Inspecting the O-ring and the
O-ring mating surface
Inspect the O-ring and the O-ring mating
surface in a location that is free from sand,
dust or moisture.
a Before opening the waterproof
cover, rinse off any sand and
completely wipe away any
water that may be present on
the camera body.
Sand or water getting inside the camera may
cause a malfunction.
b Open the waterproof cover.
For details on how to open and close the
waterproof cover, see page 12.
c Inspect the O-ring and the O-
ring mating surface.
Be sure to wipe away any dirt, sand particles,
hair, dust, salt, lint or other foreign matter
adhering to the O-ring with a soft, lint-free
cloth. Even a single hair adhering to the O-ring
may cause a water leak.
Tiny dirt particles that are difficult to see may
have adhered to the O-ring, so inspect the O-
ring by running it through your fingers.
When wiping away dirt from the O-ring, take
care that cloth fibers do not remain on the O-
ring.
When it is difficult to wipe away the dirt from
the O-ring, remove the O-ring and wash it with
water.
Be sure to replace the O-ring with a new one if
it becomes cracked, warped, crushed, twisted,
split, scratched, rough or otherwise damaged.
