring groove.

Remove them carefully with an air spray or a cotton swab. If you use a cotton

swab, be careful not to leave any fibers from it in the O-ring groove.

≥ Inspect the front case groove as well as the rear case (side where O-ring is set)

Preparation -Setting the O-ring- (continued)

4

Apply the grease (supplied).

Apply O-ring grease to clean the surface of the O-ring and replenish the oil.

≥ Apply a rice-grain size of grease (supplied) evenly to the O-ring with the tip of

your finger. (Do not apply the grease with paper or a cloth. The fibers from the

paper or cloth may stick to the O-ring.)

≥ If there is too much grease on the O-ring, dirt and dust will stick to it causing

water to leak in. Therefore, hold the O-ring between the balls of your finger and

thumb and gently remove excess grease.

≥ By applying the O-ring grease thinly and evenly, the O-ring fits flexibly to the

groove of the marine case and keeps it airtight.

≥

Use only the specified grease. If you use other types of grease, the

surface of the O-ring may be damaged causing water leakage.

5

Fit the O-ring evenly into the O-ring groove.

Check the following:

≥ There is no dirt sticking to the O-ring.

≥ The O-ring has not come out.

≥ The O-ring is not twisted.

≥ The O-ring is not stretched too much.

Inspect the O-ring one last time.

Check the following one more time:

≥ There is no dirt sticking to the O-ring.

≥ The O-ring has not come out.

≥ The O-ring is not twisted.

≥ There are no scratches or squashed parts on the O-ring.

Thoroughly wipe any grease off your hands with a dry cloth. Afterwards

wash thoroughly with fresh water.

7

Close the buckle.

≥ Check that no foreign materials are sticking to the outer surface of the O-ring or

the buckle on the front case and then close the Case.

∫

Notes

≥ To keep the Case completely airtight, do not scratch the surface of the O-ring that

comes into contact with the sides of the Case.

≥ Never use an O-ring that has been scratched or damaged by dirt etc. This will cause

water leakage.

≥ Each time you use the Case, remove the O-ring and check that there is no dirt,

sand, hair or other foreign materials in the O-ring groove and then apply a thin coat

of grease (supplied). If you apply too much grease, dirt and the dust may stick to the

O-ring causing water leakage.

≥ Be sure to bring a spare O-ring in case the O-ring that you are using becomes

damaged or scratched.

Preparation -Checking the Case is Waterproof-

After setting the O-ring, check that no water leaks into the Case by

submerging it in a water tank, bath tub etc. for more than about

3 minutes before attaching a digital camera.

≥ Do not use the Case in water over 40 °C/104 °F. The heat may damage the Case or

cause water leakage.

‘

Carry out the same test after attaching the digital camera to the Case. (P15)

∫

Notes

≥ If bubbles rise from the Case when it is submerged in water or there is water inside

the Case when you take it out of the water, there is water leakage. In these cases,

consult your dealer.

≥ If water leaks into the Case while you are using it and the digital camera is

submerged in water, remove the battery immediately. Hydrogen gas can cause

burning or explosion if there is a fire nearby.

≥ If you dive quickly while holding the Case or throw the Case from a ship into the sea,

some water leakage may occur because of high pressure. This is not a malfunction

of the Case. Always dive slowly into the water.

≥ The Case is designed to be used at a depth of up to 40 m/130 feet. If you dive

deeper than 40 m/130 feet, part of the Case may be damaged beyond repair.

≥ When closing the Case, be careful that no foreign materials get caught between the

O-ring and the O-ring groove. Even one strand of hair or one grain of sand can

cause water leakage.

∫ Attaching the weights

About using the weights

Attach the weights to adjust to the preferred buoyancy when using the marine case.

Use them as necessary.

Refer to the following about buoyancy underwater.

1 If you use the digital camera and the marine case only:

They will float slowly in fresh water or seawater. (Plus buoyancy)

2 If you use the digital camera, the marine case and 1 weight:

They will float even more slowly in fresh water or seawater than

1.

(Plus buoyancy)

3 If you use the digital camera, the marine case and 2 weights:

They will sink slowly in fresh water or seawater. (Minus buoyancy)

How to attach the weights

If you use 1 weight, align the protruding part of

the weight with the tripod receptacle on the

marine case and then using a slotted screwdriver

or similar, use the supplied weights attachment

screw to attach to the tripod receptacle.
