Visual Inspection

After sealing the Case, check the sealing part of front and rear lid visually to confirm that the O-ring is not twisted or out of the groove and that no foreign matter has been caught.

CAUTION : • Hairs, fibers, and other narrow items are not very apparent, but they may cause entry of water, so that special attention is required.

Set the power to 'ON'.

Move the power switch lever and confirm that the camera power can be switched ON and OFF.

Try to move the mode dial.

After sealing, turn the mode dial knob and confirm that the mode dial of the camera is switched.

CAUTION : • After loading the camera into the Case, confirm that the mode dial moves. If it does not move, there is the possibility that oil or

fat has been attached to the mode dial. Please wipe it clean.

•When no operation is performed for three minutes after the digital camera has been loaded (or for the specified time when a different time has been specified), the camera enters into sleep mode (standby status) to save battery power. It returns to operation status when the shutter button or the zoom lever is operated.

For details, refer to the instruction manual for the digital camera.
