Using and cleaning the underwater housing and camera

Entering the water with housing

1.Do not jump into the water with camera in your hand. Have someone hand you the camera after you have entered the water.

2.For tips on taking pictures, see “Great Underwater Pictures Made Easy” on page 94.

3.Inspect housing for any leaks right after submerging housing. Hold camera pointing upwards and look at LC display window for any water drops.

After using housing underwater

1.Before entering dive boat, hand the housing to someone on the boat.

2.Make sure the sealed housing is placed in a fresh water tank available on most dive boats. This will clean the salt water from the camera housing and prevents the salt water from drying on the camera housing

and O-ring. Never let water dry on the camera housing. Salt crystals can damage the O-ring, lens and attract moisture. Dry housing with clean soft towel after removing from fresh water tank.

3.Do not expose camera and housing to direct sunlight – keep in a shaded area or under a dry towel.

4.It is not recommended to remove camera from housing while on the dive boat. Allowing humid air to enter the housing may cause fogging.

5.If you must open the housing while on the dive boat, make sure you and the housing are perfectly dry before opening the housing. Do not allow the inside of the housing or the camera to get wet.

Cleaning housing after use

1.The sealed housing must be thoroughly cleaned with fresh water before opening. Never let salt water dry on housing. Salt crystals may damage the O-ring, lens and attract moisture.

2.Never let water drops dry on lens. Wipe lens dry with clean cotton cloth.

3.Before opening housing, everything, including your hands, head and surrounding area must be totally dry. Have a dry towel handy.

4.After opening the housing, clean the camera, O-ring area and all inside and outside parts with a clean, dry cotton cloth.
