Welcome
Congratulations on your purchase of the revolutionary Bluefin VX2000 Video Housing.
Please inspect the packaging of your product to verify that there was no damage during shipping.
If you are not familiar with your camcorder’s features, please take time to become familiar with the camcorder before you proceed in this manual. This manual assumes you have a working knowledge of your camcorder and will only cover operational procedures relative to the underwater housing.
The term “Push” when referenced in this manual means to press and release in one motion. If a function requires a button to be continually held, the manual will read, “press and hold”.
Periodically refer to the website for instruction revisions.

We hope you have a wonderful underwater experience with Light & Motion equipment. To increase your enjoyment and the life span of your new gear please take an extra minute to review common errors which will result in equipment damage or destruction.
•Check the operation of all your equipment several weeks prior to your trip. If maintenance or repair is necessary, then time is available for both shipping and repair scheduling.
•Never transport or ship the housing with the camcorder inside. This may damage your camcorder.
•Never leave your housing in the rinse bucket, it may be damaged by other equipment.
•When removing the camcorder from the housing after a dive, do so in a dry controlled environment away from other SCUBA related equipment. This prevents water from other equipment or water from another diver accidentally entering the housing.
•If a product is flooded, immediately rinse it with fresh water. Most non- electrical parts will be salvageable if not corroded by salt water
