6. Handling After Shooting

After underwater shooting, remove any drops of water from the case. Use pressurized air or a soft, lint-

free cloth to carefully wipe away any moisture from the hinge between the front and rear lids, the shutter

release lever and the open/close dial.

CAUTION:

Water left between the front and rear lids can get inside the case once it is opened. Please dry these areas

carefully.

Open the Case carefully and take the digital camera out.

CAUTION:

• When opening the case, make sure no water from outside (e.g. drops from your hair or the diving suit) gets

inside the case and/or on the camera!

• Before opening the case, ensure that your hands or gloves are completely clean (free of sand, loose fibers,

etc.).

• Never open the case in areas where water could splash or spray or where sand or dust could be blown in

the air. When this cannot be avoided, for example if the battery or memory card needs to be changed, the

case and camera should be protected from the wind or spray with a plastic sheet or similar object.

• Never touch the digital camera and/or battery when your hands are wet with sea water.

After use, seal the Case again after taking out the camera and wash it sufficiently in pure water as soon

as possible.

After use in sea water, it is effective to immerse it for a fixed time (30 minutes to 1 hour) in pure water to

remove any salt.

CAUTION:

• Water leakage may be caused when a high water pressure is applied locally. Before washing the Case with

water, remove the digital camera from it.

• Operate the shutter lever and various buttons of this product in pure water to remove salt adhering to the

shafts. Do not disassemble for cleaning.

• Letting salt dry on the case may impair the function. Always wash off any salt after use.
