After closing the case tightly, check the seal between the front and rear lids and the connection between the port and case to make sure the O-rings are not twisted, that they sit properly in the grooves, and that no foreign matter has been caught between the two parts.

CAUTION:

Hair, fiber, and other narrow items are not very apparent, but they may cause entry of water, therefore special attention is required.

Water Leakage Test

The final test after loading the camera is explained below. Always perform this test. It can be performed easily in a water tank or a bathtub. The required time is about five minutes.

Simple water leakage test	Explanatory image	Hints
① Place the Case slowly into the water.		As the rear lid of the Case is transparent, waterdrops entering into it can be confirmed easily.
② At first, immerse the Case for only three seconds.		In case of trouble with the O-ring, three seconds is enough for water to enter. Are there air bubbles coming out between the lids?
③ Check that no water has entered the Case.		Remove the Case from the water and check that no water has leaked at the inside of the Case.
④ Next, immerse the Case for 30 seconds.		Check carefully for air bubbles! Do not perform any operation yet, but just observe.
⑤ Check that no water has entered the Case.		Remove the Case from the water and check that no water has leaked at the bottom of the Case.
⑥ Next, check by immersing for three minutes.		Check carefully for air bubbles! Try operation of the buttons used frequently. Check carefully for air bubbles!
⑦ This is the final check. Has the silica gel become moist?		Has the silica gel become moist? Please check carefully!
⑧ If there is no water leakage and everything is functioning correctly, you are ready to start shooting underwater.		Now everything is all right!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Dry the Case

After washing with pure water, use a lint-free soft cloth without any salt on it to wipe off any waterdrop and dry the Case completely at a well ventilated location in the shade.

CAUTION:

Do not use hot air from a hair drier or the like for drying and do not expose the Case to direct sunlight, as this may accelerate deterioration and deformation of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring, leading to leakage of water.

When wiping the Case, take care not to cause scratches.

6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function

The O-ring is a consumable product. Before each use, perform proper maintenance. Always be sure to perform the O-ring maintenance operation as described below. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.

Perform at the location without sand or dust, after washing and drying your hands.

Remove the O-ring

Open the Case and remove the O-ring.

Procedure

① Insert the O-ring remover into the gap between the O-ring and O-ring groove wall.
② Bring the tip of the inserted O-ring remover below the O-ring. (Be careful not to damage the groove with the tip of the O-ring remover.)
③ Lift the O-ring, pinch it with your fingertips and pull it out of the Case.

Remove any sand, dirt, etc.

After visually checking that dirt has been removed from the O-ring, check for attached sand and other foreign matter, as well as for damage and cracks by squeezing the entire circumference of the O-ring lightly with your fingertips.

Remove attached foreign matter from the O-ring groove with a clean cloth or a cotton swab. Also remove any sand or dirt attached to any part of the Case that comes into contact with the O-ring.

CAUTION:

• When a sharp object is used to remove the O-ring or to clean the inside of the O-ring groove, the Case and the O-ring may be damaged and water leakage may be caused.
• When the O-ring is checked with the fingertips, take care not to stretch the O-ring.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar solvents or chemicals detergents to clean the O-ring. When such chemicals are used, it is likely that the O-ring will be damaged or that its deterioration will be accelerated.

Install the O-ring

Confirm that no foreign matter is attached, apply a thin coat of the accessory grease to the O-ring, and fit the O-ring into the groove. At this time, confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove.

How to Apply Grease to the O-ring

① Apply only Olympus exclusive lubricant to each O-ring.		Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are free of dirt, and squeeze about 5 mm of lubricant onto a finger. (5 mm is the most appropriate amount.)
② Spread the lubricant onto the entire circumference of the O-ring.		Spread the grease onto the entire circumference of the O-ring using 3 fingers. Be careful not to use excessive force as this may stretch the O-ring.
③ Check that the O-ring is free of scratches or unevenness.		After spreading the lubricant, check visually and by touch that the O-ring is not scratched and that its surface is flat. If it is damaged in any way, replace it with a brand-new O-ring.
④ Apply lubricant on the O-ring contact surface.		Use the lubricant remaining on the fingers to clean and lubricate the case's contact surface.

CAUTION:

• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened every shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.
• When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.

Examples of foreign matter sticking to the O-ring
Hair

Fibers

Grains of sand

Replace consumable products

• The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of times the Case is used, it is recommended that the O-ring should be replaced by a new piece at least once a year.
• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the usage conditions and the storage conditions. Replace the O-ring even before a year has passed if it shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of elasticity.

CAUTION:

• Please use genuine Olympus silicone grease, silica gel and O-ring.
• Do not try to replace the O-ring by yourself.
• We recommend to perform the check periodically.

Maintenance of the threaded sections on the TTL cable and TTL cable connector

If the threaded sections used to connect the TTL cable to the TTL cable connector are not maintained properly, salt and other seawater residue may adhere to the TTL cable and prevent it from being disconnected.

After use in seawater, clean off any salt, sand, or other residue as soon as possible, then dry the equipment thoroughly. Clean the threaded sections with a cotton swab and apply a thin, uniform layer of silicone grease (provided with this case).

Clean and apply silicone grease to these sections.

Maintenance of the TTL Connector Cap

After removing the TTL connector cap from the Underwater Case, be sure to clean and grease the O-ring.

Use the maintenance adapter to remove the O-ring unit from the TTL connector cap.

① Insert the adapter by aligning its pin with the hole on the cap.
② Turn the adapter counterclockwise to remove the O-ring unit.
③ After removing the O-ring attached to the O-ring unit, clean the O-ring groove and apply silicone grease to the O-ring. Then, re-attach the O-ring to the O-ring unit.
