Removing/Setting the O-ring When removing the O-ring for replacement, cleaning or inspection, take care for the following points. If there is mud on the O-ring, or if the camera has been in seawater, be sure to remove the O-ring to clean and inspect it. Removing the O-ring Press lightly on the O-ring with your fingers to shift it from the groove, grasp the slack portion, and remove the O-ring. • Do not use a pointed, sharp or metal object to remove the O-ring. This can scratch the O-ring or the O-ring mating surface which may allow water to leak inside the camera. • Do not place excessive tension on the O-ring. Cleaning the O-ring and the O-ring groove • Use tap water at 30°C or less to wash the O- ring that you removed. Wipe away any water when finished. • The O-ring is specially treated, so take care not to allow grease or oil to adhere to the O-ring. • When sand particles or encrusted salt may be present in the O-ring groove, clean the groove carefully using a cotton swab. Take care that fibers from the cotton swab do not remain in the groove. • Do not use a pointed, sharp or metal object for cleaning, as this may scratch the O-ring groove. Setting the O-ring Place the O-ring in the groove, taking care for the following points. • Do not place excessive tension on the O-ring. • After setting, run a final check for any of the following problems. - Are there any water droplets on the O-ring? - Is the O-ring twisted? - Has any dirt, etc. adhered to the O-ring? - Is the O-ring protruding from the groove? O-ring life • Replace the O-ring with a new one if it becomes cracked, warped, crushed, twisted, split, scratched, rough or otherwise damaged.
