Camera Preparation
Your Sony camera will need some preparation before installing into the housing.
Remove any lens caps or external lenses
you may have added to the front of the
camera.
Install
a charged battery and SD Cards.
Tighten the hand strap
to its shortest position and tuck the ‘tail’ back into the hand
strap.
CAUTION
: Failure to perform this step may result in the hand strap
becoming caught in the housing seal and accidental flooding.
Switch the camera to ‘MANUAL’
if you plan to use the ND filters. This switch is
just above the ND filter slider on the back of the camera. Otherwise, set the camera
to ‘AUTO’, and the camera will automatically add ND Filters as needed.
Turn ND Filter
control on camera to the OFF position. This will aid in aligning the
ND Filter control on the housing.
Install Camera
with mount screw.
Install a charged
battery and SD card.
Remove any lens cap
or filter.
Tighten the handstrap
to its shortest position.
Install Dovetail with
mount screw.
Turn the ND Filter
control to the OFF
position.
