Before installing the camera in the housing we recommend

setting the camera’s Monitor Display function to Manual.

If the camera’s eyepiece sensor, located below the camera’s

viewfinder, is set to Automatic the sensor will detect the

housing and turn the Monitor Display off. See camera

instruction manual.

push Lid Snap Lock forward and lift

as shown. Keep pressure on the Lid

Snap so it does not fly open quickly.

Some lid snaps have a lot of spring

Remove the back from the

housing. The mounting tray

for the camera is secured to

the housing back. Position

the camera with lens on the

tray and secure it with the

mounting bolt which threads

into the camera’s tripod

socket. Use a tool or coin

to tighten the mounting

bolt so the camera bottom is flush against the tray.

Inside the housing back, on the

black panel covering the conversion

circuitry, is a switch for setting the

• When using dual strobes of different

models such as a DS51 and a DS125, set the ID switch to DS51.
