Opening and closing the housing:
1.
To open the housing place it on a flat surface, standing upright.
2.
It is very important to lift the
selector AF/M
on the left of the housing before
placing the camera inside.
3.
The housing can be opened and closed by operating with only one hand.
When opening, pull the opening knob, then turn the knob counter-clockwise until the
back housing opens.
4.
Remove the back of the housing by pulling it slightly upwards to release the two
pins. In this way, it will be possible to separate completely the back housing from the
front housing.
5.
The camera is placed easily into the housing on a sliding tray that keeps the
camera robustly in place. Switch the lever to lock the tray safely inside the housing.
6.
To close, insert the two pins in their slots, insert the pins in the space on the
opening knob, screw the knob until the end, and push it downwards to secure it
safely. If you have not closed the back properly you may feel resistance when turning
the knob. Open it again and check that camera is properly inserted, pins are in their
slots, verify the shoulder strap clips have been removed and try again.
7.
When closing, make sure there is nothing caught between the closing surfaces of
the two halves of the housing and check that O-rings are clean.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
if you do not close the back housing correctly or there is
something preventing the correct closure of the housing, the camera controls cannot
work properly.
