  • Operate the shutter lever and each 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 water drop 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.

8. 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. When sealing this product, make sure that no hairs, fibers, sand particles or other foreign matter stick not only to the O-ring, but also to the contact surface (front cover). Even a single hair or a single grain of sand may cause water leakage. Please check with special care.

Applying grease to the O-ring

① Apply only Olympus exclusive grease to O-ring.Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are free of dirt, and squeeze about 5 mm of grease onto a finger. (5 mm is the most appropriate amount.)
② Spread the grease 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 grease, 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.

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.

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:

  • 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.
