Q & A on the use of the PT-017

Q1:Which digital cameras can be used?

A1:The PT-017 is only for the models D-560 Zoom / D-565 Zoom.

Q2:What cautions must be observed when loading the digital camera into the Case?

A2:Pay special attention to the following items when loading the camera into the Case.

1Check that the remaining capacity of the battery in the digital camera is sufficient. This should be checked as the LCD monitor is used under water, and the battery consumption becomes faster.

2Check the remaining number of pictures on the image storage.

Please use a card with a sufficient remaining number in order to reduce the number of times the Case has to be opened and closed.

3Remove the strap from the digital camera.

When the camera is loaded without removing the strap, the strap may get caught when the Case is sealed and this will cause water leakage.

4Before sealing the Case, confirm that the O-ring has been installed properly in the groove in the rear lid of the Case.

5Confirm that the O-ring and the O-ring contact surface on the front lid are free of dirt, hairs, and other foreign matter.

6Insert the silica gel for defogging. Please use silica gel for the Olympus Case.

7Finally install the special balance weight to the tripod mounting thread.

Q3:What cautions must be observed when using and storing the Case?

A3:Pay special attention to the following items.

1When the O-ring contact surface is pressed strongly from the outside of the Case, or when the Case is twisted, the waterproof function may be impaired and water leakage may be caused.

2When the Case is used, left or stored at the following locations, defective operation or trouble may be caused. Always avoid such locations.
