② Silicon O-ring (POL-E101)
③ Front cap
④ Rear cap
⑤ Zoom gear

2 Mounting the PPO-E01 on the Waterproof Case

This section describes how to mount this product on the PT-E series case. Before mounting, check that no foreign matter is attached to the O-rings, the port mount thread on the PT-E series case, or the O-ring contact surfaces. Apply a thin layer of the provided silicone O-ring grease.

Grease applying surface on O-rings

① Align the threaded section of the PPO-E01 with the port mount thread on the PT-E series case.
② Hold the PT-E series case firmly with one hand, hold the main body of the PPO-E01 with your other hand and screw it into the PT-E series by turning the PPO-E01 clockwise.
③ Resistance increases as the PPO- E01 is screwed in more deeply. However, be sure to screw it in all the way until there is no gap visible below the threaded section of the PPO-E01.

3 Dismounting the PPO-E01

① If any water is on the product, wipe it completely away and make sure that the product is dry.

② Holding the PT-E series case firmly with one hand, loosen the PPO-E01 by turning it about 90 degrees counterclockwise. If the PPO-E01 is attached too tightly to turn, wrap it with a piece of rubber or similar non-slip material.

③ After loosening the PPO-E01, point its lens downward and turn it further counterclockwise until it is separated from the PT-E series case. Be careful not to drop the PPO-E01 or PT-E series case.

CAUTION:· While dismounting the PPO-E01 from the case, water remaining on the PPO-E01 may splatter on the lens or camera. If this happens, wipe the water off the lens and camera with a dry cloth.

• Make sure that the port is completely dry before dismounting.

4 Attaching the Zoom Gear on the Lens

To control zooming of the camera lens, the provided zoom gear must be attached to the zoom ring of the lens.

① Turn the lens' zoom ring so that the index points to "25 mm."

② Check the position of the lock dial's hinge on the zoom gear, then turn the lock dial counterclockwise to release the lock and open the gear.

③ Open the zoom gear wide and align its hinge with the zoom index on the lens. Place the zoom gear on the lens and adjust the rotation direction of the zoom gear. At this time, bring the gear section of the zoom gear to the left of the hinge as shown in the illustration.

④ Set the front-rear orientation of the zoom gear by aligning the edge of the hinge with the end of the rubber section on the lens's zoom ring.

⑤ After positioning the zoom gear, place it against the lens's zoom ring (taking care not to displace the zoom gear), and turn the zoom gear's lock dial all the way clockwise to lock it.

CAUTION: If the zoom gear is turned in the wrong direction or its front-rear orientation is incorrect, zooming cannot be controlled properly. Be sure to attach the zoom gear correctly.

5 Loading the Camera and Lens

After attaching the zoom gear to the camera lens, insert the camera and lens into the PT-E series case on which the PPO-E01 is mounted.

① Screw the camera table provided with the PT-E series case firmly into the bottom of the camera.

② Remove the eyecup from the camera's viewfinder. If a lens cap or filter is attached to the lens or the strap is attached to the camera, remove them as well.

③ Lift the PT-E series case's power switch dial, mode dial knob and zoom dial, and turn the case's camera table lock lever counterclockwise to release the lock. Refer to the PT-E series case's instruction manual for instructions of how to attach the hot shoe cable for the flash.

④ Confirm that the camera's power switch is OFF. Align the "25 mm" zoom position with the zoom index of the lens and, while pulling out the zoom dial of the PT-E series case further, place the camera table (with camera attached) on the camera table mount on the inner side of the front lid of the PT-E series case.

⑤ After inserting the camera, turn the PT-E series case's camera table lock lever all the way clockwise to lock the camera table. Then, push in the zoom dial on the case and engage it with the zoom gear attached to the lens. Turn the zoom dial to confirm that it can control zooming.

⑥ Push in the PT-E series case's power switch dial and mode dial knob. Turn the power switch dial and mode dial knob and confirm that they can control the camera power ON-OFF and mode switching. Connect the hot shoe mount section of the hot shoe cable that has been connected to the PT-E series case to the hot shoe of the camera.

⑦ Attach the rear lid of the PT-E series case and lock the four buckles (two diagonally located buckles first, and then the other two diagonally located buckles). Underwater shooting is now possible.

6 Maintenance

For safe use of this product, always perform maintenance after each diving session.

For details, refer to "Handling After Shooting" and "Maintaining the Waterproof Function" in the PT-E series case instruction manual. Apply the same procedures to this product.

① After shooting, remove the inserted camera and lens, then re-seal the empty case and immerse it in tap water to remove any salt as soon as possible.

② After making sure that the PT-E series case is completely dry, dismount this product from the case.

③ Remove the O-rings from this product using the provided pick for removing O-rings. Take care not to damage the O-rings.

④ Remove sand and dust from the O-rings. Pinch each O-ring between your fingers and lightly rub the entire circumference to check for foreign matter, scratches and cracks.

⑤ If any foreign matter is attached to the O-ring grooves, remove it using a clean, lint-free cloth or cotton swab. Also remove any foreign matter from the O-ring contact surfaces and from the port mount thread on the PT-E series case.

⑥ After removing foreign matter, apply the provided grease to the O-rings and fit them into the O-ring grooves. To apply grease to each O-ring, squeeze a drop of grease about the size of a grain onto your finger and lightly rub the entire circumference of the O-ring to spread the grease thinly and evenly.
