the housing and the lock has engaged. Close both lid snaps at the
same time.

Attaching a Lens Port

Refer to the DLM/C lens port chart to find compatible lens ports for a
wide variety of popular wide angle, zoom, and macro lenses.
Choose a dome port for wide angle and zoom lenses. Larger diameter
domes are better for split shots (half-in, half-out of the water) and
provide sharper images.
Choose a flat port for macro lenses. Flat ports magnify the subject
underwater. Flat ports are not recommended for wide angle or zoom
lenses due to their limited field of view and risk of vignetting (dark
shadows around the edges of the image).

of debris.
