Attaching the Lens Protectors/Underwater Lens Protectors Make sure to attach the lens protectors or underwater lens protectors to protect the lenses because they are made of glass. • Lens protector: Used to protect the lens (attached to the camera at time of factory shipment). The lens protectors can be used up to a water depth of about 20 m (65 ft). • Underwater lens protector: Used for shooting underwater. The underwater lens protectors can be used up to a water depth of 30 m (100 ft).
B Notes About the Lens Protectors and Underwater Lens Protectors • Be careful not to subject the protectors to physical impacts or rubbing. Doing so could cause scratches or damage. • When the underwater lens protectors are attached, there are black borders or bands in the images because the protectors appear in the images. • When you are not using the camera, insert it into a case made of soft cloth material with the lens protectors or underwater lens protectors attached.
2 Attach the buckle of the base adapter to the base mount. • While holding the two protrusions of the buckle at the same time, slide the buckle until it clicks into place. • When removing the buckle, hold the two protrusions at the same time, and slide them in the direction opposite of that for attachment. 3 Adjust the camera angle. • Loosen the plate lock (1), set the camera angle (2), and then tighten the lock (3).
