Congratulations on owning a new

Gates housing

! You’ve selected a product that

will provide years of value and reliable service. This housing was custom designed for

the Panasonic HVX200 video camera for the underwater imaging professional. Please

read through this entire guide to become familiar with the Gates HVX200 housing. The

following setup guidelines will explain how to prepare and use your camera and housing

so you’ll get the best results from your video endeavors.

Before You Begin

After removing the housing from its shipping container or Gates Pak, carefully inspect for

any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If you discover any, contact Gates

or your dealer immediately for assistance.

Every Gates housing is pressure tested before leaving the factory to assure a watertight

seal. As a precaution, however,

it’s a good idea to first setup and dive the housing

without your Panasonic camera inside

. Rough or abusive handling during shipment

could have caused unnoticed damage after leaving the factory. In addition, you can get a

good feel for the use of an underwater housing without worrying about getting a good

shot. You can simply concentrate on the technique of holding a camera in position while

fine tuning your buoyancy.

Preparing the Panasonic HVX200 Camera

Your Panasonic camera will need some preparation before placement into the housing.

1. Remove any lens hood, cap or filters from the lens.

2. Remove the rubber eyecup from the electronic viewfinder on the camera.

3. Unscrew and remove the knob from the zoom ring.

4. Install manual focus gear onto the focus ring of the camera lens. The gear will be

in two pieces that fit over the focus ring, then held in place by an o-ring. An easy way

to install the gear is to assemble the two halves and o-ring, then slip it over the focus

ring of the camera. Slide the gear as far forward on the camera focus ring as it will

go.

The focus gear halves are held

in place by an o-ring stretched

around the middle.
