Olympus PT-045 F.A.Q.

What are the steps to ensure the Olympus PT-045 case is watertight before diving?

Before diving, ensure all O-ring seals are clean and free of debris. Lubricate them with silicone grease if necessary. Close the case properly and check for any gaps. Perform a leak test without the camera in shallow water.

How should I clean the Olympus PT-045 case after use in saltwater?

Rinse the case thoroughly with fresh water after each use in saltwater to remove salt deposits. Dry it with a soft cloth and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What should I do if the buttons on the PT-045 case become sticky?

If buttons become sticky, soak the case in warm, fresh water and operate the buttons repeatedly to remove any salt or debris. Ensure the case is empty and open while doing this.

How can I check for leaks in the PT-045 case before a dive?

Perform a test dive by submerging the empty case in a bucket of water. Look for air bubbles escaping, which indicates a leak. Check all seals if bubbles are observed.

Can the PT-045 case be used in both saltwater and freshwater environments?

Yes, the PT-045 case is suitable for both saltwater and freshwater environments. Rinse with fresh water after use in saltwater to prevent corrosion.

What is the best way to store the Olympus PT-045 case when not in use?

Store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove the O-ring and store it separately to prevent deformation. Ensure the case is clean and dry before storing.

How often should the O-ring be replaced on the PT-045 case?

The O-ring should be inspected for damage and replaced at least once a year or if any signs of wear and tear are visible. Regular maintenance will ensure the case remains watertight.

What should I do if I notice fogging inside the PT-045 case during a dive?

Fogging can occur if the case is closed in a humid environment. Use silica gel packs inside the case to absorb moisture and close the case in a dry environment to prevent fogging.

Is it necessary to use a special lubricant for the O-ring on the PT-045 case?

Yes, use only silicone grease specifically designed for underwater camera housings. Other lubricants can damage the O-ring and compromise the seal.

Can I attach additional accessories to the Olympus PT-045 case?
