Inserting the Filter Wheel Module in the Camera

1) Clean the filter wheel with dry air to remove any dust and contaminants.

Engage the module with the slots in the camera.

2) Slide the filter wheel module back into the camera. Push the module all the way in.

3) Install the two 4/40" X 3/8" Allen-head screws with a 3/22 socket head tool.
