WARNING ! DO NOT PLACE ANY TYPE OF LENS

ADAPTER OR LENS FILTER OTHER THAN AMPHIBICO

ACCESSORIES ON THE CAMCORDER.

Doing so can cause severe damage to the unit when

inserting camcorder into housing.

PLACING THE CAMCORDER INTO THE HOUSING

By now the camcorder is set, installed to the saddle and

ready to be placed inside the housing.

1. Turn ON the camera.

2. Line up the camcorder and saddle with the docking tray

found inside the housing.

Watch the cables !

3. Begin to insert the camcorder by placing the front of the

saddle over the docking tray. This will allow you to better

locate the rails on the docking tray.

4. Slide the camcorder all the way until the saddle connector

makes contact with the docking tray connector.

5. Rotate the handle on the saddle to secure the camcorder

into the housing. This will also guaranty a perfect connection

for the saddle connector.

CLOSING THE HOUSING

1. While the housing is open, inspect the two o-rings and

the sealing surface for dirt and debris. If necessary, clean

them with a lint free tissue. Make sure that the two o-rings

and the sealing surface are clean. Then apply a small

amount of lubricant (supplied) to the o-rings.

NOTE: If you have to change your o-rings, make sure you

are using the o-rings provided with the package. Using

different o-rings than those in the o-ring kit may cause the

housing to leak and result in damage.

2. Make sure that the LANC cable doesn't block the sealing

surface. If that cable gets pinched, the system might be

intermittent or not functioning at all. Close the rear door until

the latches begin to engage.

PREPARING CAMCORDER & HOUSING

WHITE BALANCE

The capability to white balance underwater plays an

important role in achieving good quality footage. This is why

the PHENOM offers the "One Push" white balance.

Pressing on the WB button on the right grip while holding

down the shift key will allow you to toggle between manual

and automatic white balance. Once in manual mode, you

can choose between white balance preset, memory A and

memory B by holding down the shift key and pressing down

on the appropriate button found on the right grip. Use the

WB button to store the adjusted white balance value in

memory A or B.

DISPLAY Toggle

This function allows you to display ON or OFF the

camcorder's information in the viewfinder while recording or

in playback mode. To access this function, simply press the

DISP button on the right grip.
