Step 3:Attach adapter around housing lens port so
that it is seated into the flash window recess.
If using two Flash Links, attach other cable in second hole and follow above instructions.

7. Do not allow any water droplets to get inside housing. This will cause the inside of the housing to fog.
8. Close housing lid tightly. Make sure there are no obstructions that prevent the housing from closing.
Make sure lid is tightly pressed into housing.
9. Close housing latch. Make sure the lid is pressed evenly against the housing body look for obvious gaps
which indicates something is trapped. The housing may leak if the lid is not evenly against the housing
when closed. It is normal to see a small even gap between the housing lid and body.
Test camera and housing
1. Press the small power button on the top of the housing to turn camera power on.
2. Press the large shutter button on the outside of the housing to take a test picture.
3. The power or shutter button should have a smooth action and return to its original resting position after
pressing. It is normal to feel some resistance when pressing the power and shutter button.
4. Press and hold power button to turn camera power off. It is recommended to leave camera power off
until you’re ready to use camera to preserve battery power.
5. After 30 seconds the LCD and monitor will turn off, and the camera will in go into power save mode. To re-
activate power, push any button.
6. After 3 minutes the camera power will shut down. To operate the camera, push the POWER BUTTON to
turn on the camera.

3. Move calmly and control your buoyancy before taking a picture.
It is very hard to take good pictures when you are moving. Look around for great picture opportunities.
First position yourself at the best angle, and neutralize your buoyancy. Second, use the LCD monitor to
perfectly frame your subject, check your shooting distance and keep the camera steady. Third, be calm and
patient: Sometimes you have to wait a little bit so the fish that were frightened away, come back. Don’t
chase the fish, let the fish come to you.
Always be in control of your buoyancy before taking pictures and observe all safe-diving rules.
4. Shoot many pictures of the same subject - If you don’t like it, delete it - later.
One of the great advantages of digital cameras is that you can review and delete pictures later, so shoot
several pictures of the same subject. One of the best ways to learn underwater photography is from your
good pictures and bad pictures.
5. Use Wide Angle Lens for dramatic pictures.
The SeaLife Wide Angle lens allow you to get close to your subject for images full of colors and razor-sharp
details.
With the 24mm wide-angle lens you fit a close group of 4 dive buddies or a 6-foot (180 cm) shark at a
shooting distance of 6 feet (180 cm). Normally, you would have to be 10 feet away, too far for a sharp
picture.
6. Use the SeaLife Flash Accessories to enhance color and brightness.
Water filters out light and red/yellow colors resulting in darker, bluer images. The only way to prevent this
from occurring is by taking pictures at shallow depths (within 10-15’ depth on a sunny day) or by using
artificial light, like the SeaLife External (SL960) or Digital (SL960D) Flash. The Flash easily mounts to the
bottom of the housing. The flexible arm allows you to direct the flash at the subject. Even two flashes can
be mounted onto the housing for an evenly illuminated and shadow-free image. This system blocks the
built-in flash and prevents backscatter. The flexible flash arms allow quick adjustments of the flash. An
optional Flash Diffuser can be snapped onto the flash head and is highly recommended for close-up shots
of bright, reflective subjects.
EN-106
7. Use the QuickShoot Mode for fast moving objects.
Some fish move very fast and are difficult to photograph. Using the QuickShoot Mode allows you to set the
focusing and exposure for a particular underwater scene. When the QuickShoot mode is enabled, the
camera’s shutter lag (shutter response time) is less than 1 second so you don’t miss the fish. Inn SeaMode,
shutter lag is 0.68 seconds when QuickShoot is enabled. In External Flash mode, shitter lag is 0.17 seconds
when QuickShoot is enabled.
