Installing the Camera 1. Pull out on each housing control (except shutter release) until it stops. This will get the controls out of the way for installing the camera. 2. Remove the back from the housing. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back. Position the camera on the tray, and using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure it with the mounting bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket. CAUTION: Some camera tripod socket threads are plastic.

Diffuser The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built in flash. When shooting with the camera’s built-in flash at approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the housing may block a portion of the light from the camera’s built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower area of the photo. If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow. (You can test this above water) Optional Accessories (cont.) Green Water Filter #6441.

Due to the power required to operate the camera, flash, and LCD screen, it is a good idea to start each dive with a fresh set of batteries. 2. Some cameras reset their flash to AUTO when the camera is turned on. If you prefer another setting be sure to select it. 3. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the housing to see that it is properly sealed. 4.
