* The above video camera models may not be available in all countries/regions.

The sports pack SPK-HCD is water- and moisture- resistant, making it possible to use 

the Sony digital video camera recorder (referred to below as “video camera”).

Usable at the depth as low as 5 meters (17 feet) under water.

For using your video camera with this sports pack, refer to the operating 

instructions of the video camera.

Before you start recording, make sure that the video camera is working correctly 

and there is no water leakage.

Sony does not accept liability for damage to the video camera, battery, etc., when 

using the sports pack or for the cost of recording if water leakage occurs as a 

result of incorrect use.

Precautions on use

Do not subject the front glass to strong shock, as it may crack.

Avoid opening the sports pack in the sea or at the beach. Preparation such as 

installing and changing the cassette tape, “Memory Stick Duo” and disc should be 

done in a place with low humidity and no salty air.

Do not throw the sports pack into the water.

Avoid using the sports pack in places with storong waves.

Avoid using the sports pack under the following situations:

in a very hot or humid place.

in water hotter than 40 ˚C (104 ˚F).

at temperatures lower than 0 ˚C (32 ˚F).

In these situations moisture condensation or water leakage may occur and damage 

the equipment.

Avoid installing the video camera in a humid place. Installing in a humid place will 

lead to condensation.

Use the sports pack for no longer than one hour at a time in temperatures above 35  

˚C (95 ˚F).

Do not leave the sports pack under direct sunlight for a long period of time. If you 

cannot avoid leaving the sports pack under direct sunlight, be sure to cover the pack 

with a towel or other protection.

If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm 

water. If the sports pack is left with sun oil on its body, the surface of the sports pack 

may become discolored or damaged. (such as cracks on the surface)

Water Leakage

If water happens to leak in, stop exposing the sports pack to water immediately.

If the video camera gets wet, take it to the nearest Sony service facility immediately.

Repair costs must be borne by the customer.

Handling the O-ring

What is the O-ring?

The O-ring ensures the waterproof qualities of the sports pack or other equipment. (See 

illustration 

)

O-ring maintenance is very important. Failure to carry out O-ring 

maintenance according to the instructions may lead to water leakage and 

cause the sports pack to sink.

Handling the O-ring

Fit the O-ring

Avoid fitting the O-ring in dusty or sandy locations.

1  Remove the O-ring. (See illustration 

)

To remove the O-ring, press it and slide it in the direction of the arrow as 

illustrated. The O-ring has enough slack to be able to be removed easily.

Be careful not to scratch the O-ring with your fingernail.

Do not use a pointed or metal object to remove the O-ring. This kind of object 

may scratch or damage the sports pack groove or O-ring.

2  Inspect the O-ring.

Check carefully for the following. If found, wipe off them with a soft cloth or tissue 

paper.

Is there any dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt, thread scraps, etc. on the O-ring?

Is there any old grease on the O-ring?

 Dirt

 Sand

 Hair

 Dust

 Salt

 Thread 

scraps

Lightly run your fingertip around the O-ring to check for any invisible dirt.

Be careful not to leave any cloth or tissue paper fibers on the O-ring after wiping it.

Check the O-ring for cracks, skewing, distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand 

inclusion, etc. Replace the O-ring if it is cracked or scratched.

 Cracks

 Skewing

 Distortion

 Fine 

Splitting

 Scratches

 Sand 

inclusion

3  Inspect the O-ring groove.

Grains of sand or hardened salt sometimes get into the groove. Carefully remove 

them by blowing with an air spray or by wiping them with a cotton wool bud. Be 

careful not to leave any fibers from the cotton wool bud inside.

4  Inspect the contact surface on the other side of the O-ring in the same way.

5  Apply a coating of grease to the O-ring.

Use your fingertips to thinly coat the entire surface of the O-ring with 

a small 

drop of grease

. (See illustration 

)

Do not use paper or cloth as fibers may stick to the O-ring.

