8.  

Take a test photo to ensure that your strobe(s) are functioning 

properly.

Zoom function

This housing is designed to take advantage of the widest angle setting 
of your camera lens while in the housing, therefore the telephoto zoom 
range is limited to approximately 1/2 of its maximum.
        If you zoom too far and contact the lens port glass, the camera 
will automatically shut down. Press the ON/OFF button to restart.

Final Check

1.  

Re-check the o-ring seal. The seal should form an even, solid line 

around the back of the housing. 

2.  

Turn on the camera and check all control functions.

3.  

Make sure that the camera can obtain focus and take a photo.

4.  

Check battery life and open storage space on your memory card.

5.  

Check the flash, if using.

6.  

Submerge the housing in a fresh water tank dedicated to 

underwater photography equipment. Visually confirm that there are 
no signs of water intrusion or a steady stream of bubbles coming 
from one of the housing seals.

Entering the Water

1.  

If possible, we recommend entering the water without your housing 

to ensure that you are comfortable and your life-saving equipment 
is in working order. Once you are stable, have someone pass your 
camera housing to you.
