Marine Case
User’s Manual ENGLISH
Names of the parts
Please read before use.
This marine case is a precision instrument designed
to permit safe video recording under high water
pressure. Please pay careful attention when handling
the unit before and after use, as explained in this
user’s manual.
Each part of the marine case has been subject to
strict controls during the manufacturing process, and
the individual functions have faced stringent tests
during the assembly process. Each marine case has
also had to pass water-proof inspections using high-
pressure water testers. However, damage can some-
times occur during transport and distribution, or
during storage after purchase, so before diving
always carry out the following pre-use test to verify
safety.
Pre-use test
When using the marine case for the first time after pur-
chase, or after it has been in storage for a long time, dive
to the usage depth with only the empty marine case
(without mounting the camcorder inside), and test for
water leaks.

Mounting method and operating method for
each part
1. Remove the two buckles on the marine case and open
the front lid.
2. Remove the camcorder hand strap.
3. Set the camcorder setting dial to Full Auto.
4. Pull out the camcorder
sliding color viewfinder
and insert the camcorder
into the marine case.
5. Fit the switch shaft projec-
tion section in the marine
case onto the camcorder
power dial’s outer edge so
that "PLAY", "OFF" and
"REC" on the power dial can be seen.
Make sure the switch shaft's pins fit into the power
dial's outer edge.
6. Rotate the switch shaft in
the direction of the arrow
and move the camcorder
power dial to the "REC"
position.
7. Place the included anti-
fogging silica gel in the gap
between the camcorder
and the marine case to
prevent fogging in the marine case.
8. Before sealing the marine case, check that there is no
sand, dirt, or other foreign matter on the O-ring
mounted on the front lid or on the O-ring contact
surface on the main unit.
Also make sure that the inserted silica gel bag is not
pinched. If you dive with foreign matter trapped in
these areas, water will leak.
9. Check that the O-ring on
the front lid is correctly
mounted in the groove,
then press in the front lid.
Flip down the two buckles
in the directions indicated
by the arrows in the figure
on the right to seal the
marine case.
10. Press the switch shaft centre section button once to
start recording from the camcorder (
1 in the figure on
the right). Press the button again to stop recording ( 1
in the figure on the right).
11. The zoom can be adjusted with the zoom lever.
12. When you are finished
shooting, rotate the shaft
switch in the direction of
the arrow to switch the
camcorder power dial to
the Off position (
2 in the
figure on the right).
