AF-ON & STAR LEVER
The lever in the rear right portion of the housing (#19) can be used to access the AF-ON and/
or the * (star) buttons, just pull outward or inward to access the desired function, then rotate
the collar (#20), theses two buttons can be assigned a variety of custom function to conform
to your personal style of shooting, we suggest that you refer to the Canon 5D Mk II instruction
manual to pull the maximum out of these highly creative features.
LENS INSTALLATION
With the camera inside the housing, install the lens prepared with the gears through the port
opening in the front of the housing. Ensure that the lens mounted gears are properly installed
and aligned. Rotate the focus / zoom control knob to ensure that the gear is properly meshed,
do not grind and that their rotation is smooth.
Note:
To avoid damaging the auto-focus mechanism of the camera when using standard EF type lenses, you should always
set the Focus Control on the lens to “M” Manual for testing the proper meshing of a focusing gear. This procedure is not
required with USM type lenses.
CHANGING A LENS (REMOVING A LENS)
The lens mounted gears may restrict the view and ease of access to the lens release button of
camera. The AQUATICA
Pro Digital Housing features a Lens Release Lever (key # 11) that is designed to trigger the lens
release button of camera
to allow easy removal of lens.
To remove a lens, simply rotate Lens Release Lever (key # 11) to press the camera lens re
-
lease, hold and turn the lens clockwise.
Alternatively, pulling on the retracting disc (# 8) underneath the Focus/Zoom knob (# 9), and
turning it so that it stay in the up position, will disengage the pinion gear (# 10) from the focus
or zoom gear attached to the lens, pull out the lens release (# 11) and you can then pull the
camera right out of the housing with the lens and gear attached.
MOUNTING THE PORT
Before mounting the Port on the Housing always ensures that the port O-ring is clean, lubricated and properly seated in its
groove. Inspect the sealing surface on the housing to confirm that it is clean and free of physical damage.
The
AQUATICA Pro Digital
Housing System features a locking bayonet mount (#52). To mount the port or extension ring
simply:
1.
Place the housing on its back on a soft steady surface.
2.
Place the port or extension ring inside the main port of the housing. Align one of the four alignment notches
with the opening of the housing.
3.
Place your hands on opposite sides of the port or extension ring.
4.
Push with even force on both sides of the port or extension ring until you feel it snap into place. Make sure
the bayonet is completely inside the housing.
5.
Finally press the port lock button (# 14) down, turn the Port clockwise until it stops and then releases the port
lock button. Do not force it. If there is too much resistance take the port off, check the O-ring and retry.
6.
Check to ensure for the proper seating and sealing of the port or extension and that it is safely locked on the housing.
Note :
It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with this mount by trying it without the camera, this will allow you to
see the inside view of the bayonet mount and of the ports or extension rings in the housing.
