The image reversing circuit is mounted inside the housing. The circuit reverses
(flips) the image and words on the LCD screen so that when the image is reflected
in the external mirror, it appears correct left-to-right.
Secure the camera to the tray and partially slide the camera and tray inside the
housing so you can then connect the cable from the reversing circuit to the Remote
port on the camera. The reversing circuit will automatically turn ON when connected
to the camera and the camera is ON; the image and words in the LCD screen will
appear in reverse.

An on/off switch is featured on the reversing circuit. Use the reversing circuit
control on the housing to access the on/off switch on the circuit. The circuit will
automatically turn ON when connected to the camera and the camera is ON.
When turning the camera OFF, there is a 5-minute standby power down delay
on the camera that occurs when the reversing circuit is ON during power down.
Therefore to avoid the 5-minute power down delay, turn the camera OFF and also
turn the circuit OFF to power down the camera immediately.

When the reversing circuit is ON, some camera functions may be locked out. To
correct for such a problem, temporarily turn the circuit OFF, change the function on
the camera, and then turn the circuit back ON.
The camera’s Microphone is also disabled when the reversing circuit is on.

The camera's auto focus feature is utilized underwater. For best results, move in
close to your subject and use the wide angle range to shoot thru as little water as
possible. The full zoom range is accessible underwater.
Turn the camera’s built-in flash OFF. Chart shows recommended initial settings
underwater.

The camera mounts to the tray, which extends from the back plate
of the housing. D DO O N NO OTT remove the tray from the back plate.
Position the camera against the two
stabilizing pins on the tray and secure with
the camera mounting bolt. The camera
should fit easily on the tray and should
be parallel with the sides of the tray.
Make certain that the lens shade has been
threaded completely into the camera to avoid
any potential clearance or sealing problems when
the camera is installed and the housing is sealed.

Check that the o’ring is clean and properly positioned on the lip of the clear
housing back plate. Check that the lens shade is completely threaded into the camera.
Once the camera is mounted to the tray as shown above, pull the housing
controls out to provide clearance for installing the camera. Partially slide the camera
into the housing so you can connect the reversing circuit cable to the Remote port
on the camera. Make sure the lens shade on the front of the camera fits into the
port recess in the front of the housing.
D DO O N NO OTT force this installation; the camera and tray should slide easily into place
so the housings back plate o’ring is resting against the main housing body. In this
position the lid snaps can be positioned over the lid hooks on the housing back plate
and snapped into position to seal the housing.

Slide the housing controls back in place making sure they properly align with the
camera functions.
Operate each control to see how it works with the camera. Some controls such
as start/stop will be used frequently. Other controls may seldom be utilized. Refer to
your camera owner's manual for the proper function of each camera control. Look
thru the back to be sure that you can see into the viewfinder.
When using the housing controls, especially the start/stop, do NOT use excessive force
because you could damage the camera.
