PREPARING CAMCORDER & HOUSING
ADJUSTING THE IRIS AND MENU KNOBS
Both the IRIS and MENU knobs are factory adjusted.
However these knobs may need to be adjusted because
camcorders do tend to vary in size, Therefore, it is
recommended to try out these two knobs after the initial
camcorder insertion (p.8). Difficulty in operating either the
IRIS or the MENU knob could indicate that adjustments are
required on the knobs.
To make the adjustments
1. Remove the camcorder from the housing.
2. Using the supplied allen key, loosen the set screw of
either the IRIS or MENU knob mechanism as illustrated. This
will release the o-ring friction plate and allow you to adjust it
by turning it CW or CCW for more or less friction on the
camcorder. Once the adjustment is made, re-tighten the set
screw.
3. Replace the camcorder into the housing and try the knobs
once again for proper operation. Repeat procedure if
necessary.
VIEWFINDER EYEPIECE
The viewfinder eyepiece located on the
rear of the housing may also need
adjustment. To adjust, simply turn the
inside ring on the viewfinder CW or
CCW to achieve perfect focus with the
camcorder viewfinder. Tighten the
locking ring up against the viewfinder
body to lock the eyepiece in place once
adjusted.
REPLACING THE BAYONET LENS
The PHENOM is provided with a wide angle bayonet
mounted lens. In order to protect the optics, covers are
provided with the lens.
1. To remove the lens, push and hold the button on the lower
right of the front bulkhead and then turn counter clockwise
until the lugs are free from the bayonet ring. Pull gently on
the lens to release it.
2. Remove the covers from the replacement lens. Place
them in a clean and dry environment to avoid any damage.
Make sure the seals on the bottom part of the lens are clean
and free from dust and debris.
3. Put a small amount of lubricant on the o-ring seals and
the sealing surface of the housing.
4. Line up the bayonet lug marked by a hole with the printed
dot on the front bulkhead of the housing. Push the lens all
the way until it sits on the bayonet ring and turn clockwise.
You will hear a positive click and the lens will lock into place.
