SETTING UP THE HOUSING

IMPORTANT
NOTICE

PREPARING THE CAMERA

1. Install a (preferably empty) memory card (32 GB+ capacity recommended) and a fully charged
battery inside the camera.
2. Remove the camera strap from the camera if one was installed.
3. Note that there is no need to remove the eyepiece rubber cup, as it doesn't interfere with
installation or operation of camera inside the housing.
4. Install the selected lens on the camera and remove the lens cap from lens.
5. If making use of a lens gear and/or light shading pad, install them on the lens following the
instructions provided with these accessories.
6. Built-in Flash Push Down Reminder Sticker – Prior
to installing the camera inside the housing, the
camera built-in flash must be pushed into the
camera body. Any attempt of installing the
camera into the housing with the flash popped-
up might damage the camera and the housing
and will necessarily interfere with a proper
watertight seal of the housing. A dedicated warning sticker was designed for the purpose of
reminding you to push the built-in flash into the camera body prior to installing it into the
housing. It is recommended to attach this sticker on the camera, at the back of the popped–up
built-in flash (image #1).
7. Monitor/Finder setting - The a6000 camera is 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.
It is important that a first dive is always carried out with the housing
empty (no camera installed inside) in order to verify that the housing
watertight seal has not been affected during lens port installation, M16
port accessories installation, transport or long periods of storage.
