SETTING UP THE HOUSING

Note

PREPARING THE CAMERA

1. Install a (preferably empty) memory card (16 GB+ capacity recommended) and a fully charged
battery inside the camera. Note that SDXC Class10 or UHS-I compatible memory cards are
required for high frame rate recording with the RX100 VI.
2. Remove the camera strap from the camera if one was installed.
3. Turn the Mode Dial so the Auto (green symbol) shooting mode is selected and aligned with the
white mark on the left of the wheel. This will allow for the camera and housing mode dials to be
aligned, so the housing mode dial will indicate the proper mode selected by the camera dial.
4. It is recommended to program the camera to the most frequently used underwater photo mode,
lighting and other key settings prior to installing the camera in the housing.
5. Verify that the camera zoom speed is set to "Normal" on the camera menu. See Zoom Control
Important Notice on page 7 for further information.

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. 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 on the following page).
c. Install the housing side of the diffuser quick release secure line by tying it around the
upper rectangular loop at the top left side of the housing, where the Fiber Optic Cable
Plate secure string is attached to as well (image #2 on the following page). Please note
that this line may come assembled and then there is no need for installation.

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 transport and after long
periods of storage.
