forward and lift as shown. Keep pressure on the Lid Snap so

that it does not fly open

Some lid snaps have a lot of

spring tension once they go

snaps may be opened one at

a time or simultaneously.

We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly

before use. If you are new to underwater photography, be sure

to read the General and Photo Tips sections.

We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly

to have a full understanding of where each camera control is

located and what function each control provides.
