Inspecting the O-ring and the
O-ring mating surface
Inspect the O-ring and the O-ring mating
surface in a location that is free from sand,
dust or moisture.
a Before opening the waterproof
cover, rinse off any sand and
completely wipe away any
water that may be present on
the camera body.
• Sand or water getting inside the camera may
cause a malfunction.
b Open the waterproof cover.
• For details on how to open and close the
waterproof cover, see page 12.
c Inspect the O-ring and the O-
ring mating surface.
• Be sure to wipe away any dirt, sand particles,
hair, dust, salt, lint or other foreign matter
adhering to the O-ring with a soft, lint-free
cloth. Even a single hair adhering to the O-ring
may cause a water leak.
• Tiny dirt particles that are difficult to see may
have adhered to the O-ring, so inspect the O-
ring by running it through your fingers.
• When wiping away dirt from the O-ring, take
care that cloth fibers do not remain on the O-
ring.
• When it is difficult to wipe away the dirt from
the O-ring, remove the O-ring and wash it with
water.
• Be sure to replace the O-ring with a new one if
it becomes cracked, warped, crushed, twisted,
split, scratched, rough or otherwise damaged.
