Lid Snaps have a Lock.
1. Push Lid Snap Locks forward and lift as shown. Open opposing Lid Snaps
simultaneously. Keep pressure on the Lid Snaps so they do not y open
quickly. Some Lid Snaps have a lot of spring tension once they go over

opened one at a time.

When NOT connecting an external strobe to the housing bulkhead, RAISE
the CAMERA FLASH and DO NOT connect the housing hotshoe.
You CANNOT raise the camera ash after the camera is closed in the
housing.
When using the internal camera ash, DO NOT place housing hotshoe into
