CAMERA TRAY________________________________________________________________

The camera mounts to the tray, which extends from the back plate of the housing. DO NOT remove the tray from the back plate.

Position the camera against the two stabilizing

pins on the tray and secure with the camera mounting bolt. The camera should fit easily on the

tray and should be parallel with the sides of th e tray. The lens shade must be threaded completely into

the camera lens to avoid clearance or sealing problems. Extend the camera’s viewfinder back toward

the SuperEye. INSERTING THE CAMERA_____________________________________________________

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 completely threaded into the c amera.

Once the camera is mounted to the tray as sh own above, pull the housing controls out to provide clearance for installing the camera. Partially slide the camera into the housing so you can connect the reversing circuit cable to the blue LANC port on the camera. When sliding the camera into the housing align the housings zoom control to accept the camera’s zoom lever. 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 tray should slide easily in to place so the housings back plate o’ring is resting against the main housing body. In this position the lid snaps can be positioned over the lid hooks on the h ousing 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 c ord from the cam era. Otherwise, the cord may interfere with the housing 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 lig ht levels or w hen the subject possesses little contrast. Set the focus switch to Manual to cancel the a uto focus. If yo u want to manually adjust the focus, rotate the manual focus control as d esired.

To reactivate the auto focus, set the focus switch to Auto.
