Insert D-50 camera and lens in housing:

• Mount camera and lens on the removable tray, using the tripod screw.

• Slide the tray and camera into the housing tray slot. Make sure it is

completely inserted.

• Slide the flash sync cord into the D-50’s hot shoe.

• Align the housing controls with the corresponding buttons on the camera.

Take caution to insure the flat sync cord does not get caught in the housing

seal by storing the slack alongside the left side of the camera.

• Place housing back over front and align the complete mating surface of the

housing and the gasket, forming a proper seal.

• Position all three latches over latch hooks in ready position.

• Close all three latches at one time. If it is not possible to close all three

latches at the same time, close the bottom latch first, maintaining pressure

on the other side. Then close the two side latches simultaneously.

• Inspect the gasket seal for proper closure. A complete seal can be visually

confirmed by looking for the black line made by the gasket around the

complete circumference of the housing.

Take a Test Dive:

• Make the first dive without camera in housing.

This will give you a chance to inspect the housing

seal for proper closure. In this case, any mistakes

will not result in the loss of the camera.

• Operate all controls under pressure in the water and

inspect for watertight seal.

• Before all dives, immerse the housing in the camera

rinse tank, and press all buttons, to visually inspect

for any leakage.

• While descending on every dive carefully observe

the housing. If you see any bubbles rising from it or

water entering surface immediately while holding

the lens port in a downward position. Once on dry

land carefully open the housing, take out the camera

and dry it off if any water is on it and check to see if

there is any damage. Please inspect the housing,

rinse it in fresh water, dry it out and then take a dive

without the camera in the housing to check for leaks

or other malfunctions.
