5. 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, the handgrip and the open/close dial.

CAUTION:

Water left between the front and rear lids or between the case and port can get inside the case once it is opened or the port is detached. Please dry these areas carefully.

Unload the digital camera

First, open the open/close dial of the Case and then open the rear lid carefully. Disconnect the hot shoe cable if it is connected to the camera, then remove the Case’s zoom and mode dials so that they do not interfere with removal of the camera. Gently remove the loaded digital camera, while holding it with both hands.

CAUTION:

•When opening the case or removing the port, 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 or removing the port, ensure that your hands or gloves are completely clean (free of sand, loose fibers, etc.).

•Never open the case or remove the port 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.

Wash the Case with pure water

En

 

 

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 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.
