STEP 7 - Final Check

The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera and
sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls and camera
LCD screens. This housing has been factory water pressure tested to
200 ft (60 m).
Once the housing is closed, recheck the o-ring seal. Double check the
gap between the housing back and the housing. It should be even all the
way around the housing.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see a
darkened area or solid black line where the o-ring is compressed against
the housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all
the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and
close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.
The Housing Dome Port is attached from the factory and does not need to
be removed unless you are installing optional 9304.43 Flat Port for the
Canon EF-S 60mm Macro lens. The Dome Port Shade Extensions should
be at the 6 and 12 o'clock position. If they are not, gently rotate the port
on its base to align properly. Check the Port Thumb Screws for tightness
using your thumb and index finger. The Thumb Screws should be
hand-tightened only. If a Thumb Screw becomes missing or lost, there are
spares included with the Housing.

Usage

Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to get a
feel for using the camera in the housing. Take a few test shots on land.
This housing is designed to be used specifically with available light or
connected to an external strobe through the housing bulkhead ONLY.
There is no room for the pop-up flash to operate, therefore, fiber optic
cords cannot be used. If you are using an external strobe, see Page 14.
