When using this product, you cannot shoot with manual focus.  Please shoot with autofocus.

CAUTION

Ensure  that  the  rubber  pieces  inside  the  gear  do  not  come  out  of  the 

groove when detaching the gear from the lens.

CAUTION

Slide  the  gear  forward  until  it  completely  covers  the  zoom  ring 

rubber on the lens.

Fig.3. 

If  the  interlocking  is  too  tight  or  loose  for  attachment,  adjust  it 

according to the procedure described in "Interlocking Adjustment." 

Make  sure  that  the  groove  is  for  a  Nikon  mount  lens  before 

inserting the rubber pieces.

Do not attach the rubber piece in the concave part.

Refer to the lens instruction manual for setting of the focus mode 

switch.

Set the focus mode switch on the lens to "AF" position

1

Align  the  concave  part  of  the  gear  with  the  focus  mode 

switch on the lens, and then attach the gear to the lens in 

parallel alignment with the lens as shown in Fig.2 without 

hitting the projection

focus/zoom dial on the housing to make sure that the lens works 

smoothly  and  properly  with  the  gear  attached.  If  the  gear  is  not 

properly  attached  to  the  lens  or  is  out  of  parallel  alignment,  the 

zoom operation may not work properly.

Mount  the  lens,  with  the  gear  attached,  to  the  camera, 

and then mount the camera in the housing

4

Ensure that the rubber pieces inside the gear do not come out of the 

groove when detaching the gear from the lens.

CAUTION

Slide the gear forward until the gear teeth end is aligned with the 

zoom ring rubber end on the lens as shown in Fig.6. 

If  the  interlocking  is  too  tight  or  loose  for  attachment,  adjust  it 

according  to  the  procedure  described  in  "Interlocking

lens as shown in Fig.5

3

Refer to the housing instruction manual for mounting the camera 

in the housing.

After mounting the camera in the housing, always try operating 

the  focus/zoom  dial  on  the  housing  to  make  sure  that  the  lens 

works smoothly and properly with the gear attached. If the gear 

is not properly attached to the lens or is out of parallel alignment, 

the zoom operation may not work properly.

Mount the lens, with the gear attached, to the camera, 

and then mount the camera in the housing

4

Make  sure  that  the  groove  is  for  a  Nikon  mount  lens  before 

inserting the rubber pieces.

Do not attach the rubber piece in the concave part.

When attaching the gear to the lens, the interlocking may be too tight (the gear cannot be fixed in the prescribed position) or loose (the 

gear slips without interlocking) due to deviation in the lens diameter. Adjust the tightness/looseness by following the procedure described 

below.

You can apply the gear sheet in the unused groove in order to fill in the groove.

Always make sure that the gear and the lens work properly after adjustment.

CAUTION

① 

When too tight

Shorten the length of the rubber pieces inserted into the groove inside the gear. Re-insert the shortened rubber pieces into the groove, 

providing ample space between the pieces. Adjust the lengths of the rubber pieces for appropriate tightness.

Do not force the lens into the gear when the interlocking is too tight, because this may result in damage to the lens.

② 

When too loose

Replace the rubber pieces with the O-ring that is supplied with this product. Cut the O-ring into 

pieces approx. 4cm long, and insert 3 of the O-ring pieces into the groove inside the gear, providing 

ample space between the pieces. If the interlocking becomes too tight with the O-ring pieces, adjust 

the tightness as explained above 

. If the interlocking is still too loose with the O-ring pieces, use 

the gear sheet which is included in the package. Cut the sheet into 3 to 6 pieces, and apply them 

beside the groove inside the gear.

Make sure that the applied gear sheet comes into contact with the zoom ring on the lens.

The O-ring may not be compatible with some lenses due to size restrictions. In this case, adjust the 

looseness by applying the gear sheet without replacing the rubber pieces with the O-ring. If the 

interlocking becomes too tight, adjust the lengths of the rubber pieces for appropriate tightness.
