2. Preliminary Check of the Case
Check the product before use.
Before using the case underwater, be sure to confirm that the case
is leak-free by performing the preliminary test before installing the
camera. After installing the camera, perform the water leakage test
again.
Preliminary test
1. Confirm that the case’s waterproof packing is free of sand, dirt or
other foreign matter.
If any foreign matter is attached, remove it completely.
2. Before installing the digital camera in the case, immerse the
empty case at the water depth at which you intend to use it to
confirm that there is no water leakage.
3. Main causes of water leakage are as follows.
Waterproof packing damage, cracks, deterioration or
deformation.
Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the
waterproof packing or the waterproof packing contact surface.
: • The best way to check for water leakage is to immerse
the case at the water depth at which you intend to use it.
If this is too difficult, water leakage also can be checked
at a shallow depth with no water pressure. It is important
to always perform this test.
• If a leak is detected in normal handling during
testing, do not use the Case and contact Olympus.
