CAUTION:

Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened to exchange the battery or the image storage during shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may cause water leakage.

When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.

Drying the Case with salt adhered may impair the function. Always wash off any salt after use.
