Please read before use.

This marine case is a precision instrument designed to permit safe video recording under high water pressure. Please pay careful attention when handling the unit before and after use, as explained in this user’s manual.

Each part of the marine case has been subject to strict controls during the manufacturing process, and the individual functions have faced stringent tests during the assembly process. Each marine case has also had to pass water-proof inspections using high- pressure water testers. However, damage can sometimes occur during transport and distribution, or during storage after purchase, so before diving always carry out the following pre-use test to verify safety.

Mounting method and operating method for each part

1.Remove the two buckles on the marine case and open the front lid.

2.Remove the camcorder hand strap or grip strap.

3.Set the marine case’s Power Dial so

that it fits in the indentation on the marine case (the “Off” position).

4. Set the camcorder’s Power Dial to “OFF”, then pull out the viewfinder

and insert the camera into the marine case.

Place the included anti-fogging silica gel in the gap between the camcorder and the marine case to prevent fogging in the marine case.

5. Fit the underside of the marine case’s Power Dial around the

camcorder’s Power Dial. Confirm

that the marine case’s Power Dial is in the correct position.

If the camcorder’s Power Dial is set to the wrong position, the underside of the marine case’s

Power Dial may be damaged and no longer turn properly.

6.Before sealing the marine case, check that there is no sand, dirt, or other foreign matter on the O-ring mounted on the front lid or on the O-ring contact surface on the main unit.

Also make sure that the inserted silica gel bag is not pinched. If you dive with foreign matter trapped in these areas, water will leak.

7.Check that the O-ring on the front lid is correctly mounted in the groove, then press in the front lid.

Flip down the two buckles in the directions indicated by the arrows in the figure on the right to seal the marine case.

8.Turn the marine case’s Power Dial in

the direction of the arrow to set the

camcorder’s Power Dial to “ A ”.

Pre-use test

Be sure to perform the following pre-use test before diving.

1.Before mounting the camcorder inside the marine case, dive with only the empty marine case and test for water leaks.

•You can easily check for water leaks at a depth of 1 m, where there is no water pressure. Be sure to perform this test to ensure the safety of your camcorder.

2.The following are some common causes of water leaks: A. The marine case is used without attaching the O-ring.B. The O-ring is not mounted in the correct position.

C. The O-ring is damaged or deformed.

D. There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign matter on the O-ring. E. There is sand, dirt, hair or other foreign matter on the contact

surface of the O-ring or on the inside of the lid.

F.The provided strap or silica gel bag is pinched inside the marine case when the lid is closed.

To protect your camcorder and ensure optimum use, keep the examples listed above in mind when using the marine case.
