5. Handling After Shooting
Wipe off any waterdrop
After underwater shooting, remove any drops of water from the case. Use pressurized air or a soft, lint-
free cloth to carefully wipe away any moisture from the hinge between the front and rear lids, the shutter
release lever, the handgrip and the open/close dial.
Unload the digital camera
First, open the open/close dial of the Case and then open the rear lid carefully. Disconnect the hot shoe
cable if it is connected to the camera, then remove the Case’s zoom and mode dials so that they do not
interfere with removal of the camera. Gently remove the loaded digital camera, while holding it with both
hands.
Wash the Case with pure water
After use, seal the Case again after taking out the camera and wash it sufficiently in pure water as soon
as possible.
After use in sea water, it is effective to immerse it for a fixed time (30 minutes to 1 hour) in pure water to
remove any salt.
CAUTION:
Water left between the front and rear lids or between the case and port can get inside the case once it is
opened or the port is detached. Please dry these areas carefully.
CAUTION:
• When opening the case or removing the port, make sure no water from outside (e.g. drops from your hair
or the diving suit) gets inside the case and/or on the camera!
• Before opening the case or removing the port, ensure that your hands or gloves are completely clean (free
of sand, loose fibers, etc.).
• Never open the case or remove the port in areas where water could splash or spray or where sand or dust
could be blown in the air. When this cannot be avoided, for example if the battery or memory card needs to
be changed, the case and camera should be protected from the wind or spray with a plastic sheet or similar
object.)
• Never touch the digital camera and/or battery when your hands are wet with sea water.
CAUTION:
• Water leakage may be caused when a high water pressure is applied locally. Before washing the Case with
water, remove the digital camera from it.
• Operate the shutter lever and various buttons of this product in pure water to remove salt adhering to the
shaft. Do not disassemble for cleaning.
• Letting salt dry on the case may impair the function. Always wash off any salt after use.
