of the marine case and pull the camcorder out.
NOTES ON THE O-RING:
The O-ring is made of rubber and is mounted on the front lid.
The O-ring prevents water by forming a watertight seal with its soft and
smooth surface fitting snugly against the surface of the device from leaking
in. If you dive deeply and are exposed to higher water pressure, the
contact area of the O-ring equally increases as water pressure becomes
higher, which ensures a watertight seal. The soft and smooth surface of the
O-ring is essential for the watertight seal.
Refer to the camcorder’s instructions for more information.
