Simple water leakage test

Explanatory image

Hints

1

Place the Case slowly into 
the water.

As the rear lid of the Case is transparent, 
waterdrops entering into it can be confirmed 
easily.

2

At first, immerse the Case 
for only three seconds.

In case of trouble with the O-ring, three 
seconds is enough for water to enter. Are there 
air bubbles coming out between the lids?

3

Check that no water has 
entered the Case.

Remove the Case from the water and check 
that no water has leaked at the inside of the 
Case.

4

Next, immerse the Case for 
30 seconds.

Check carefully for air bubbles!
Do not perform any operation yet, but just 
observe.

5

Check that no water has 
entered the Case.

Remove the Case from the water and check 
that no water has leaked at the bottom of the 
Case.

6

Next, check by immersing 
for three minutes.

Check carefully for air bubbles!
Try operation of the buttons used frequently. 
Check carefully for air bubbles!

7

This is the final check. Has 
the silica gel become moist?

Has the silica gel become moist?
Please check carefully!

8

If there is no water leakage 
and everything is functioning 
correctly, you are ready to 
start shooting underwater.

Now everything is all right!
