2. Advance Check of the Case

This Case has been the subject of thorough quality control for the parts 
during the manufacturing process and thorough function inspections 
during the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is performed with 
a water pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance 
conforms to the specifications.
However, depending on the carrying and storage conditions, the 
maintenance status, etc., the waterproof function may be damaged.
Before diving, always perform the following advance test and the final test 
after installation of the camera.

1

Before installing the digital camera in the Case, immerse the empty 
Case to the intended water depth to confirm that there is no water 
leakage.

2

Main causes of water leakage are as follows.

• The O-ring has not been installed.
• A part of the O-ring or the entire O-ring is outside the specified 

groove.

• O-ring damage, cracks, deterioration or deformation
• Sand, fibers, hair or other foreign matter sticking to the O-ring, the 

O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the front lid

• Damage to the O-ring groove or the O-ring contact surface on the 

front lid

• Catching of the strap, silica gel, etc. when closing the Case

Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated.

CAUTION:

• The most suitable method for checking water leakage is to immerse the 

Case to the intended water depth. When this is difficult, water leakage also 
can be checked at a shallow depth with no water pressure. Do not feel that 
this is troublesome, but perform this test.

• If a leak is detected in normal handling during testing, do not use the Case 

and contact Olympus.
