contamination.
Note: If the O-ring is in good contact, a thin black line, about 0.5 to 1mm in width should be
visible, where the O-ring is in contact with the lid. Follow this line all the way round the
edge of the seal, as a final check that the seal is good.
4.6 Using External Strobes:
The standard Bulkhead is SHF5 and Bulkhead NKF5 can be replaced upon request.
Connect the strobe sync cord to housing’s bulkhead. Tighten the lock ring to secure the cord in
place. Make sue that the blank plug is secured at the bulkhead if no sync cord is connected.
The housing is now ready for the dive.
Important !!! Check the o-ring seal on the lid and should see an even and continuous
pressed o-ring path of about 0.5 – 1 mm thick
5. Use & Care of Housing
5.1 Pre Dive Function Check.
Just before entering the water, make a habit of reviewing that you have carried out the proper
steps to close the housing and the bulkhead is connected. Make a visual check of the O-ring seal.
It is also useful to switch on the camera, and check that controls e.g. on/off, zoom, shutter
functions operate normally.
l Check housing is closed
l Check O-ring is in the groove between housing and Acrylic
l Check battery and memory card status on the LCD display
l Check control knob and zoom function.
Always avoid submerging the housing in hot water for a prolonged time or a cleansing
tank where the water may be heated up by the sun.
5.2 General Operation.
The control levers and push buttons consist of internal double O-ring seals on a stainless steel shaft.
This arrangement is very reliable, however as a precaution, when operating the controls, avoid
excessively rapid movements, as this may distort the O-ring. Also please allow for the fact that the
camera takes a few seconds to power on. If the camera dose not appear to respond to a control
action, make sure that no other controls are pressing on the camera, i.e. locking out further
actions.
Wear the wrist strap; it is easy to inadvertently let go of the housing, especially if you are
distracted.
