Install the O-ring.
Confirm that no foreign matter is attached, apply a thin coat of the accessory grease to the O-ring, and
fit the O-ring into the groove. At this time, confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove.
How to Apply Grease to the O-ring
1
Apply the exclusive lubricant
to each O-ring.
Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are
free of dirt, and squeeze about 5 mm of
lubricant onto a finger. (5 mm is the most
appropriate amount.)
2
Spread the lubricant onto
the entire circumference of
the O-ring.
Spread the grease onto the entire
circumference of the O-ring using 3 fingers.
Be careful not to use excessive force as this
may stretch the O-ring.
3
Check that the O-ring is free
of scratches or unevenness.
After spreading the lubricant, check visually
and by touch that the O-ring is not scratched
and that its surface is flat. If it is damaged in
any way, replace it with a brand-new O-ring.
4
Apply lubricant on the O-ring
contact surface.
Use the lubricant remaining on the fingers to
clean and lubricate the case’s contact surface.
CAUTION:
• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened to exchange
the battery or the image storage during shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of
water leakage.
• When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation
of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.
• Drying the Case with adhering salt may impair the function. Always wash off any salt after use.
