We hope you have a wonderful underwater experience with Light & Motion equipment.
To increase your enjoyment and the life span of your new gear please take an extra
minute to review these general recommendations.
• Check the operation of all your equipment several weeks prior to your trip. If
maintenance or repair is necessary, then time is available for both shipping and repair
scheduling.
• Never transport or ship the housing with the camera inside. This may damage your
camera.
• Never leave your housing in the rinse tank, it may be damaged by other equipment.
• When removing the camera from the housing after a dive, do so in a dry controlled
environment away from other SCUBA related equipment. This prevents water from
other equipment or water from another diver accidentally entering the housing.
• If a product is flooded, immediately rinse it with fresh water. Most parts will be
salvageable if not corroded by salt water.

Shooting the Tetra 5060
ROC Defined
ROC is a revolutionary new strobe controller that is built into the Tetra 5060 housing.
ROC enables the photographer to shoot in Digital TTL and Manual
exposure modes. Both modes are accessed and strobe power levels controlled through
the LED panel located on the back of the Tetra 5060 (Refer fig 23).
Programming ROC
ROC only functions successfully by programming the type of strobe(s) being used.
Program ROC prior to diving. Once ROC is programmed it will never have to be re-
programmed unless a different model strobe is attached. ROC will retain its programming
even when the ROC battery is changed or removed.
ROC’s default strobe profile is for Sea & Sea YS-90DX/90Duo/90 Auto/60/50. If you are
using different strobe(s) use the following procedure to change the ROC strobe profile.
If you use different type or brands of strobes with the Tetra 5060, only one type may be
programmed. When shooting in manual mode the un-programmed strobe’s light output
may not correspond exactly with the f/stop scale of the ROC LED panel.
1. “Wake-up” ROC by pressing the ROC button (Fig. 23).
2. Press and hold the ROC Power button until the power level LED begins to blink.
3. Press the +/- buttons to position the power level LED in the appropriate location. Refer
(Fig. 24) to determine which location is for which type of strobe.
4. When the power level LED is positioned in the appropriate location, press the ROC
button to activate the strobe profile. ROC will save this profile and then return you to
whatever power level the strobe was in previously.
During the programming process, if programming is idle for 60 seconds ROC will record
the strobe profile of the current LED position and enter stand-by mode.
ROC Stand-by and Time Out schedule
ROC is fully active when it shows the strobe power level or the Status LED is illuminated
green (green indicates TTL mode).
After 60 seconds of inactivity ROC enters stand-by mode. ROC is still active but turns
off the LEDs to conserve battery power. ROC will return to the active mode by pressing
any ROC button or the shutter release.
14

If ROC is in stand-by mode and the shutter button is pressed, ROC will process the
shutter command and return to the active status.
ROC will turn off after 30 minutes of inactivity.You must press the ROC button to turn
ROC on again.
Using ROC for manual strobe control
1. Turn strobe(s) on and in the TTL position.Turn the camera’s flash off.
2. Press the ROC button to turn on ROC and press again to switch ROC to Manual mode
from TTL.When in Manual mode, status LED is off.
3. Press the + button to increase the strobe’s power or the - button to decrease the
strobe’s power.
Shooting the Tetra 5060 with ROC in TTL
Not all strobes are capable of the double-flash performance required by the Tetra 5060’s
TTL system. The following list show the strobes that ARE
compatible.
Ikelite DS-125
Ikelite DS-50
Sea & Sea YS-350/300
Sea & Sea YS-120
Sea & Sea YS-90DX/90/60/50
Sea & Sea YS-30
If your strobe is not compatible, you will not be able to toggle between TTL and Manual
modes. ROC will always be in manual mode.
1. Turn strobe(s) on and in the TTL position.Turn on the camera’s flash.
2. Press the ROC button to turn on ROC.TTL is indicated by a green status LED.
After a photo is taken the power level will indicate the output power level the strobe
produced.
If the status LED flashes red and green alternately, this is a signal the strobe didn’t
produce enough light to properly expose the photo.
If TTL is not providing the desired exposure you can switch to manual with a push of a
button. If you want more light press the “+” button. For less light press the “-” button.

Shooting Techniques
Digital cameras have many features and controls that initially seem overwhelming. The
controls listed below are the most commonly accessed with the Tetra. It is
recommended to familiarize yourself with these controls first and understand how they
assist you with digital underwater photography.
Zoom Lever (Refer fig 25):
Use the lever to optically increase or decrease the distance from your subject. For most
subjects zoom wide when shooting wide-angle and zoom in when shooting macro.
Flower Button (Refer fig. 26):
Press this button to activate the Auto Focus and Macro Mode of the camera.When you
are close to subjects, activate the Macro mode to allow the camera to focus closer.
Quick View Button (Refer fig. 27):
To view your photo after you take it, press the Quick View button. This allows you to
study the photo for exposure and composition.
Control Dial (Refer fig. 28):
In Manual mode, use the Control Dial to change shutter-speeds. Use the Control dial in
conjunction with the Exp. Comp. button to change f-stops.
ROC (Refer fig. 29):
ROC delivers dynamic strobe control to make subtle or dramatic lighting changes
without making changes to the f/stop, shutter speed, strobe position, subject distance or
composition. Simply press the “+” button for more light or the “-”
button for less light.
Shutter Release (Refer fig 25):
To take a photo, press the shutter button. Press and hold the shutter release
Exposure Compensation Button (Refer fig. 30):
When shooting in Manual Mode, press and hold the Exposure Compensation button
while turning the Jog Dial to change f/stops.

(Fig. 26)(Fig. 25)

Replacing ROC Housing battery
ROC will indicate a low battery status by flashing a slow red Status LED.
1. Replacement battery type is CR2450 and can be found at most camera stores.
2. When installing the battery follow the + and - battery orientation on the circuit board.
ROC will retain the most recent strobe profile programmed even when the battery has
been removed (Refer fig 31).
Moisture Alarm
The Tetra 5060’s moisture alarm gives a visual indication that water has been detected
inside of the housing (Refer fig 32).
The two metal contacts at the bottom right of the ROC board in the Tetra Rear Plate
are the sensing contacts that react to water (Fig. 32). If water touches these contacts the
ROC LED panel will display an array of lights.
The moisture alarm will continue its display of lights until it no longer detects water and
continue the display for 5 additional minutes.To terminate the alarm , clear the contacts
of moisture and press the “+” button for three seconds.

Attaching a focus light
Why use a focus light?
Night diving , wreck diving, cave exploration or heavy kelp canopies are diving scenarios
where ambient light is not available to help cameras auto focus.
The Olympus 5060 auto focus system depends on identifying subject contrast.Without
a strong light source illuminating your subject, the camera may fail to focus properly or
not focus at all.
There are two type of focus lights available for the Tetra 5060.
Classic Focus Light
The Classic Focus Light is a halogen
light system powered by a light weight
rechargeable NiMH battery.
The broad beam of the Classic Focus
Light not only lights up your subject,
but doubles as a dive light and will help
you identify subjects missed by
narrower lights.
Tetra Pointer Light
The pointer lights is a simple solution
for adding just enough light. The
pointer light provides a narrow beam
to assist your camera.The pointer light
is powered by 4 AA batteries.
