Install the Waterproof Port To enable the Case to be used underwater, the separately available Waterproof Port for the camera lens must be installed on the Case. Align the Waterproof Port with the position where the camera lens will be when the camera is loaded in the Case.
How to attach and detach the camera table The camera table inside the front lid of the Case is used to load the digital camera into the Case. How to detach the camera table 1 Slide and hold the Case’s slide lock and open the open/ close dial, then open the rear lid.
• Attached strap or silica gel getting caught when closing the Case. Perform the test after the above causes have been eliminated. CAUTION: If the advance test should show water leakage with normal handling, stop using the Case and contact your dealer or an Olympus service station. EN 10...
Refer to the UFL-2 instruction manual for the UFL-2 operation. CAUTION: When using a non-Olympus manufacturer's slave-type flash with underwater optical fiber cable, set the camera's built-in flash to manual. If the camera's built-in flash ratio is more than 1/64, the camera's built-in flash light may reflect in the lens port and be taken into the picture.
When using the TTL cable When connecting the optional electronic flash with the underwater TTL cable (optional: PTCB-E01), connect the hot shoe cable (optional: PHCB-01) to the camera and front cover of the Case. Connecting the underwater TTL cable 1 Turn the TTL connector cap of the Case counter- clockwise and remove it.

• If the camera’s built-in flash pops up while the hot shoe cable is connected to the camera, it will interfere with the hot shoe cable, either disconnecting it or causing a connection failure. • When using a slave-type underwater flash from a non-Olympus manufacturer, pop the camera’s built-in flash up before loading it in the Case.
4. Installing the digital camera Check the digital camera Check the digital camera before loading it in the Case. 1. Battery Confirmation Underwater shooting can reduce battery life because the picture has to be checked on the LCD monitor before and after shooting. Make sure that you have sufficient remaining battery capacity before use. 2.
Open the Case 1 Slide and hold the slide lock towards the arrow direction (1) and turn the open/close dial counter clockwise (2). 2 Turn the open/close dial to the position where it cannot be turned further. 3 Open the rear lid of the Case gently. CAUTION: Do not exert too much force while turning the open/close dial.
Insert the digital camera in the Case 1 Pull out the zoom dial and mode dial on the Case (pulling out the mode dial also pulls up the power switch lever) so that they do not get in the way while loading the digital camera. At this time, set the orientation of the power switch lever as shown below.
OFF. • When using the UFL-2 underwater electronic flash with the underwater optical fiber cable, or when using a slave flash from a non-Olympus manufacture, check that the camera's built-in flash is popped EN 17...
Seal the Case 1 Close the rear lid gently (so that the O-rings do not slip out of the grooves). 2 Turn the open/close dial clockwise. • The Case is sealed when the position of the slide lock is at the top. CAUTION: If the open/close dial is not fully turned, the Case will not be sealed airtight and water leakage may occur.
Water Leakage Test The final test after loading the camera is explained below. Always perform this test. It can be performed easily in a water tank or a bathtub. The required time is about five minutes. Simple water leakage test 1 Place the Case slowly into the water.
5. Handling After Shooting Wipe off any waterdrop After underwater shooting, remove any drops of water from the case. Use pressurized air or a soft, lint- free cloth to carefully wipe away any moisture from the hinge between the front and rear lids, the shutter release lever, the handgrip and the open/close dial.
Dry the Case After washing with pure water, use a lint-free soft cloth without any salt on it to wipe off any waterdrop and dry the Case completely at a well ventilated location in the shade. CAUTION: Do not use hot air from a hair drier or the like for drying and do not expose the Case to direct sunlight, as this may accelerate deterioration and deformation of the Case and deterioration of the O-ring, leading to leakage of water.
6. Maintaining the Waterproof Function The O-ring is a consumable product. Before each use, perform proper maintenance. Always be sure to perform the O-ring maintenance operation as described below. Neglecting this maintenance may become the cause of water leakage. Perform at the location without sand or dust, after washing and drying your hands. Remove the O-ring Open the Case and remove the O-ring.
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.
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.
