O-ring and Drip-proof packing (

)

O-ring maintenance is very important. Failure to do O-ring maintenance

according to the instructions may lead to water leaks and cause this unit to

sink.

O-ring

This unit uses an O-ring to maintain its water resistance.

Fitting the O-ring

Avoid dusty or sandy locations for fitting the O-ring.

1

Remove the O-ring attached to this unit. (

)

To remove the O-ring, press it lightly and slide it in the direction of the arrow as

illustrated. This makes the O-ring slack enough for easy removal.

Be careful not to scratch the O-ring with your fingernail.

2

Inspect the O-ring.

Carefully check that there is

no dirt, sand, hair, dust, salt,

threads, etc. on the O-ring. If you

find any, be sure to wipe off with

a soft cloth.

Dirt

Sand

Hair

Lightly run your fingertip around the O-ring to check for any invisible dirt.

Be careful not to leave any cloth fibers on the O-ring after wiping it.

Check the O-ring for cracks,

skewing, distortion, fine splitting,

scratches, embedded sand, etc.

Replace the O-ring if you find

any of these.

Cracks

Distortion

Scratches

3

Inspect the O-ring groove on the rear casing.

Carefully remove any grains of sand or hardened salt stuck in the groove.

4

Inspect the O-ring contact surface on the front casing in the

same way.

5

Apply the silicone grease supplied with the O-ring.

Use your fingertips to thinly and evenly coat the entire surface of the O-ring

with a small drop of silicone grease, as illustrated.

Make sure there is always a thin coating of silicone grease on the surface of

the O-ring. Silicone grease protects the O-ring and prevents wear.

Silicone grease

Only use the supplied silicone grease. Other kinds of grease will damage the

O-ring and cause water leaks.
When you are finished with applying silicone grease, wash your hands with
soap and water.

First-aid measures

Eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water. Get medical attention

immediately.

Skin contact Wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation

develops and persists.

Ingestion Rinse mouth. Get medical attention immediately.

6

Fit the O-ring (

) into the groove of this unit.

Fit the O-ring evenly into the groove paying attention to the following points:

– Check for dirt on the O-ring.

– Check that the O-ring is not twisted or protruding.

– Do not pull hard on the O-ring.

Final check

Check the O-ring again for any dirt, scratches or twisting, etc.

A loose or sandwiched O-ring, or sand or dirt on the O-ring may cause leaks

underwater.

Be sure to check the O-ring before use.

How to check for water leaks

Before installing the camera, close this unit and immerse it in water to make sure

no water leaks in.

Drip-proof packing (

-a)

Do not remove the drip-proof packing (

) or apply silicone grease to it.

If the packing is slack or is nipped between the casings, water may leak into this

unit.

If the drip-proof packing comes off, refit the packing carefully while keeping it

untwisted.

O-ring and drip-proof packing serviceable life

The serviceable life of the O-ring varies depending on the frequency in use of this

unit and the storage conditions. Generally, it is about one year.

Replace the drip-proof packing with a new one if you find scratches or cracks on it.

After replacing, check that no water leaks in.

change the condition.

Colors of underwater photos change depending on depth, weather and water

condition.

Please adjust White Balance setting accordingly.

(

)

L'entretien du joint torique est très important. De l'eau risque de s'infiltrer dans ce

caisson et de le faire couler si vous ne nettoyez pas correctement le joint torique.

Joint torique

L'étanchéit é de ce caisson est assurée par un joint torique.

Mise en place du joint torique

Évitez de mettre le joint torique en place à un endroit poussiéreux ou sablonneux.

1

Retirez le joint torique de ce caisson. (

)

Pour retirer le joint torique, appuyez légèrement dessus et faites-le glisser dans

le sens de la flèche, comme illustré. Le joint devient assez souple pour faciliter

son retrait. Veillez à ne pas abîmer le joint torique avec vos ongles.

2

Inspectez le joint torique.

Vérifiez avec soin la présence de

saletés, grains de sable, cheveux,

poussière, sel, fils, etc. sur le joint

torique. Si c'est le cas, essuyez le

joint avec un chiffon doux.

Saleté

Sable

Cheveux

Passez légèrement votre doigt sur le joint torique pour repérer les saletés

invisibles.

