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

Check 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,

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.
