Explanatory image Hints
1
Place the Case slowly
into the water.
As the Case is transparent,
waterdrops entering into it can be
confirmed easily.

At first, immerse the
Case for only three
seconds.
In case of trouble with the O-ring,
three seconds are enough for water
to enter. Are there air bubbles coming
out between the lids?
Please check carefully.
3
Check that no water has
entered into the Case.
Remove the Case from the water and
check that no water has accumulated
at the bottom of the Case.
Is there any water trickling down?

Next, immerse the Case
for 30 seconds.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Do not perform any operation yet,
but just observe.

Has the silica gel become moist?
Please check carefully!

you are ready to start
shooting underwater.
Now everything is all right!
Have a nice dive!
