Case, trouble or breakage may be caused for the Case and/or
the loaded camera. Always avoid such handling.
(a) Hitting other objects
(b) Dropping
(c) Placing heavy objects on top of the Case

(4) When the Case is not used for a long time, trouble from

formation of mold etc. may be caused. Before use, confirm the
operation of all operation parts and perform the advance test
and the final test.

Q4 : What cautions must be observed when opening and closing the

Case?

A4 : Pay special attention to the following items.

(1) Do not open and close the Case at locations with water spray

or sand spray.

(2) Wipe off all waterdrops from the gap between the front lid and

the rear lid and around projections and recesses such as the
buckles. When this is not done, entry of waterdrops into the
Case is to be feared at the time of opening and closing.

(3) When opening the Case, take care that no water will drip from

your hair or body into the Case or onto the camera.

(4) When the Case is open, check that there is no attachment of

sand, fibers or other foreign matter to the O-ring and the O-ring
contact surface on the front lid.

(5) Do not touch the camera or the image storage with your hands

to which sea water is sticking.

(6) If you should detect waterdrops or other signs of water leakage

while shooting, immediately end the dive, perform the water
leakage test again, and confirm that there is no leakage. If the
camera is wet, wipe off any moisture and check the operation.

Q5 : How should the Case be handled after use?
A5 : After use, take out the camera as soon as possible and wash the

Case with pure water. In case of use in the ocean, it is effective to
immerse the Case for a certain time in pure water to remove any
salt. Operate the buttons and levers under water to turn the shafts
and wash off any salt. After washing, use a dry cloth without any
salt on it to wipe off any moisture and dry the Case in the shade.
Do not use hot air from a hair drier or the like and do not dry the
