8.5 Camera Cover Cap
The camera cover cap is attached to the camera cover by a single hinge. There is a screw
located at the center of this hinge which can be tightened or loosened to adjust the tightness
of the cap. The system will be delivered with the screw tightened so that the cover cap will
remain in place during transportation. If you need to lift the cap to obtain access to the
camera, you will need to loosen this screw first.
