way liable for damage to any products (digital camera, batteries, card etc.)

inside this Case, photography costs or any other expenses.

≥ Panasonic also offers no compensation for accidents resulting in injury or

damage to property.

≥ Read the operating instructions for your digital camera.

≥ Before attaching the digital camera, submerge the case in water for

about 3 minutes or more to check that there is no water leakage.

∫ About handling this Case

≥ Use under the following conditions.

• Water depth: Up to 40 m/130 feet

• Ambient temperature: 0 °C

to

40 °C/32 °F

to

104 °F

≥ Do not use the Case in water over 40 °C/104 °F. The heat may damage the Case or

cause water leakage.

≥ The Case is made of impact resistant polycarbonate however be careful when you

are using it. It can be easily scratched when taking pictures in rocky places etc. and

can be damaged by the impact if dropped etc. When travelling, pack the Case

carefully to prevent any direct impact if it is dropped etc. and do not leave the digital

camera in the Case. Only attach the digital camera to the case if you are

transporting it a short distance such as from the airport to the diving spot. (You

cannot reuse the material the Case was packed in at the time of purchase to

transport it.)

≥ When boarding a plane, the change in atmospheric pressure may cause the inside

of the Case to expand causing damage to the Case. Remove the O-ring before

boarding a plane.

Insert the removed O-ring into the supplied exclusive polyester bag.

≥ Do not leave the digital camera in the Case for a long period of time in a car, a

ship, exposed to direct sunlight etc. The Case is an airtight device so the

What is the O-ring?

≥ The O-ring is a waterproofing packing used for underwater cameras, watches and

diving equipment.

≥ The O-ring keeps the Case waterproof by sealing the gap between the rear case

and the front case.

∫ How the O-ring keeps the Case waterproof

The gum comes into contact with the sides of the Case making the

Case waterproof and stopping water from entering from the gap.

When water pressure acts on the O-ring, the surface of the O-ring

expands and the Case is sealed more tightly.

The O-ring prevents water leakage by coming into uniform

contact with the sides of the Case. Therefore, good care of the

O-ring is very important. Incorrect care of the O-ring may

cause water leakage.

Preparation -Attaching the Digital Camera- (continued)

≥ When inserting the silica gel, bend it as shown in the illustration below

and then insert it as far as possible. If you close the Case with the silica

gel not fully inserted, the silica gel will get caught in the O-ring causing

water leakage.

≥ If the air temperature is high and the water temperature is low, condensation

may appear inside the Case. To prevent condensation, insert silica gel

(supplied) inside the Case in advance. To prevent the Case from becoming

fogged up, insert the silica gel about 1 to 2 hours before using the Case.

4 Close the buckle.

‘

Check that the buckle is closed firmly.

Do not insert the strap etc. in the buckle.

5 After you have attached the digital camera, check one more time that

no water leaks into the Case. (P14)

∫ Notes

≥

Be careful not to get the shading hood dirty with fingerprints etc.

≥ Check one more time that the O-ring is fitted evenly into the O-ring groove.

≥ Avoid opening or closing the Case where there is a lot of sand or dust and in humid

or wet places.

≥ If there is a sudden change of humidity caused by moist air entering the Case,

condensation may appear inside the Case.

≥ To prevent condensation, set the digital camera in as dry a place as possible. Also,

check that the silica gel (supplied) is sufficiently dry before inserting.

≥ If sunscreen or suntan oil sticks to the Case, wash it off immediately with lukewarm

water to prevent reduced waterproofness or discoloration.

If a digital camera with GPS function is attached to the marine case, failure of

positioning or other major errors may occur due to interference in the reception of

radio waves from the GPS satellite.

∫ Attaching the weights

About using the weights

Attach the weights to adjust to the preferred buoyancy when using the marine case.

Use them as necessary.

Refer to the following about buoyancy underwater.

1 If you use the digital camera and the marine case only:

They will float slowly in fresh water or seawater. (Plus buoyancy)

2 If you use the digital camera, the marine case and 1 weight:

They will float even more slowly in fresh water or seawater than

1.

(Plus buoyancy)

3 If you use the digital camera, the marine case and 2 weights:

They will sink slowly in fresh water or seawater. (Minus buoyancy)

How to attach the weights

If you use 1 weight, align the protruding part of

the weight with the tripod receptacle on the

marine case and then using a slotted screwdriver

or similar, use the supplied weights attachment

screw to attach to the tripod receptacle.

If you use 2 weights, align the projecting part of

the second weight with the indented part of the

first weight so that the weights do not overlap and

then attach them to the tripod receptacle.
