Camera Mounting Bolt

Check that the o’ring is clean and properly positioned on the lip of the clear housing back plate. Check that the lens shade is com pletely threaded into the camera.

Once the camera is mounted to the tray as shown above, pull the housing controls out to provide clearance for installing the camera. Make sure the lens shade on the front of the camera fits into the port recess in the front of the housing.

DO NOT force this installation; the camera and t ray should slide easily into place so the housings back plate o’ring is resting against the m ain housing body. In this position the lid snaps can be positioned over the lid hooks on the housing back plate and snapped into position to seal the housing.

HOUSING CONTROLS________________________________________________________

Slide the housing controls back in place making sure they properly align with the camera functions.

Operate each control to see how it works with the camera. Some controls such as start/stop will be used frequently. Other controls may seldom be utilized. Refer to your camera owner's manual for the proper function of each camera control. Look thru the back to be sure that you can see into the viewfinder.

When using the housing controls, especially the start/stop,do NOT use excessive force because you could damage the camera.CAUTION

Remove the lens cap and cord from the camera. Otherwise, the cord may interfere with the hous ing seal.

If the housing controls are not properly positioned, they could interfere with the housing seal.

MANUAL FOCUS OPERATION_______________________________________________

Manual focus may be preferred in low light levels or when the subject possesses little contrast. Set the focus switch to Manual to c ancel the auto focus. If you want to manually adjust the focus, rotate the manual focus control as desired. To reacti- vate the auto focus, set the focus switch to Au to.
