If water leaks into the case due to careless use of

for any damage that may occur to the internal 
equipment and materials (video camera, SD card,

This marine case is a precision instrument 
designed to permit safe video recording under 
high water pressure. Please pay careful attention 
when handling the unit before and after use, as 
explained in this user’s manual.
Each part of the marine case has been subject to 
strict controls during the manufacturing process, 
and the individual functions have faced stringent 
tests during the assembly process. Each marine 
case has also had to pass waterproof inspections 
using high-pressure water testers. However, 
damage can sometimes occur during transport 
and distribution, or during storage after purchase, 
so before diving always carry out the following 
pre-use test to verify safety.

Pre-use test

Be sure to perform the following pre-use test 
before diving.

Allow 5 or 6 minutes to ensure there are no 
leaks.
Be sure to perform this test to ensure the 
safety of your camera.
