Before installing the camera in the housing we recommend

setting the camera’s Monitor Display function to Manual.

If the camera’s eyepiece sensor, located below the camera’s

viewfinder, is set to Automatic the sensor will detect the

housing and turn the Monitor Display off. See camera

instruction manual.

Remove the back from the

housing. The mounting tray

for the camera is secured to

the housing back. Position

the camera with lens on the

tray and secure it with the

mounting bolt which threads

into the camera’s tripod

socket. Use a tool or coin

to tighten the mounting

bolt so the camera bottom is flush against the tray.
