Advance Test
1. Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty
Case to the intended water depth to confirm that there is no water
leakage.
2. Main causes of water leakage are as follows.
The O-ring has not been installed.
A part of the O-ring or the entire O-ring is outside the specified
groove.
O-ring damage, cracks, deterioration or deformation.
Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the O-ring, O-
ring groove or O-ring contact surface.
Damage to the O-ring groove or O-ring contact surface.
When closing the Case, check for catching of the hand strap and
silica gel after the above causes have been eliminated.
: • The most suitable method for checking water leakage
is to immerse the Case to the intended water depth.
When this is difficult, water leakage also can be
checked at a shallow depth with no water pressure. Do
not feel that this is troublesome, but perform this test.
• If the advance test should show water leakage with
normal handling, stop using the Case and contact
your dealer or an Olympus service station.
