SETTING UP THE HOUSING

It is important that a first dive is always taken with the housing empty (no
Note
camera installed inside) in order to verify that the housing watertight seal
has not been affected during transport and after long periods of storage

PREPARING THE CAMERA

1. Install a (preferably empty) memory card (16 GB+ capacity recommended) and a fully charged
battery inside the camera. It is recommended that you use the camera's Format Media function to
properly format the memory card for the camera.
2. If installed, remove the camera strap from the camera.
3. Rotate the Mode Dial so the Auto shooting mode is selected and aligned with the white mark on the
left of the wheel. This will assist in allowing for the camera and housing mode dials to be aligned so
the housing Mode Dial will indicate the proper mode selected by the camera's Mode Dial. To
properly align both the Mode Dials on the camera and housing please see the instructions regarding
Closing the Housing.
4. It is recommended that you program the camera to the most frequently used underwater photo
mode, lighting and other key settings such as Control Ring and Ring Func. prior to installing the
camera in the housing.

PREPARING THE HOUSING

1. When using the housing for the first time-
a. Peel the transparent plastic screen protector off the back door exterior of the housing.
b. If not using the housing on a tray, install the hand lanyard on the housing by inserting it
through the lanyard loop on the bottom right of the housing (facing from back), then pulling
it through itself and testing it in order to make sure it is secure (Image #1).
c. Install the housing side of the diffuser quick release tether by tying it around the lower
rectangular loop at the bottom left side of the housing (Image #2). Please note that this may
be pre-installed on your housing, in which case there is no need for installation.
d. Open the housing (see section "Opening the Housing") and remove the anti-glare hood from
the housing. Secure the anti-glare hood to the housing by tying its tether around the lower
rectangular loop at the bottom left side of the housing. Install the anti-glare hood over the

anti-glare hood rails at the back of the housing. First install the anti-glare hood over the top
rail (Image #3) and then gently and carefully stretch it downward until it is secured on both
the bottom and top rails. (Image #4).
e. If using a Hand Strap, install it on the two loops found at the right side of the housing.
Please refer to the section "Hand Strap" for further information.
f. It is important that a first dive with the housing is always made without the camera in the
housing in order to verify that the watertight seal has not been damaged or dislocated
during transport or after long periods of storage.
