The camera's LCD monitor can be viewed thru the side of the housing. Open the LCD monitor on the camera, rotate 180°, and then press it back against the side of the camera so that the LCD monitor is visible.
To view the image on the LCD monitor from the rear of the housing, Ikelite offers optional External Mirror #9290.95, which adheres to the outside of the housing. Then the LCD image can be viewed from the rear.
BATTERY AND TAPE____________________________________________________

Make sure you have loaded an appropriate digital cassette tape in the camera.

Once the camera is mounted to the tray as described above, pull the housing controls of the housing body out to provide clearance for the camera. Align the back plate with the clear housing and slowly place the back plate against the housing.
