UNDERWATER HOUSING for Canon EOS 40D 日本語 MDX-40D English 取扱説明書 Instruction Manual
Introduction Thank you for purchasing SEA&SEA products. Please read this instruction manual carefully prior to using your underwater housing. Only with a thorough understanding of this manual’s content will you be able to use the housing correctly. After reading the manual, please be sure to keep it in a place where you can easily come back to it at any time.
Safety Precautions For safe handling of the product, please read the following precautions carefully before use. Failure to heed the precautions listed below could result in serious consequences. To prevent injury or damage to yourself and/or others, please observe the precautions as they contain highly important information related to personal and product safety. WARNING Situations that could result in severe injury or death. CAUTION Situations that could result in property damage or personal injury.
Safety Precautions z Always dry the front port, the lens, the flash window or the finder using a soft cloth to prevent stain or salt residue from marring the glass surface. z Rinse the product with fresh water, after underwater use. Ensure that the product is waterproofed before rinsing. Refer to [Maintenance and Storage] (P.E-17) for details. z Make sure that the connectors have been secured with the connector caps before rinsing the product with fresh water, after removal from other products.
Precautions on Handling the O-ring This model is kept watertight by the O-ring. To keep the O-ring functioning properly, please observe the following. Improper handling of the O-ring could cause flooding. CAUTION z SEA&SEA products use blue O-rings. These O-rings are impregnated with silicone oil through a special process. The lubricating effect of the O-ring lasts as long as the silicone oil is gradually seeping out from within.
Precautions on Handling the O-ring Coat with silicone grease Silicone grease protects the O-ring from chafing. After checking the O-ring to make sure that there are no scratches, dust, or debris, apply a light coating of silicone grease to the entire O-ring with your finger. Applying too much grease will make it easier for dust and debris to adhere to the Oring, and could cause flooding.
