Installing The Camera - Fantasea Line FA6400 Instruction Manual

3. Cleaning the O‐ring is a simple matter of wiping it with a damp, soft cloth to remove the
foreign matter. Be careful the cloth you use does not leave any of its own material behind
as this can also affect the effectiveness of the seal.
4. Apply a slight layer of Fantasea Silicone Grease on the black O‐ring. Please note that the
amount of lubrication required on the O‐ring is only enough to allow it to slip into place
without friction, so it does not twist or become dislodged. More grease is not necessarily
better, and in some cases might interfere with the watertight seal of the housing.
5. When replacing the O‐ring, place it back into the groove starting at one corner and gently
pressing it into the groove all around the housing until it is all seated in the groove and no
part of it is sticking up or out of the groove.
6. The white O‐ring featured on the back side of the front door should be visually inspected
prior to each dive. If there is any debris present, gently wipe the area with a soft microfiber
cloth in order to cleanse it.
7. The white O‐ring featured on the back side of the front door shouldn't be removed unless
it's damaged.
INSTALLING THE CAMERA
Since the FA6400 Housing is specifically designed for the Sony a6400 mirrorless digital camera, installing
the camera in the housing is quite simple.
1. If possible, it is recommended to install the camera inside the housing after the lens port has
been mounted on the housing. If using exceptionally large lenses which cannot be installed on
the camera prior to inserting it into the housing since the lens is too large be inserted through
the housing lens port hole, the lens port should be mounted on the housing only after the
camera and lens have been inserted. In such cases, please follow the instructions provided in
step 18 below for camera installation.
2. Open the housing (see section "Opening
the Housing").
3. Prepare the camera following the
instructions provided in the section
"Preparing the Camera".
4. Turn the camera tray port lock
rightwards, to the "UNLOCK" position
(image #23).
5. Remove the camera tray from its port by
gently sliding it out.
6. Prior to mounting the camera on the
tray, the camera LCD screen should be tilted in order to allow proper attachment to the tray.
