    Do not use lubricants from other brands with the silicone rubber O-ring on this housing, only use the lubricant provided by ISOTTA. After checking the O-ring to make sure that there are no scratches, dust, or debris, apply a light coating of silicone grease to the entire O-ring with your finger.

    QUICK START GUIDE Remove any straps and eyelets from the camera as seen on page 8 1. REMOVE THE BACK FROM THE FRONT Apply a slight upward pull to the locking knob and rotate anticlockwise until the pin is visible. Slightly lift the Back until it comes out from the guide pin on the knob. Remove the Back slantwise, paying attention to the two pins on the opposite side.
  • Page 12: Parts Of The Housing

    PARTS OF THE HOUSING FRONT All camera controls are external and are laser-engraved with the symbols for the camera functions. Please refer to the Identification of Parts manual to see all controls of the housing. All key Nikon D850 camera controls can be accessed. The front ends with the port/lens mount hole that allows to mount different ports.
  • Page 13 HANDLES The handles of the DSLR housing are removable and adjustable in distance from the housing via optional handles extensions. Depending on the need they extend the space between the handles and the housing’s body to improve their use even with gloves on. It is also possible to use the T-socket present on the handles to attach various accessories.
  • Page 14: Opening And Locking The Housing

    OPENING AND LOCKING THE HOUSING Opening and closing the housing: 1. To open the housing place it on a flat surface, standing upright. 2. It is very important to lift the selector AF/M on the right of the housing before placing the camera inside.

    (with a field of view of 180°) as there might be a slight vignetting. With Sea & Sea, Subal and Seacam ports with Isotta ex- tension rings this does not happen as the extension to the port is at the same distance.
  • Page 18: Using The Flash

    USING THE FLASH You can use the external flashes with the following modalities: With OPTICAL FIBER Two fiber optic connectors are present on the housing top with standard “Sea & Sea” fitting. In this case you have to use the bushings for optical fiber placed on the top. Pass the optical fiber cable of the flash in the specific space on the bushing.
  • Page 19 N.B. If you normally use the optical fiber cable we recommend to keep the trigger always in the [ON] position. This avoids the necessity to switch on the trigger once in water (the trigger does not consume his battery).
  • Page 20: Important Note Using The Flash

    IMPORTANT NOTES USING THE FLASH When using Sea & Sea Strobe YS-D2 Please see also Sea & Sea Instruction manual for further details. To work in manual mode with TTL trigger you have to change the code on the strobe. Set the Mode selector to [OFF] (the flash must be off) (figure 01).
  • Page 21 Push When using Flash INON Z240 and Z330 To use the flash in Manual mode with TTL trigger make sure the knob on the right side is on the UP position. Please refer to INON Normal instruction manual for Push details.ndo si further usano flash...

An internal electric circuit controls the two syncro cords by means of 3 switches. If the switch is positioned on [OFF] it will be possible to work with the flash in manual mode;...
  • Page 23 ATTENTION: to attach a strobe via electrical sync cord you have to use the bushings with syncro socket placed on the side of housing. A bulkhead cap or sync cord must be attached to the housing for waterproof operation. Never submerge the housing without either a sync cord or waterproof bulkhead cap attached.
  • Page 24: Troubleshooting

    Apply lubricant to the button. Press the button several times to distribute the lubricant. N.B.* Don’t use vaseline grease on the O-ring seals. We recommend the use of original ISOTTA products. • THE FLASH DO NOT SHOOT IN SYNCRO MODE Make sure you have inserted the hotshoe contact all the way down and check that you entered correctly the flash contact.
  • Page 25: Warnings

    WARNINGS • CHECK the housing before installing the camera after dispatch or transport it by plane. • DON’T TRANSPORT the housing hermetically sealed on a plane. Always remove the port or the rear cap or the rear cap’s o-rings. If you remove the O-rings, then remember to put them back on.
  • Page 26: Care And Maintenance

    N.B. : never use Vaseline oil to lubricate the O-rings, use only silicone grease. We recommend the use of Isotta products. - Do not use solvents, thinners, or alcohol to clean the port, the eye-piece or the monitor. - Treat the surface of the lens port like a camera lens. After use, rinse and gently dry the outside lens port to avoid water spotting.
