Insertion of silica gel
Before sealing the Case, insert the accessory silica gel bag for
prevention of fogging between the bottom of the camera and the
Case. Insert the bag with the glued longer side to the inside.
:
• Insert the silica gel all the way at the specified location
and with the specified orientation. When the orientation is
not correct, the silica gel bag will be caught when the
Case is sealed and water leakage will be caused.
• When it is tried to seal the Case with the bag inserted
only part of the way, the silica gel bag will be caught by
the O-ring and water leakage will be caused.
• Once silica gel has been used, the moisture absorption
performance will be impaired. Always exchange the
silica gel when the Case is opened and closed.
CAUTION
Pay attention to the orientation.
Check the loading status.
Always perform the following final checks before sealing the Case.
Has the silica gel been inserted all the way at the specified
position?
Has the O-ring at the Case opening part been installed properly?
Are the O-ring and the O-ring contact surface on the front lid free of
dirt and other foreign matter?
:
• Seal the Case by turning both buckle lock levers
down in arrow direction. When one of the buckles is
left open, the Case will not be sealed and water
leakage will be caused.
CAUTION
Seal the Case.
When the rear lid is closed (quietly, so that the O-ring will not come out of the
groove), the buckles are engaged with the edge of the rear lid, and the buckle
lock levers are pushed down in arrow direction, the Case will be sealed airtight.
Install the special balance weight.
Install the special balance weight to the tripod mounting thread at the
bottom of the Case. Install the balance weight securely by tightening
the accessory screw of the balance weight.
