2. Advance Check of the Lens Port
Advance check before use
This Lens Port has been the subject of thorough quality control for the
parts during the manufacturing process and thorough function inspections
during the assembly. In addition, a water pressure test is performed with
a water pressure tester for all products to confirm that the performance
conforms to the specifications.
However, depending on the carrying and storage conditions, the
maintenance status, etc., the waterproof function may be damaged.
Before using, always perform the following advance checks.
Attaching/Removing the Rear Cap
Remove the O-ring
Remove the rear cap and remove the O-ring fitted to the Lens Port.
1Insert the O-ring remover into the gap between the O-ring and O-ring
groove wall.
2Slip the tip of the inserted O-ring remover below the O-ring.
(Be careful not to scratch the O-ring groove with the tip of the O-ring
remover.)
3Lift the O-ring, pinch it with your fingertips and pull it out of the Lens
Port.
CAUTION:
If the advance test should show water leakage with normal handling, stop
using the Lens Port and contact your dealer or an Olympus service station.

Remove any sand, dirt, etc.
After visually checking that dirt has been removed from the O-ring, checks
for sand and other foreign matter adhered, damage and cracks can be
done by squeezing the entire circumference of the O-ring lightly with your
fingertips.
Remove any foreign matter adhered to the O-ring groove using a lint-free
clean cloth or cotton swab. Also, remove any sand or dirt adhered to the
O-ring sealing surface of the Case body.
CAUTION:
• When a sharp object is used to remove the O-ring or to clean the inside of
the O-ring groove, the Lens Port and the O-ring may be damaged and water
leakage may occur.
• Take care not to stretch the O-ring.
• Never use alcohol, thinner, benzene or similar solvents or chemical
detergents to clean the O-ring. When such chemicals are used, the O-ring
may be damaged or its deterioration will be accelerated.

How to Apply Grease to the O-ring
1
Apply the exclusive
lubricant to the
O-ring.
Make sure that your fingers and the
O-ring are free of dirt, then
squeeze the appropriate amount of
exclusive lubricant onto a finger to
spread onto the entire
circumference of the O-ring
(approx. 15 mm is adequate).
2
Spread the
lubricant all over
the O-ring.
Apply the lubricant with 3 fingers
and spread it over the O-ring. Be
careful not to use force as this may
stretch the O-ring.
3
Check that the
O-ring is free of
scratches or
unevenness.
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, be sure to replace it with
a brand-new O-ring.
CAUTION:
• Always perform maintenance of the waterproof function even when the
Case has been opened every shooting. Neglecting this maintenance may
cause water leakage.
• When the Lens Port 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.
Examples of foreign matter sticking to the O-ring

Install the O-ring
Confirm that no foreign matter is in the groove and then fit the O-ring. At
this time, confirm that the O-ring does not stick out from the groove.
Before attaching this product to the Case, make sure that there is no hair,
fiber, grains of sand or other foreign matter adhered to the O-ring or to the
contact surface (front lid). Even a single hair or a single grain of sand may
cause water leakage. Please check with special care.
Attaching/Removing the Front Cover
To attach the front cover, fit it into the front end (lens hood) of the Lens
Port as shown below. The front cover can be removed by reversing the
attaching procedure. Be sure to remove the front cover before shooting.

4. Using Accessories
Attaching the Anti-Reflection Ring
(POSR-EP10: optional)
The anti-reflection ring (POSR-EP10) designed for the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL
ED 8mm f1.8 Fisheye PRO is recommended as it works to reduce
irregular reflection.
With the front cap (1) attached to the lens, fit the anti-reflection ring (2)
from the rear side of the lens. Push in the anti-reflection ring as far as
indicated by the arrow in the diagram. (3)
Attaching the Focusing Gear (PPZR-EP05: optional)
When the focusing gear (PPZR-EP05) designed for the M.ZUIKO
DIGITAL ED 8mm f1.8 Fisheye PRO is used, manual focus operations
(MF) can be used underwater.
Fit the focusing gear (PPZR-EP05) from the rear side of the lens, pressing
it on until it will go no further.
When combining with the anti-reflection ring, please fit the anti-reflection
ring first.

5. Handling After Shooting
Wash the Case with pure water
1After use, clean the Case and Lens Port thoroughly with pure water as
soon as possible.
After use in sea water, soak it in pure water for a fixed time (30 minutes
to an hour) to remove any salt.
2Operate the shutter button and various buttons of the Case in pure
water to clean and remove the salt attached to the shaft.
3Take it out of the water and rinse with pure water.
Wipe off any waterdrop
Remove any drops of water from the Case and Lens Port. Use air or a soft
cloth not leaving any fibers to thoroughly wipe any waterdrop from the joint
between the front and rear lid, the palm grip, the open/close dial and other
operating parts.
CAUTION:
After coming out of the water, do not detach the Lens Port from the Case or
open the Case. Instead, rinse the entire Case assembly in fresh water.
CAUTION:
• Do not disassemble for cleaning.
• Drying the Case with salt adhered may impair the function. Always wash
off any salt after use.

• When waterdrops remain between the front and the rear lid, they may spill
to the inside when the Case is opened. Take special care to wipe off all
waterdrops.
• When removing this product from the Case, water droplets left in the region
of the O-ring of the product can be flicked onto the lens or camera body. In

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
Refer to P.23.
Remove any sand, dirt, etc.
Refer to P.24.
How to Apply Grease to the O-ring
Refer to P.25.
Install the O-ring
Refer to P.26.
Replace consumable parts
• The O-ring is a consumable product. Independent of the number of times
the Lens Port is used, it is recommended that the O-ring should be
replaced by a new piece after a year has passed.
• Deterioration of the O-ring is accelerated by the use conditions and the
storage conditions. Replace the O-ring even before a year has passed
if it shows signs of damage, crack or loss of elasticity.
