Q & A on the use of the PT-027Q1 : Which digital camera models can the case be used with?

A1 : The case (PT-027) is designed for use exclusively with C-7070 Wide Zoom or C-5060 Wide Zoom.

Q2 : What points should be observed when inserting the digital camera into the case?

A2 : When inserting the digital camera you should pay special attention to the following points:

(1)Check that the digital camera's battery is fully charged.

This is important because in underwater shooting you can only use the LCD monitor for framing shots. This uses much more battery power than the optical viewfinder.

(2)Check the number of remaining images that can fit on the memory card. Please use a card with as much free storage space as possible so you won't have open and close the case to replace the card.

(3)Remove the carrying strap and lens cap from the digital camera.

If the carrying strap and lens cap are not removed from the digital camera, they could catch between the two lids of the case and prevent it from closing properly. This could lead to water penetration.

(4)Before closing the case, check that the O-rings sit correctly in the groove.

(5)Make sure that the buckles used for connection of the case and port and TTL connector cap are closed firmly.

(6)Make sure that the O-rings and the case's contact surfaces are free of foreign matter and dirt.

(7)Place the silica gel bag in the case to avoid fogging. Only use Olympus silica gel.

(8)When closing the case's rear lid, pull up the case's mode dial knob and close the lid gently. After closing the lid, push the mode dial knob down so that it fits properly onto the camera's mode dial.

(9)Install the special balance weight on the tripod mount thread.Q3 : What cautions must be observed when using and storing the Case?A3 : Pay special attention to the following items.
