2. Advance Check of the Case

Advance check before use

This Case has been the subject of thorough quality control for the parts during the manufacturing process and thorough function inspections during the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is performed with a water pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance conforms to the specifications.

However, depending on the carrying and storage conditions, the maintenance status, etc., the waterproof function may be damaged. Before using, always perform the following advance checks.

Advance Check

① Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty Case to confirm that there is no water leakage.

We recommend to immerse the empty Case to the intended water depth, however, if you cannot perform this way, check the Case by referring "Water Leakage Test" (P.19).

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, the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the front lid
  • Damage to the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the front lid
  • Catching of the strap, silica gel, etc. when closing the Case Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated.

CAUTION:

If a leak is detected in normal handling, do not use the Case and contact Olympus.

3. Install the digital camera

Check the digital camera

Check the digital camera before loading it in the Case.

1. Battery Confirmation
