PREPARING CAMCORDER & HOUSING
PLACING THE CAMCORDER INTO THE HOUSING
By now the camcorder is set, installed to the saddle and ready to be placed
inside the housing.
1. Turn ON the camera.
2. Line up the camcorder and saddle with the docking rails found on the left
and right sides inside the housing. Watch the cables !
3. Insert the camcorder and slide it all the way until the saddle connector makes contact with the docking tray
connector. At this point the saddle lock should have engaged on the left side of saddle.
CLOSING THE HOUSING
1. While the housing is open, inspect the two o-rings and the sealing surface for dirt and debris. If necessary, clean
them with a lint free tissue. Make sure that the two o-rings and the sealing surface are clean. Then apply a small
amount of lubricant (supplied) to the o-rings.
NOTE: If you have to change your o-rings, make sure you are using the o-rings provided with the package. Using
different o-rings than those in the o-ring kit may cause the housing to leak and result in damage.
2. Make sure that the saddle cables do not block the sealing
surface. If any cable gets pinched, the system might be intermittent or not functioning at all. Close the rear door
until the latch begins to engage.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DO NOT leave the housing exposed to direct sunshine, as extreme heat condition can be detrimental
to certain of its components.
1. Keep housing and o-rings away from direct sunlight. Always store unit when possible away from direct sunlight
as this can dry out and crack o-rings in the housing. Ultraviolet rays can damage plastics, paint and o-rings.
2. Always rinse or soak closed housing in fresh water for 10 to 15 minutes after every use. Reach into freshwater
and operate all controls to clear salt water. Do not use solvents to clean unit. If preferred, use mild detergent and
clean freshwater.
3. Fasteners that are removable should occasionally have the threads lubricated with silicon grease.
4.Rinsecleanandremovewaterspotsfromexternalltersandlenssurfaceaftereverydiveorwaterspotsmay
build up and become impossible to remove. Dry gently with a soft, lint-free cloth.
5. Inspect housing's rear door main o-ring seals (double seals) before every dive. Make sure that there are no
cracks or misalignment in the o-ring channel and that no debris is caught on the o-rings.
6. During storage or transit, leave rear door ajar on unit to prevent damage due to extreme high pressure.
SERVICING O-RINGS
1. O-rings and sealing surface should be lightly lubricated with silicon lubricant on a regular basis. This is not ne-
cessaryaftereverydive;everytenthdiveduringregularheavyuseissufcient.Thisshouldalwaysbedonebefore
storingthehousingandbeforearstdiveaftertakingthehousingoutofstorage.
2. It is important never to use a sharp instrument when removing an o-ring as this may cause damage to the o-ring
or the o-ring groove. A hairpin or a credit card works well.
3. The removed o-ring should be examined for damage. Check to make sure that the o-ring is free from nicks and
cutsandthatitretainsitsoriginalroundprole.O-ringsthatappeartobedamagedshouldbediscardedimmedia-
tely and replaced with new o-rings.
4. Rinse the o-ring with freshwater and dry it with a clean lint free cloth.
5. Clean the o-ring grooves (where the o-rings sit) with a Q-tip. Be sure to remove any lint the Q-tip may leave
behind. Inspect the groove for damage.
6. Wipe the part of the housing that the o-ring seals against with a clean lint free cloth.
7. Re-grease the o-rings with a thin layer of silicon grease until it appears to be smooth and shiny. Do not over
greaseit,usejustenoughgreasesothattheo-ringwillpullsmoothlythroughyourngers.Excessiveamountswill
only attract dirt to the o-ring.
8. Replace o-rings in their proper position on the lens assembly and on the main door seal.

TIPS & TRICKS
General Shooting Tips
1. Best results will be obtained with natural light if the sun is directly overhead during calm water periods.
2. Placing the sun behind your shoulder during shooting will produce the best colors.
3. Wide angle is the preferred focus setting for best results with subject, as close as possible to the housing.
This
will reduce the water column and the amount of particles between subject and lens.
4. Zooming during shooting is not recommended unless absolutely necessary as telephoto will magnify parti-
cles.
 Swimmingtowardsubjectisamuchmorevisuallypleasinglmingmethod.
5. Useimagestabilizerifavailableonyourcamerawhenlmingmacrotominimizecameramovementduring
 highmagnication.Imagestabilizerisnotascriticalwhileusingwideangleandwillusebatterypower
unnecessarily.
6. Buoyancy control is one of the most important aspects of underwater videography and diving in general.
Avoid
disturbing bottom silt and contacting delicate reef structures. Work on controlling your breathing and your buoyan-
cy.
Your video will be much more visually appealing. You are trying to make yourself a steady shooting plat-
form.
The less movement you make , the better your video will be. Work on attaining a comfort zone underwater. The
more comfortable you are underwater, the more controlled your breathing will be and the steadier your video will
be.
7. In low light situations, add light with optional Amphibico video lights for brighter and more vibrant colors. As
 lightlevelfallssodoescolorsaturation.Lightswillalsoprovidenecessaryllduringdaylightshooting.
Audio Tips
To eliminate any faint background noises which may come from an internal device, it is recommended to switch the
audio settings of CH1 on your camcorder from auto to manual. The audio level for CH1 should be set anywhere
between 3 and 4 once in manual mode.
Trouble Shooting
The GENESIS marine housing is equipped with a built in dia-
gnostic test mode. To activate it, simply push and hold one of
the buttons on the control panel as shown bellow while turning
on the unit with the right grip trigger button. Once activated, you
can test all the push buttons and wheels to see if the function
properly. Pushing a button or turning a wheel will light up a diffe-
rent indicator light making it either red or green. Push and hold
one of the buttons on the control panel as shown bellow to exit
diagnostic test mode.
