6. Handling After Shooting
Wash the Case with pure water
1 After use, clean the protector thoroughly with pure water as soon as possible.
After use in sea water, soak it in pure water for a fixed time (30 minutes to an hour) to remove any salt.
2 Operate the shutter lever and various buttons of the product in pure water to clean and remove the
salt attached to the shaft.
3 Take it out of the water and rinse with pure water.
CAUTION:
• Never disassemble the Case for cleaning.
• The functions may be impaired when the Case is dried with the salt still adhered to it. Make sure to wash
away the salt after use.
Wipe off any waterdrops
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.
Unload the digital camera
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.
Dry the Case
After washing with pure water, use a lint-free soft cloth without any salt on it to wipe off any waterdrops
and dry the Case completely at a well ventilated location in the shade.
CAUTION:
Do not use hot air from a hair drier or the like for drying and do not expose the Case to direct sunlight, as this
may accelerate deterioration and deformation of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring, leading to leakage
of water.
When wiping the Case, take care not to cause scratches.
