Olympus Maintaining Water Resistance F.A.Q.

How can I ensure my Olympus camera remains water-resistant?

To maintain water resistance, always ensure that all covers and ports are securely closed before exposing the camera to water. Regularly check seals and gaskets for any signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary.

What should I do if my camera gets wet inside?

If water gets inside your camera, immediately turn it off, remove the battery and memory card, and dry it thoroughly. Contact Olympus support for further assistance, as internal water exposure can lead to serious damage.

How often should I check the seals of my Olympus camera?

It is recommended to inspect the seals and gaskets every time before using the camera in wet conditions. Regular maintenance checks, at least once every few months, will help ensure continued water resistance.

Can I use my Olympus camera underwater without additional housing?

Some Olympus cameras are designed for underwater use without additional housing, but it's essential to verify the specific model's specifications. Ensure all seals are intact and follow the manufacturer's depth and time limitations.

What is the recommended procedure for cleaning an Olympus water-resistant camera?

Rinse the camera with fresh water after use in salt water or chlorinated pools. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down, and ensure all ports and seals are closed during cleaning. Avoid using soap or detergents.

Can I replace the seals of my Olympus camera myself?

Seal replacement can be complex and is best performed by authorized service centers to ensure proper water resistance. DIY replacement is not recommended unless you have the appropriate skills and tools.

What should I do if the camera lens fogs up?

Fogging can occur due to temperature changes. Allow the camera to acclimate to the environment gradually. If fogging persists, open the battery compartment in a dry place to let moisture escape.

How can I test the water resistance of my Olympus camera?

Perform a visual inspection of seals and gaskets for integrity. Avoid submersion tests, as these can void warranties. If unsure, have the camera professionally tested at an authorized service center.

Is it safe to use the camera in extreme cold temperatures?

Olympus cameras designed for tough conditions can be used in cold temperatures, but battery performance may decrease. Keep spare batteries warm and minimize exposure to extreme cold. Check the user manual for specific temperature ratings.

How can I prevent corrosion in my Olympus camera?

Ensure the camera is thoroughly dried after exposure to water. Store it in a cool, dry place and use silica gel packets to absorb moisture. Regular maintenance checks will help prevent corrosion.
