6. 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 and the open/close dial.
Unload the digital camera
Open the Case carefully and take the digital camera out.
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 left between the front and rear lids can get inside the case once it is opened. Please dry these areas
carefully.
CAUTION:
• When opening the case, 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, ensure that your hands or gloves are completely clean (free of sand, loose fibers,
etc.).
• Never open the case 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.
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.