Veillez à ne pas laisser de fibres de tissu sur le joint torique après l'avoir

nettoyé.

Assurez-vous que le joint torique

ne présente aucune craquelure,

déformation, irrégularit é,

coupure, éraflure, incrustation de

sable, etc. Remplacez-le s'il en

présente.

Craquelures

Déformation

Éraflures

3

Inspectez la rainure du joint torique du boîtier arrière.

Retirez avec soin les grains de sable ou de sel s'incrustant parfois dans la

rainure.

4

Inspectez également la surface du joint torique en contact avec

la partie avant.

5

Appliquez de la graisse de silicone fournie sur le joint torique.

Du bout du doigt, étalez une petite goutte de graisse de silicone en fine

couche et régulière sur toute la surface du joint torique, comme illustré.

Assurez-vous qu'une fine couche de graisse de silicone recouvre toujours la

surface du joint. La graisse de silicone protège le joint torique et l'empêche de

s'user.

Graisse de silicone

Utilisez seulement la graisse de silicone fournie. Tout autre type de graisse

endommagera le joint torique et causera des infiltrations d'eau.

Une fois que vous avez fini d'appliquer la graisse de silicone, lavez-vous les

mains avec de l'eau et du savon.

Premiers soins

Contact avec les yeux Rincez immédiatement vos yeux sous l'eau courante.

Consultez un médecin si une irritation se développe ou persiste.

Contact avec la peau Lavez la peau avec de l'eau et du savon. Consultez un

médecin si une irritation se développe ou persiste.

Ingestion Rincez votre bouche. Consultez immédiatement un médecin.

6

Insérez le joint torique (

) dans la rainure de ce caisson.

Insérez le joint torique uniformément dans la rainure en prêtant attention aux

points suivants :

– assurez-vous qu'il n'y a pas de salet é sur le joint torique ;

– assurez-vous que le joint torique n'est pas tordu ou ne ressort pas ;

– ne tirez pas fort sur le joint torique.

Vérification finale

Vérifiez une nouvelle fois s'il n'y a pas de saleté, rayures ou torsion, etc.

Une infiltration d'eau dans ce caisson peut être due à un joint torique détendu

ou aplati, ou bien à la présence de grains de sable ou de poussière.

Veillez à bien vérifier le joint torique avant d'utiliser ce caisson.

Vérification de l'étanchéité

Avant d'installer l'appareil photo, fermez ce caisson et plongez-le dans l'eau pour

vous assurer que de l'eau ne s'infiltre pas à l'intérieur.

Garniture pare-gouttes (

-a)

N'enlevez pas et n'appliquez pas de graisse de silicone sur la garniture pare-
gouttes (

).

ISi la garniture est lâche ou coincée entre les boîtiers, de l'eau risque de s'infiltrer

dans ce caisson.

Si la garniture pare-gouttes se détache, remettez-la en place avec précaution sans

la défaire.

Durée de vie du joint torique et de la garniture pare-

gouttes

La durée de vie du joint torique varie selon la fréquence d'utilisation et les

conditions de rangement de ce caisson. Le joint torique dure environ un an.

Remplacez la garniture pare-gouttes par une neuve si elle est rayée ou craquelée.

Une fois le remplacement effectu é, assurez-vous que le caisson est étanche.

Entretien

Après avoir utilisé le caisson à proximité ou dans de l'eau de mer, laissez-le fixé à

la boucle et lavez-les bien dans de l'eau fraîche pour retirer le sable et le sel, puis

essuyez-les avec un chiffon doux et sec. Il est conseillé de laisser ce caisson fixé à

la boucle et de l'immerger dans de l'eau fraîche pendant 30 minutes environ. Si le

caisson n'est pas bien nettoyé, le sel restant peut attaquer les parties métalliques

et causer de la corrosion, et par la suite une infiltration d'eau.

Essuyez l'intérieur de ce caisson avec un chiffon doux et sec. Ne lavez pas

l'intérieur à l'eau.

Effectuez toutes les opérations mentionnées ci-dessus chaque fois que vous

utilisez ce caisson. N'utilisez pas de solvant, comme de l'alcool, de la benzine ou

du diluant pour le nettoyage, car ces substances peuvent attaquer la finition de ce

caisson.