Make sure there is always a thin coating of grease on the surface of the O-ring. 

Grease protects the O-ring and prevents wear.

Fit the O-ring immediately after coating it with grease. Do not leave the greased 

O-ring on a table or other surface.

6  Fit the O-ring into the groove of the sports pack.

Fit the O-ring evenly into the groove paying attention to the following points:


Check for dirt on the O-ring.

Check the O-ring is not twisted. (See illustration 

)

How to check for water leakage

After replacing the O-ring, close the sports pack without inserting the equipment you 

are going to use. Immerse the sports pack in water to a depth of about 15 cm for about 

three minutes and check that no water leaks in.

Maintenance

If the sports pack is allowed to dry with sea water still in the O-ring groove, salt crystals 

form which may impair the O-ring’s functions.

O-ring serviceable life

The serviceable life of the O-ring varies with frequency of use of the sports pack and 

conditions. Generally, it is about one year.

Even if the O-ring is not cracked or scratched, deformation or wear reduces its 

waterproof qualities. Replace the O-ring with a new one if you find cracks, skewing, 

distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand inclusion, etc.

After replacing, check that no water leaks in.

Grease

Use the grease supplied. Using other manufacturer’s grease will damage the O-ring, and 

cause water leaks.

Anti-fogging lens solution

Coat the surface of the front glass with the supplied anti-fogging lens solution. This is 

effective in anti-fogging.

How to use the anti-fogging lens solution

Apply 2 or 3 drops of the liquid to the front glass and wipe evenly to spread the liquid 

out by using the swabs, a soft cloth or tissue paper.

Desiccant

To increase the anti-fogging effect in addition to using the anti-fogging lens solution, 

use the desiccant supplied. Insert new one desiccant into the sports pack 1 to 2 hours 

before recording. Put the desiccant in the camera mounting shoe rail space inside the 

front body. (See illustration 

) Be careful not to catch the desiccant with the camera 

mounting shoe. Keep the remaining desiccant in its original bag, and keep the bag 

firmly closed. Do not return the desiccant to the bag after use, or you will reduce the 

effect of the unused desiccant. Use a new desiccant to increase the anti-fogging effect. 

Do not leave the desiccant in the sports pack.

O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution

You can obtain the O-ring, grease and anti-fogging lens solution at the nearest Sony 

dealer.

O-ring (model No. 3-098-143-01)

Grease (model No. 2-582-620-01)

Anti-fogging lens solution (model No. 3-072-039-01)

Maintenance

After recording in a location with a sea breeze, wash the sports pack thoroughly in 

fresh water with the buckles fastened to remove salt and sand, then wipe with a soft 

dry cloth. It is recommended that you submerge the sports pack in fresh water for 

about 30 minutes. If it is left with salt on it, metal portions may be damaged or rust 

may form and cause water leakage. Be careful not to hit the sports pack with other 

equipment when submerging the sports pack in fresh water. When the water pressure 

is low and the bend of the O-ring is small, an excessive impact may cause water 

leakage.

If sun oil is on the sports pack, be sure to wash it off thoroughly using lukewarm 

water.

Clean the inside of the sports pack with a soft dry cloth. Do not wash the inside of the 

sports pack. 

Be sure to perform the above maintenance each time you use the sports pack. Do not 

use any type of solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner for cleaning, as this might 

damage the surface finish of the sports pack.

When storing the sports pack

Attach the spacer supplied with your sports pack to prevent wear of the O-ring. (See 

illustration 

)

Close the sports pack without fastening the buckles to prevent wear of the O-ring.

Prevent dust from collecting on the O-ring.

Avoid storing the sports pack in a cold, very hot or humid place, or together with 

naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage the unit.

N’utilisez pas le caisson en cas de fortes vagues.

N’utilisez pas le caisson dans les conditions suivantes :

dans un endroit très chaud ou humide ;

dans une eau à plus de 40 °C (104 °F) ;

sous des températures inférieures à 0 °C (32 °F).

