CLOSING THE HOUSING

1. Rotate the housing Control Dial
till the Auto shooting mode
symbol is positioned at the left
(image #11). Make sure not to
accidently rotate this knob any
further before closing the housing
or the symbols on the housing's
Mode knob will not be aligned
with the actual mode setting on
the camera. This will not affect
functionality of the camera and
the actual mode setting for the
camera can always be confirmed by looking at the setting through the display.
2. Rotate the latch dial so that the small red tab located on the latch is pointed towards the front
side of the housing (Image #12).
3. Carefully close the back door of the housing, pushing it against the front door, while making
sure there is nothing sticking out of the housing or impairing the smooth closure of the back
door. Then firmly press the back door against the black housing body.
4. Rotate the secure dial clockwise till the lock dial clicks. The small red tab should then be

5. Gently try pulling the back door away from the black housing body. If the housing is properly
closed, it should be impossible to open the back door.
6. Visually inspect the black O-ring through the transparent back door for proper closure. Make
sure it isn't twisted or out of the groove and that no foreign matter has been caught in the
seal, such as tethers, sand, grit, hairs or any other foreign substance.
7. Turn the camera on and check that the
extended camera lens does not catch or
bend the black rubber seat on the inside of
the lens port. It is vital that this rubber
seat does not disturb the lens (Image #14).
8. Test housing control buttons to make sure
that the camera was properly installed
inside the housing and that nothing
interferes with normal operation of the
camera. It is recommended to take a few
images once the camera has been installed
inside the housing and prior to the dive in
order to ensure proper operation.
9. If making use of the internal camera flash, install the removable flash diffuser on the housing
and attach the flash diffuser quick release tether in order to avoid losing it underwater. Please
refer to the section "Using the Built-in Camera Flash" for further information.
10. Prior to diving with the housing, submerge it in a shallow tub of water or rinse tank. Carefully
look at the housing to make sure no bubbles are escaping from it and that no water is entering.

REMOVING THE CAMERA FROM THE HOUSING

1. After use, thoroughly rinse the housing fresh water. Prior to opening the housing, make sure both
your hands and the housing are clean and dry. It is recommended to have a clean, dry and soft
towel handy in order to dry your hands and the water drops on the housing.
2. When opening the housing, it is important to hold it so the lens port is facing down. This will
prevent the camera from slipping out of the housing while being opened.
3. Open the housing as described in the section "Opening the Housing" and carefully remove the
camera from the housing. Take sufficient care that no water drips from your hair or body into the
housing or onto the camera.
