Removing The Ca Mera From The Housing - Fantasea Line FA6400 Instruction Manual

9. Note that once the camera has been installed inside the housing, if placing the housing on a surface
with the lens port facing down, its center of gravity will necessarily make the housing drop on its
side, potentially causing damage to the camera and housing. Therefore, it is best to avoid placing
the housing on a surface with the lens port facing down. If the housing must be placed with the lens
port facing down, make sure to support it so it doesn't drop on its side.
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. Open the housing as described in the section "Opening the Housing". Take sufficient care that no
water drips from your hair and body onto the housing and camera.
3. If an accessory is connected to the camera
hot‐shoe, disconnect it to allow for safe
camera removal.
4. Turn the camera tray port lock rightwards,
to the "UNLOCK" position (image #34).
5. Remove the camera tray from its port by
gently sliding it out.
6. Loosen the screw that secures the camera
to the tray.
7. Remove the camera from the tray.
8. Reinstall the tray inside the housing to
avoid losing it.
18. When using an exceptionally large lens
which cannot be removed from the housing with the camera, as it's too large to pass through
the housing lens port hole, the lens should be dismounted prior to removing the camera from
the housing. Follow the steps below:
a. After use, thoroughly rinse the housing fresh water as described in step 1 above.
b. Remove the lens port from the housing (see section "Installing and Removing Lens
Ports").
c. Detach the lens from the camera. With one hand, push the "Lens Release Control". With
the other, grab the lens and turn it counterclockwise until it cannot be turned any farther
(image #35 on the following page). Once the lens has been turned, it can be removed
from the camera by pulling it away from the camera body.
d. Remove the camera from the housing by following steps 2‐8 above.
