What Is The O-Ring - Panasonic DMW-MCTZ40 Operating Instructions Manual

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
O-ring
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.
