Rear Dial Knob Use (control #2): The knob's white dot should be in the 12
o'clock position when not in use, preventing the camera dial from being
pushed. This is necessary so the camera will not receive a signal which
could lock out other camera functions. To change functions using the Rear
Dial, lift and rotate the knob until the white dot is in the 6 o'clock position.
Push in and release once or twice until the desired control function is
highlighted in the lower portion of your LCD screen. Rotate the knob away
from the 6 o'clock position to the desired setting. DO NOT rotate the knob
white dot to the 6 o'clock position while a setting is being made, otherwise
the chosen camera function may inadvertently change. If necessary, lift the
knob to bypass the 6 o'clock position to reach the desired setting. Once the
desired setting is reached, lift and return the knob white dot to the 12
o'clock position. Check to make sure your desired settings are correct.

Opening the Housing
Lid Snaps have a Lock. To open housing, push
Lid Snap Lock forward and lift as shown. Keep
pressure on the Lid Snap so it does not fly open
quickly. Some Lid Snaps have a lot of spring
tension once they go over center, so keep a firm
grip on the Snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.
Installing the Camera
1. When NOT using external strobes, Raise Camera Flash.
2. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls
out of the way for installation of the camera.
3. Remove the back from the housing.
4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera on the tray.
5. Slide the housing Hotshoe Connector into the Camera Hotshoe Mount:
Diagram B - Page 6. Slide the connector forward until it stops. This
should be done before the camera is secured with the mounting bolt.
Note: If you are using an EV Manual Controller and NOT hard-wiring your
strobes directly to the housing, leave the housing hotshoe disconnected
from the camera. You will also need to install the Flash Deflector
(supplied) over the housing port to block and deflect the camera flash to
the EV Controller: Page 10.
6. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera to the
mounting tray with the tray mounting bolt. The bolt threads into the
camera's tripod socket: Diagram A - Page 7.
Closing the Housing
1. Place housing face down in your lap or on flat surface.
2. Check to see that there is an o-ring on
the housing back and that it is clean
and in its proper location.
3. Guide the back into the housing front.
The o-ring should touch the housing
all the way around. There should be
an even gap all the way around
between the housing and the housing
back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended
and place each lid snap into the
corresponding hook on the housing
back.
5. To close the housing, push down on
the lid snaps until they snap into
place. Lid snaps on opposite sides of
the housing should be closed at the
same time. Be sure they are down far
enough to engage the lock.
Double check - Once the housing is
closed, check the o-ring seal. The gap
between the housing back and the housing 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 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.
