Step 7 - Entering The Water; Removing The Camera From The Housing - Ikelite 6146.05 Instruction Manual

Step 7 - Entering the Water

Before entering the water, turn the camera on and operate each of the
housing controls to get a feel for using the camera in the housing.
As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check to see that the
housing is properly sealed. We recommend you first water test the housing
with no camera inside to assure a safe and watertight environment.
Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face of the lens port.
If there are, take your finger and remove them. If there are bubbles on
the lens port they can produce soft focus spots in your photos or video.

Removing the Camera from the Housing

1. Thoroughly dry housing.
2. Remove the housing back, see Step 2, Opening the Housing, Page 8.
3. Remove the Hotshoe from the camera mount.
4. Pull back on both sides of the camera top to begin releasing the Tray from
the Mounting Plate. Pull on the Tray Tab with your thumb and index finger.
Slowly and gently pull the camera backward to separate from housing,
Diagram D. Continue pulling the camera backward and remove from
housing. We recommend doing this procedure on a desktop or solid flat
surface to avoid dropping the camera.
If you are finished using the housing, remove the Mounting Tray from the
camera bottom and slide it back into the Housing Mounting Plate. For
storage and travel, remove the back o-ring and place in a small plastic bag.
Place the bag inside the
housing and reattach the
housing back.
Note: The Mounting Tray
MUST be removed when
changing a camera battery
or SD card.
