6 Using the Camera under Water
The waterproof case will allow you to use your camera in the rain, at the beach or on the ski slopes. You
can also use it underwater at depths down to 30 metres (Maximum) within 30 minutes. Before you use the
waterproof case, please make sure the case is functioning correctly and does not leak. Close the waterproof
case before installing the camera and hold it underwater at an approximate depth of 15cm for several
minutes to check for leaks. If it leaks, contact your customer support.
The buttons on the waterproof case are the same as those on the camera. For more details regarding the
buttons, please refer to Page 2.
For Safety/Handling Precautions for the waterproof case, please refer to section Tips, Your
Safety & Maintenance.

• If images are taken underwater in dark environment, please switch the built-in flash light ON and then place the
camera into the waterproof case.

• Using the Rubber Ring
Please check the rubber ring before using. Check for any dirt, grains of sand, hair, dust, salt, thread scraps
in the rubber ring and wipe off with a soft cloth or tissue paper.
Apply a coat of grease onto the rubber ring
•
Apply a small drop of grease onto the rubber ring and evenly coat the entire surface of the rubber ring with the end of
your finger.
•
Do not use paper or cloth as fibre may stick to the rubber ring.
•
Apply a thin and coating grease to the surface of the rubber ring, while grease can protect the rubber ring, also prevent
water.
•
Set the rubber ring immediately after you have applied a small drop of grease onto the rubber ring. Remember not to
leave the greased rubber ring on a desk or other surface.
Place the rubber ring in the groove
Place the rubber ring evenly in its groove after applying a coat of grease. Please do not pull the rubber ring,
make sure there is no dirt on the rubber ring, and the rubber ring is not protruding, twisted.
NOTE:
Please take a spare rubber ring with you. This enables you to replace when trouble occurs.
