Removing/Setting the O-ring
When removing the O-ring for replacement, 
cleaning or inspection, take care for the 
following points.  
If there is mud on the O-ring, or if the 
camera has been in seawater, be sure to 
remove the O-ring to clean and inspect it.
Removing the O-ring
Press lightly on the O-ring with your fingers 
to shift it from the groove, grasp the slack 
portion, and remove the O-ring.
Do not use a pointed, sharp or metal object to 
remove the O-ring. This can scratch the O-ring 
or the O-ring mating surface which may allow 
water to leak inside the camera.
Do not place excessive tension on the O-ring.
Cleaning the O-ring and the O-ring 
groove
Use tap water at 30°C or less to wash the O-
ring that you removed.  Wipe away any water 
when finished. 
The O-ring is specially treated, so take care not 
to allow grease or oil to adhere to the O-ring. 
When sand particles or encrusted salt may be 
present in the O-ring groove, clean the groove 
carefully using a cotton swab. Take care that 
fibers from the cotton swab do not remain in the 
groove.
Do not use a pointed, sharp or metal object for 
cleaning, as this may scratch the O-ring groove.
Setting the O-ring
Place the O-ring in the groove, taking care 
for the following points.
Do not place excessive tension on the O-ring.
After setting, run a final check for any of the 
following problems.
– Are there any water droplets on the O-ring?
– Is the O-ring twisted?
– Has any dirt, etc. adhered to the O-ring?
– Is the O-ring protruding from the groove?
O-ring life
• Replace the O-ring with a new one if it 
becomes cracked, warped, crushed, 
twisted, split, scratched, rough or 
otherwise damaged. Even if the O-ring 
has no problems, deformation and wear 
over time can cause the waterproof 
performance to drop, so replace the O-
ring with a new one after approximately 
two years of use.
• Consult your Sony dealer or local 
authorized Sony service facility for 
replacement of O-rings. Order the 
following parts number when purchasing 
the O-ring:
3-081-956-ss
