1. Place housing face down in your lap.
2. Check to see that there is an o’ring

on the housing back and that it is

clean, and in its proper location.

3. Guide the back onto the housing.

The o’ring should touch the housing

all the way around. There should be

an even gap all the way around

between the housing and the

housing back.

4. Lift the lid snaps so they are

extended and place the lid snap

into the hook on the housing back.

5. To close the housing, push 

down on the lid snaps until 

they snap into place . Lid 

snaps on opposite sides of the

housing should be closed at the

same time. Be sure they are down

far enough to engage the lock.

D

Doouubbllee cchheecckk - Once the housing is closed, check the o’ring seal.

Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it

should be even all the way around.

Look through the clear plastic back at the o’ring. You should see

a darkened area where the o’ring is compressed against the

housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal

all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the

housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

When using an external strobe, connect the housing hotshoe

connector to the top camera mount. Slide the connector into the

top camera hotshoe mount from the back of the camera

as shown. Slide the connector

forward until it stops.

This can be

done after

Before installing the camera, pull out on the controls in the front

section of the housing. This will allow the camera to slide in

easier. Once the camera is installed and the lid snaps have been

closed, return the controls to their operating position.

Determine the type

of lens being used

on the camera.
Type 1 Lenses have

a lens opening that

is NOT larger in

diameter than the

zoom ring. ((FFiigg.. 11)).
Type 2 Lenses have a lens

The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over

the Zoom ring of the lens as shown ((FFiigg.. CC)). Install the Zoom

Clamp with the extension tabs toward the rear element of the

lens. After installing the Zoom Clamp, check that when rotating

the Zoom Clamp, it rotates the Zoom ring on the lens. If the

Zoom Clamp is not tight enough to rotate the Zoom ring on the

lens, remove the Zoom Clamp and install the rubber strips

(supplied) to the inside of the Zoom Clamp as shown ((FFiigg.. FF)).

Two thicknesses of rubber strips are provided. Start by installing

the thinnest rubber strips. If the Zoom Clamp still is not tight

enough, use the thicker rubber strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp.
