Removing the electronic flash
Carefully open the case, loosen the
shoe lock dial of the flash and, while
holding the mode dial knob on the
case firmly, slide the flash out of the
case’s hot shoe.
: • After opening the case, always put it down it with the
O-ring side face-up. Otherwise, dirt or other foreign
matter could attach itself to the O-rings and/or the
contact surfaces, allowing water to penetrate the case
during the next dive.
• Before removing the flash, make sure the flash’s shoe
lock dial is loose. Never use force to remove the
flash. This could damage the flash or the case.

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
TTL cable connector and the
buckles.
: • Especially 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 opening the Case, take sufficient care that no
water will drop from your hair or body onto the Case
and the flash.
• Before opening the Case, make sure that your hands
or gloves are free of sand, fibers, etc.
• Do not open or close the Case at locations where
water or sand is to be sprayed. When this cannot be
avoided because you have to exchange the battery,
place a sheet downwind from some object and take
care that no water or sand is sprayed.
• Never touch the electronic flash and/or batteries when
your hands are wet with sea water.
Note: Moisten a towel etc. in advance with pure water and keep it
in a plastic bag so that you can wipe the salt from your
hands and fingers before handling the camera.
CAUTION
Cleaning the case with pure water
After using this case, remove the flash, then seal it
again with the TTL cable still connected, and rinse
it with pure water as soon as possible. After use in
salt water, the case should be immersed for an
extended period of time in a bowl of pure water to
remove any salt water or salt residues.
: • Water may enter the case under localized high water pressure (such
as from a hose.) Before cleaning the case with water, the flash
should be removed.
• Operate the mode dial knob and buttons of the case when it is in
clean tap water to remove any salt from their shafts. Do not
disassemble the case for cleaning!
• If the case is dried before all salt has been removed, this could affect
its performance. Always make sure all salt has been removed!
• If the case should be cleaned without the TTL cable connected to it,
be sure to attach the cap to the connector in advance.
