Before Use

• This Marine Case is designed for a Panasonic Digital Camera.

You can enjoy taking pictures underwater at depths up to 45 m/148 feet.

• In the case of water leakage due to insufficient care, Panasonic is in no 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 45 m/148 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

temperature inside the Case will become very high and the digital camera

may stop operating properly. Do not let the temperature inside the Case

become too high.

∫ Using the Case in high or low temperatures

•

If you open or close the Case where it is humid or hot and then move to a place

that is cold or dive underwater, condensation may appear inside the Case, the

glass surface may become cloudy and the digital camera may be damaged.

• If you suddenly move the Case from a cold place or cold water to a warm place, the

glass surface may become cloudy. Wait until the Case becomes close to the air

temperature before taking pictures.

∫ About preparation

•

Do not open or close the Case where it may be splashed by water or sand

may get in it. We recommend opening or closing the Case indoors.

• Replace the battery, card etc. and attach the digital camera indoors where there is

little moisture.

• If you must open or close the Case at the diving spot to replace the battery or

the card, be sure to follow the steps below.

– Select a place where the Case will not be splashed by water and sand will not

get in it.

– Blow off any drops of water in the gap between the rear case and the front case

and on the buckle. Thoroughly wipe off any remaining drops of water with a dry

cloth.

– Thoroughly wipe off any drops of water on your body or hair.

– Be particularly careful about any water coming from the sleeves of your thermal

suit.

– Do not touch the digital camera if your hands are wet from sea water. Wet a

towel with fresh water and place it in a polyester bag beforehand. Use this towel

to wipe off any drops of water or sand on your hands or body.

• This Case does not absorb shock. If you place a heavy object on the Case or

cause shock to it, the digital camera may be damaged. Be careful when you are

using the case.

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.
