Before use, this unit must be pre-tested to check if there is any water leakage.

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.

Pre-use test

Mounting method and operating method for each part

1.Remove the camcorder hand strap or grip strap.

2.Remove the four buckles on the marine case and open the front lid.

3. Align the mark on the marine case’s Power Dial with the mark on the marine case.

4. Set the camcorder’s Power Dial to “OFF”, then open the LCD monitor 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.

•If the camcorder’s Operation Switch is set to “ ”, perform settings as required then insert the camcorder into the marine case.

5.Fit the Power Dial projection on the

marine case over the outer groove of the Power Switch on the camcorder, making sure that it is securely fit.

If the camcorder’s Power Switch is set to the wrong position when the camcorder is placed in the marine case, the Power Dial aligning boss on the marine case may be damaged and the camcorder’s Power Switch may skid.

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 four 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 “	”.

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.

9.To start video recording, press the Recording start/stop button. To stop video recording, press it again.

•Press the Still button to perform Snapshot recording. If the flash is used, its brightness will be darker than usual due to the marine case. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