Dans de telles conditions, le matériel pourrait être endommagé par une condensation 

ou une infiltration d’eau.

Evitez d’installer le caméscope dans un endroit humide. De la condensation risquerait 

de se former à l’intérieur.

N’utilisez pas le caisson plus d’une heure lorsque la température est supérieure à 35  

°C (95 °F).

Evitez d’exposer le caisson à la lumière directe du soleil pendant une période 

prolongée. Si ce n’est pas possible, veillez à le couvrir d’une serviette ou d’une autre 

protection.

Si de la crème solaire est tombée sur le caisson, prenez soin de l’éliminer 

convenablement avec de l’eau tiède. A défaut, la surface du caisson risque d’être 

décolorée ou endommagée (craquelures).

Infiltration d’eau

Si de l’eau s’infiltre dans le caisson, arrêtez immédiatement de l’exposer à l’eau.

Si le caméscope est mouillé, portez-le immédiatement chez le revendeur Sony le plus 

proche.

Les frais de réparation seront à la charge de l’utilisateur.

Entretien du joint torique

Qu’est-ce que le joint torique ?

Le joint torique garantit l’étanchéité du caisson ou de tout autre équipement. (Voir 

illustration 

)

L’entretien du joint torique est très important. Le non-respect des 

instructions d’entretien du joint torique peut provoquer des infiltrations  

d’eau et faire couler le caisson.

Entretien du joint torique

Fit the O-ring

Evitez de fixer le joint torique si vous vous trouvez dans un lieu sablonneux ou 

poussiéreux.

1  Retirez le joint torique. (Voir illustration 

)

Pour retirer le joint torique, appuyez légèrement dessus, puis faites-le glisser 

dans le sens de la flèche, comme indiqué sur l’illustration. Le joint torique est 

suffisamment lâche pour permettre un retrait aisé.

Prenez garde à ne pas érafler le joint torique avec vos ongles.

N’utilisez pas d’objet pointu ou métallique pour retirer le joint. Ce type d’objet 

risque, en effet, d’érafler ou d’endommager la rainure du caisson ou le joint torique.

2  Inspectez le joint torique.

Vérifiez attentivement la présence éventuelle des éléments ci-dessous. Le cas 

échéant, nettoyez le joint à l’aide d’un chiffon doux ou d’un mouchoir en papier.

Saletés, sable, cheveux, poussière, sel, particules, etc.

Passez légèrement votre doigt sur le joint torique pour détecter d’éventuelles saletés 

invisibles.

Assurez-vous de ne pas laisser de fibres de tissu ou de papier sur le joint torique 

après l’avoir nettoyé.

Assurez-vous que le joint torique ne comporte aucune craquelure, déformation, 

distorsion, coupure, éraflure, incrustation de sable. Remplacez-le s’il est fendu ou 

éraflé.

3  Inspectez la rainure du joint torique.

Des grains de sable ou de sel s’incrustent parfois dans la rainure. Retirez-les 

soigneusement à l’aide d’un pulvérisateur à air ou d’un disque de coton. Prenez garde 

à ne pas laisser de fibres de coton à l’intérieur.

4  Inspectez de la même maniére la surface de contact de l’autre côté du joint 

torique.

5  Appliquez une couche de graisse sur le joint torique.

Avec les doigts, étalez 

une petite goutte de graisse

 en fine couche sur toute la 

surface du joint torique. (Voir illustration 

)

N’utilisez pas de mouchoir en papier ni de tissu, car les fibres risquent de coller au 

joint.

Assurez-vous qu’une fine couche de graisse recouvre en permanence la surface du 

joint. La graisse protège le joint et prévient l’usure.

Fixez le joint immédiatement après l’avoir enduit de graisse. Ne posez pas le joint 

enduit de graisse sur une table ou une autre surface.
