Conditions of underwater recording
Recording underwater is different from recording on land because it is affected by
the clarity, depth of the water, and the light conditions. The following are hints
for good recording underwater.
Best time for recording
The best recording time is from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. When the sun is at its highest,
optimum results can be obtained.
To record is in dark places as the sun does not reach or at night, use a powerful
underwater video light.

15-GB
Underwater recording (continued)
Subject size underwater
Since the refractive index underwater is higher than that in air, objects appear 1/4
closer, and therefore larger. This phenomenon affects the lens on the camcorder as well
as human the eye. Using the supplied wide-conversion lens is recommended.
Operate the camera with slow and stable motions
When recording, keep your body stable.
An unstable shot will be magnified on the TV screen.
Move the camcorder as slowly as possible. Since most of the objects underwater move,
you can record a good shot without moving the camcorder too much.
Note on recording underwater
Be sure to follow the safety rules for diving, such as diving period and depth.
16-GB
Recording
Now you are ready for underwater recording.
When you dive with the camcorder, dive slowly, paying attention to the surrounding
environment. Be careful not to strike the marine pack against Rocks or Reef, etc.

Note on the O-ring
What Is an O-ring?
• An O-ring is part of the water-proof packing that is used on underwater cameras,
watches, and other diving equipments.
• The O-ring acts to preserve the waterproof qualities of the marine pack and other
equipments.

When water pressure acts on the O-ring, the contact surface area of the
O-ring expands to increase the force acting on the groove on the marine pack.
water
pressure
O-ring maintenance is very important. If O-ring maintenance
is not followed according to instructions, this might cause a
water leak, and cause the marine pack to sink. The surface
of the O-ring contacts the entire rubber evenly to prevent
water from entering the gap.
Handling the O-ring
Set the O-ring in place
Avoid setting the O-ring in dusty or sandy locations.
1 Remove the O-ring.
Do not use pointed or metal objects to remove the O-ring. These objects might
scratch or damage the marine pack groove or O-ring.
2 Inspect the O-ring.
•Fully check the following, and wipe off with a soft cloth or tissue paper.
– Check for any dirt, grains of sand, hair, dust, salt, thread scraps, etc.
– Check for any old grease.
v Dirt v Sand v Hair v Dust

v Salt v
•Lightly run your fingertip around the O-ring to check for any unapparent
dirt.
•After wiping the O-ring, take care to prevent any cloth or tissue paper fibres
from remaining on the O-ring.
•Check the O-ring for cracking, skew, distortion, fine splitting, scratches,
sand-biting, etc. Replace cracked or scratched O-rings.

3 Inspect the O-ring groove.
Grains of sand or hardened salt sometimes get into the groove. Carefully remove
them by blowing with an air spray or by wiping them with a cotton wool bud.
Prevent fibre scraps from the cotton wool bud from entering inside.
4 Also, inspect the contacting surface on the other side of the O-ring in the same
way.
continued
23-GB
Note on the O-ring (continued)
5 Apply a coating of grease to the O-ring.
•Apply a small drop of grease onto the O-ring and evenly coat the entire surface of
the O-ring with the end of your finger.
•Do not use paper or cloth as fibre may stick to the O-ring.
•Make sure that a thin coating of grease is applied to the surface of the O-ring at all
times. Grease protects the O-ring, and prevents wear.
•After you have applied a small drop of grease onto the O-ring, set the O-ring
immediately. Do not leave the greased O-ring on a desk or other surfaces.
6 Place the O-ring in the groove on the marine pack.
Place the O-ring evenly in its groove paying attention to the following points:
– Is there any dirt on the O-ring?
– Is the O-ring twisted?
– Do not pull the O-ring.
– Is the O-ring protruding?
24-GB
Bad example Good example
Final check
After you have fitted in the O-ring, check it again for the following:
– Is the O-ring twisted?
– Is there any dirt on the O-ring?
– Is the O-ring protruding?
– Are there any cracking or distortion on the O-ring?
How to check for water leaks
After you have replaced the O-ring, close the marine pack before you insert the
equipment you are using. Immerse the marine pack for about three minutes in water to
a depth of about 15 cm, and check for water leaks.
PCAUTION
When you have taken photos on a sandy sea bottom or have placed the camera on the
sand, remove the O-ring and check for water leaks.
Be sure to take a spare O-ring with you.
This facilitates replacement even if O-ring trouble occurs
where you are taking photos.
Maintenance
After you have finished using an O-ring
• After you have used the marine pack, be sure to perform the following:
– Wash the marine pack with fresh water with the buckle closed to remove salt or
sand.
– Insert the marine pack in fresh water for about 30 minutes with the buckle closed.
If salt is left on the marine pack, metal parts and the O-ring might be damaged, and
cause water leaks.
– When sun oil is stuck to the marine pack, wash off with lukewarm water.
If sun oil is left on the marine pack, the surface of the marine pack might become
discoloured or become damaged.
– Wipe the inside of the marine pack with a soft, dry cloth. Do not wash with water.
• Remove the O-ring each time that you have finished using it, and check it.
If the marine pack is dried with sea water still in the O-ring groove, salt crystals form,
and might impair the O-ring's functions.
• Do not use thinner, benzene, alcohol or other solvents as they will damage the
surface finish.
Storing O-rings
• Prevent dust from sticking to O-rings.
• Apply a thin coating of grease to the O-ring, set it in the groove, and store in a well-
ventilated location. Do not close the buckle.
• Avoid storing O-rings in hot, cold or humid locations, and placing in naphthalene or
camphor. These locations and solutions will damage the materials.
How to store O-rings
• To maintain the O-ring's functions, avoid storing them in hot locations or in the direct
sunlight.
• Do not place the spare O-ring under heavy objects. Doing so might deform the
O-ring.
GB
O-ring life
Replace the O-ring with a new one after one year of use.
Even if the O-ring is not cracked or scratched, deformation or wear reduces the
waterproof qualities of the O-ring. Replace the O-ring with a new one if cracking, skew,
distortion, fine splitting, scratches, sand-biting, etc. is found.
Grease
Use the supplied grease. Using other manufacturer's grease
will damage the O-ring, and cause water leaks.
O-ring and grease
Contact your nearest Sony Service Center.
25-GB
Caution on handling
After using
The metal parts will rust and the movement of the operation switches will be impaired
if you leave salt water on the marine pack. If sea water enters through scratches in the
coating, the salt can corrode the metal parts of the marine pack unit and cause the
coating to peel off. After recording in the sea, submerge the marine pack in tap water or
fresh water for about 30 minutes before undoing the buckles to completely remove any
salt from the marine pack unit, filter, and wide-conversion lens.
After washing, wipe any water from the inside of the marine pack and the loaded video
camcorder with a soft dry cloth.
* Always follow the above precautions when you use the marine pack.
When you open the marine pack or exchange the battery pack of the grip, take care that
no water drips from your wet suit or hair.
Do not leave the marine pack under direct sunlight for a long period of time, otherwise
the temperature in the marine pack may rise and the equipment inside may be
damaged. If you cannot avoid leaving the marine pack under direct sunlight, be sure to
cover the marine pack with a towel or other protection.
When you store the marine pack
Coat the O-ring slightly with the supplied grease, and put it in the groove correctly.
Join the front and rear shells then put it in a cool and dry place without fastening the
buckles.
Avoid storing the marine pack in a very hot, cold, or humid place, or together with
naphthalene or camphor, as these conditions might damage the unit.
26-GB
On transportation
When transporting the marine pack, be sure to remove your camcorder from it.
Otherwise this might damage the unit.
