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; DO NOT cross thread. It should screw on very easily. If it is difficult to 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.
The housings port accepts optional 67mm threaded waterproof Wide-Angle lenses such as the Ikelite #6420 W-20, Epoque DCL-20 and Inon UWL-1 Type 2 and Sea&Sea 00 (58070). These waterproof lenses secure to the outside of the lens port.

Start/ Stop

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.
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.

On/Off Switch 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.
Secure the camera to the tray and partially slide the camera and tray inside the housing so you can then connect the cable from the reversing circuit to the Remote port on the camera.
CAMERAS WITH PLUG FOR REVERSE CIRCUITRY_____________________________
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 oring is clean and properly positioned on the lip of the clear housing back plate.
The camera mounts to the tray, which extends from the back plate of the housing. DO NOT remove the tray from the back plate. Oring

Functions Locked Out 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.
Stabilizing Pins on Right Side of Camera
The camera's auto focus feature is utilized underwater. For best results, move in close to your subject and use the wide angle range to shoot thru as little water as possible. The full zoom range is accessible underwater.
Remove the lens cap and cord from the camera. Otherwise, they may interfere with the housing seal.
FINAL PREPARATION_________________________________________________________
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). DO NOT force this installation; the camera and tray should slide easily into place so the housings back plate oring is resting against the main housing body. In this position the lid snaps can be positioned over the lid hooks on the housing back plate and snapped into position to seal the housing.

CAMERA

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. Col or Fil ter : When using the color filter (during the day), set camera white balance to Indoor for 0-15 foot depth. For 15-80 foot depth, set white balance to Outdoor. Initially set the white balance to Auto. Use the touch screen controls on the housing to change white balance.
