When Using The Housing For The First Time - Fantasea Line FA6500 Instruction Manual

7. Monitor/Finder setting - The a6500 and a6300 cameras are equipped with a sensor which is
capable of automatically switching the display between the electronic viewfinder and the LCD
monitor. Default camera settings activate this sensor and enable the automatic switch. In order
to ensure that the LCD monitor doesn't turn off automatically underwater, it is important to set
the Monitor/Finder setting to Monitor (Manual) prior to installing the camera inside the
housing. This should be done through the settings menu of the camera.
8. It is also recommended to program the camera to the most frequently used settings prior to
installing the camera in the housing. Such optional settings include assigning functions to custom
buttons (C1, C2 and C3 on a6500) and customizing menu items to include most frequently used
items.

WHEN USING THE HOUSING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Peel the transparent plastic screen protector
off the back door exterior of the housing.
2. 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 #2).
3. Open the housing (see section "Opening the
Housing") and remove the anti-glare hood out
of the housing. Secure the anti-glare hood to
the housing by tying its secure string around the lanyard 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
downwards to install it on the bottom rail, making sure it's sitting securely on both upper and
lower rails (image #4).
