Controls
Your Gates housing utilizes 100% mechanical controls to provide you with the most
reliable operation possible. They are all rotational in nature to provide smooth and
consistent operation. There are no batteries to change and require little maintenance
(see ‘Housing Care and Maintenance’ section).
The housing controls are designed by Gates engineers, to the extent possible, to feel
and behave like the camera controls. With time and use, the housing controls will
become quite familiar and you’ll find operating them requires similar skill as the actual
camera controls.
To help acquaint yourself with the housing controls, Gates recommends reviewing each
control individually, how it actuates the corresponding camera control, and operating it to
get a ‘feel’ for the control. You can view all front housing controls with the housing
open. After reviewing all controls, perform a ‘simulated’ dive by operating the controls as
you would in the water.
One final note about controls: when operating any control out of water,
you may need to
press the control against the housing, into the position it would naturally find while under
water pressure
. The controls are designed to operate properly in this position.
