For Prevention of Water Leakage Accidents
When water leakage occurs while this product is being used, repair of the camera housed in this product
may become impossible. Please use while observing the following cautions.
1
When sealing this product, make sure that no hair, fiber, sand particle or other foreign matter stick to
the O-ring, and also to the contact surface. Even a single strand of hair or a single grain of sand may
cause water leakage. Please check with special care.
2 The O-ring is a consumable product. Please replace it at least once a year with a new piece. Before
each use, perform the proper maintenance.
3 Deterioration of the O-ring will accelerate according to the usage conditions and the storage
conditions. Immediately replace the O-ring with a new piece if it is damaged, cracked, or has lost its
elasticity.
4 During maintenace of O-ring, clean the inside of the O-ring groove and confirm the absence of dirt,
dust, sand, and other foreign matter.
5 Apply the specified silicon O-ring grease to the O-ring.
6 The waterproof function is not effective if the O-ring is not installed correctly. When installing the O-
ring, take care that it does not project from the groove and that it is not twisted. Also, when sealing
the Case, close the lid after confirming that the O-ring has not come out of the groove.
7 This product is an airtight construction made of plastic (polycarbonate). When it is left for a long time
in a car, on a boat, at the beach, or at other places reaching a high temperature, or when it is
subjected to uneven external force for a long time, it may be deformed and the waterproof function
may be lost. Pay sufficient attention to temperature control. Also do not place heavy objects onto the
product during storage or transport, and avoid unreasonable storage.
8 When the O-ring contact surface is pressed strongly from the outside of the Case, or when the Case
is twisted, the waterproof function may be lost. Take care not to exert excessive force.
9 Please use the Case only after performing the advance test and the final check.
0 If you detect any signs of leakage, such as water drops or fogging, while photographing, get out of
the water immediately and remove any moisture from the camera and the Case. Then perform the
leak test described in “Final check”.
