(5) When foreign matter (sand, fiber, hair, etc.) is stuck to the O-ring grooves or O-ring
contact surfaces.
(6) Catching of the strap, the bag of silica gel, etc. at the time of sealing the Case.
(7) Throwing the Case from a boat into the water, jumping with the Case into the water, or
other sudden application of strong forces onto the Case. When entering the water,
hand the Case over quietly or avoid impacts in other ways.
Q9: What are the important points for O-ring maintenance?
A9: Please observe the following items.
(1) Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar organic solvents or chemical detergents
to clean the O-ring. When such chemicals are used, it is to be feared that the O-ring
will be damaged or that its deterioration will be accelerated.
(2) Always use genuine Olympus Grease for Silicone O-Ring (white cap). Other grease
may not be suitable for the silicone O-rings on the Case. Using the wrong grease may
result in deterioration of the Case's surface finish and interfere with the waterproof
capability.
(3) In order to avoid deformation of the O-ring when the Case is not used for a long time,
remove the O-ring from the Case, apply a thin coat of the special grease, and store
the O-ring in a clean plastic bag. For reuse, confirm that the O-ring is free of damage
and cracks, that it has sufficient elasticity, that the surface is free of stickiness and
other abnormalities, and use it after applying a thin coat of the special grease.
Excessive application of grease does not improve the waterproof function or the
permissible withstand pressure. However, it may facilitate attachment of sand, dirt, etc.
A thin, uniform coat produces the best result.
(4) When using an external flash, check that the hot shoe cable is connected to the digital
camera.
(5) The O-ring is a consumable product. Replace it at least once a year.
(6) Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions and the storage
conditions. Replace the O-ring immediately by a new one if it shows signs of damage,
cracking or loss of elasticity.

contact a service station of our company or your dealer.
Q11: Please tell me about repairs.
A11: Please contact a service station of our company or your dealer, if repair should be
necessary. Do not try to repair, disassemble or modify the Case yourself. Repair,
disassembly or modification by you or third parties not authorized by Olympus
invalidates the guarantee.
