Wipe the inside of the Case with a soft cloth not causing any fibers.
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 accessory pick for O-ring removal.
Q6:How should I take pictures under water?
A6:Please observe the following items for shooting under water.
(1)Fix the protector 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)Look through the LCD monitor window on the rear of the Case to
confirm the picture and then press the shutter lever. Please note that
the optical viewfinder cannot be used, When the LCD monitor is used,
the battery is exhausted earlier. In order to avoid losing shutter chances
due to an exhausted battery, you should always replace a 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)Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter on the O-ring groove or the O-
ring contact surface
(6)Catching of the strap, the bag of silica gel, etc. at the time of sealing the
