If Manual flash is desired, press the         button once, the strobe will 
fire, press the 

 button a second time within two seconds, and then 

use manual power settings on the strobe. To go back to TTL, turn the 
strobe off and back on; return strobe power switch to TTL.

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.

2.  

Submerge the housing at the surface of the water and visually 

confirm that there are no signs of water intrusion or a steady stream 
of bubbles coming from one of the housing seals. If water does 
appear to be entering the housing, point the lens port downward 
and return the housing to the surface as quickly as possible. Please 
observe all necessary safety precautions. NEVER ascend faster 
than accepted safety limits.
