IMAGE REVERSING CIRCUIT__________________________________________________

The image reversing circuit is mounted inside the housing. The circuit reverses (flips) the ima ge and words on the LCD screen so t hat whe n the image is re flected in the external mirror, it appears correct left -to-right.

Secure the camera to the tray and partially slide the camera and tray inside the housing so you can then connect the cable from the reversing cir cuit to the Remote port on the ca mera. The reversing circuit will automatically turn ON when connected to the camera and the camera is ON; the image and words in t he LCD screen will appear in rev erse.

On/Off Switch

An on/off switch is featured on the reversing circuit. Use the reversing circuit control on th e housing to access the on/off switch on the circ uit. The circuit will automatic ally turn ON when connected to the camera and the ca mera is O N.

When turning th e camera OFF, there is a 5-minute standby power down delay on the camera that occurs when the reve rsing circu it is ON during power down. Therefore to avoid the 5-minute power down delay, turn the came ra OFF and a lso turn the c ircuit OFF to power down the camera immediately.

Functions Locked Out

When the reversing circuit is ON, some cam era functions may be locked out. To correct for such a problem, temporarily turn the circuit OFF, c hange the func tion on the camera, and then turn the circuit back ON.

The camera’s M icrophone is also disabled when the reversing circu it is on.

INSERTING THE CAMERA 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 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 Remote port on the camera. Make sure the lens shade on the front of t he 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 cord from the camera. 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 light 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, use LCD touch screen. To reactivate the auto focus, set the focus switch to Auto.
