entered the Case.
Explanatory image Hints
As the rear lid of the Case is transparent,
waterdrops entering into it can be confirmed
easily.
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?
Remove the Case from the water and check
that no water has leaked at the inside of the
Case.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Do not perform any operation yet, but just
observe.
Remove the Case from the water and check
that no water has leaked at the bottom of the
Case.
En
6 Next, check by immersing
for three minutes.
7 This is the final check. Has
the silica gel become moist?
8 If there is no water leakage
and everything is functioning
correctly, you are ready to
start shooting underwater.
EN 19
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Try operation of the buttons used frequently.
Check carefully for air bubbles!
Has the silica gel become moist?
Please check carefully!
Now everything is all right!

How to Apply Grease to the O-ring
1 Apply only Olympus
exclusive lubricant to each
O-ring.
2 Spread the lubricant onto
the entire circumference of
the O-ring.
3 Check that the O-ring is free
of scratches or unevenness.
4 Apply lubricant on the O-ring
contact surface.
CAUTION:
• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the Case has been opened every
shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage.
• When the Case is not to be used for a long time, remove the O-ring from the groove to prevent deformation
of the O-ring, apply a thin coat of silicone grease, and store it in a clean plastic bag or the like.
Make sure that your fingers and the O-ring are
free of dirt, and squeeze about 5 mm of
lubricant onto a finger. (5 mm is the most
appropriate amount.)
Spread the grease onto the entire
circumference of the O-ring using 3 fingers.
Be careful not to use excessive force as this
may stretch the O-ring.
After spreading the lubricant, check visually
and by touch that the O-ring is not scratched
and that its surface is flat. If it is damaged in
any way, replace it with a brand-new O-ring.
Use the lubricant remaining on the fingers to
clean and lubricate the case’s contact surface.

Replace consumable products
• The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of times the Case is used, it is
recommended that the O-ring should be replaced by a new piece at least once a year.
• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the usage conditions and the storage conditions. Replace
the O-ring even before a year has passed if it shows signs of damage, cracking or loss of elasticity.
CAUTION:
• Please use genuine Olympus silicone grease, silica gel and O-ring.
• Do not try to replace the O-ring by yourself.
• We recommend to perform the check periodically.
Maintenance of the threaded sections on the TTL cable and TTL
cable connector
If the threaded sections used to connect the TTL cable to the TTL cable connector are not maintained
properly, salt and other seawater residue may adhere to the TTL cable and prevent it from being
disconnected.
After use in seawater, clean off any salt, sand, or other residue as soon as possible, then dry the
equipment thoroughly. Clean the threaded sections with a cotton swab and apply a thin, uniform layer of
silicone grease (provided with this case).
Clean and apply silicone grease to these
sections.
Maintenance of the TTL Connector Cap
After removing the TTL connector cap from the Underwater Case, be sure to clean and grease the Oring.
Use the maintenance adapter to remove the O-ring unit from the TTL connector cap.
TTL connector cap
1 Insert the adapter by aligning its pin with the hole on
the cap.
2 Turn the adapter counterclockwise to remove the O-
ring unit.
3 After removing the O-ring attached to the O-ring unit,
clean the O-ring groove and apply silicone grease to
the O-ring. Then, re-attach the O-ring to the O-ring
unit.
* Reverse the removal procedure to re-attach the O-ring unit to the TTL connector cap.
