Using a 9/16” open/box end or socket Wrench (no supplied), firmly
tighten the External Tray and Spacer to the Housing Base using the two
3/8-16 Nuts and Washers supplied in the accessory package. One side
of the Spacer has an adhesive backing. Remove the Protective Film to
adhere the Spacer to the Tray.
Note: Tray and Handle may be attached before or after the camera is
secured in the Housing. We recommend attaching it immediately to avoid
scratching table tops with the Tray Mounting Bolts.

This product has been water pressure tested at the factory and is depth

housing completely in water before installing a camera. If any fogging
occurs or droplets of water enter the housing, do not install a camera.
Clean the main housing o-ring and retest to make sure that it is
watertight. Refer to the Troubleshooting section, page 21.

- Set Review Info to “Off” and IS Mode to “Continuous.”
- Set DR Correction to “Off” and AWB White Balance to “Auto.”
- Set Shooting Mode to “Single Shot .”
- Set ND Filter to “Off” and Still Image Aspect Ratio to 4:3.
- Set Image Type to “ PEG 12M” and Image Compression to “L.”
- Set ISO to “80” and Metering to “Center Weighted Avg .”
- In the ower Saving Menu, set Auto Power Down to “Off” and Display

- Raise the camera flash before placing camera in housing when NOT
using external strobes. DO NOT attach the housing Hotshoe Connector.
Set Flash to “Flash always fires .”
- When using external strobes, DO NOT raise the camera flash. Instead,
attach the housing hotshoe - page 10, diagram A.
- Set Macro mode to “On” when shooting close-up. If the image
is overexposed, use “-” Flash Exposure Compensation
and/or back away, zoom in, and then reshoot.
Notes:
TTL Flash is NOT available when camera is in “M” Manual mode. There
is no TTL flash even with Canon's own flash in the camera "M" mode.
Manual power settings can be selected in the “Flash Control” section of
the camera menu. The strobe should still be left in TTL mode to take
advantage of this feature.
Leave the housing hotshoe disconnected when using ONLY the camera
flash and no external strobes, or when using an EV manual
controller. If using an EV controller in “M” Manual mode, set the EV
controller to “non-Pre-flash.”
When multiple exposure (continuous shooting) mode is used with a
non-TTL flash, the external flash will not fire.

Installing the Camera
1. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls
out of the way for installation of the camera.
2. Remove the back from the housing.
3. Remove camera lanyard from camera if attached.
4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera on the tray.
5. Slide the housing Hotshoe Connector into the Camera Hotshoe Mount
- page 10, diagram A.
Slide the connector forward until it stops. This
should be done before the camera is secured with the mounting bolt
- page 10, diagram B.
Note: If you are using an EV Controller or slave strobe and NOT hardwiring
your strobes directly to the housing, leave the housing hotshoe
disconnected from the camera. You will also need to install the Flash
Deflector (supplied) into the external port groove to block and deflect the
camera flash to the EV controller - page 13. Refer to page 11 when using
ONLY the Built-in Camera Flash.
6. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera with the Tray
Mounting Bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket - page 10,
diagram B.
