this supplement along with the general instruction
manual to become familiar with its features

The camera's LCD monitor can be viewed from the rear of the housing, using

the external mirror featured on the side of the housing.

Open the LCD monitor on the camera, rotate 180°, and then press it back against
the side of the camera. The external mirror is hinged so that it can be opened to reflect
the image from the camera's LCD monitor for viewing from the rear of the housing.

During transportation, please remember to close the mirror by pressing it against
the rubber on the lid snap.

BBAATTTTEERRYY AANNDD TTAAPPEE

Install a fully charged Sony battery on the camera:

Sony NP-FH50, NP-FH60 , NP-FH70

Other brand batteries may not fit inside the housing.

Make sure you have loaded an appropriate digital cassette tape in the camera.

The housing’s port accepts optional 67mm threaded waterproof Wide-Angle lenses
such as the Ikelite #6420 W-20, Epoque DCL-20 and Inon UWL-100 Type 2 and Sea&Sea
(58070). These waterproof lenses secure to the outside of the lens port.

Should you elect to use the optional Ikelite #6420 W-20, Epoque, Inon or Sea&Sea
lens, carefully thread the waterproof lens on the front of the lens port. The lens threads
are very fine;
turn, you are cross threading.

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.

On certain Sony camera models, (DCR-SR-32/42), there will not be a remote
plug in for the reversing circuitry. On these models, the image in the mirror will be
reversed. Right will be left and left will be right.

An on/off switch is featured on the reversing circuit. If the Reversing Circuitry is
in the ON position when connected to the camera the LCD image will automatically
reverse. If the Reversing Circuitry is in the OFF position when connected to the
camera the LCD image will not reverse. Use the housings Reversing Circuitry ON/OFF
control to correct the image for viewing in the mirror.

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.

FFuunnccttiioonnss LLoocckkeedd OOuutt

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 LCD controls that extend from the back and side of the housing are designed
to access all P-MENU boxes. The primary reason for these is to adjust the WHITE
BALANCE controls. When the camera powers up, the white balance pad will NOT be
on the LCD P-MENU screen. This will need to be added to the P-MENU screen. Go to
your Sony Instruction book on how to do this.

Initially set the white balance to Auto. Use the touch screen controls on the
housing to change white balance.

The camera mounts to the tray, which extends from the back plate of the

housing.

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.

Check that the o’ring is clean and
properly positioned on the lip of the
clear housing back plate.

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, (see Image Reversing Circuit).

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.
