The Seashell is a customized water proof
camera case suitable for many different compact
digital camera m
odels. Every camera has
different outside dimensions, zoom lens locations,
power button and shutter button locations.
The
patent design of Seashell allows users to co
n-
figure the camera case with the following i
n-
struction to match the type of camera you are
using. Or, with a new camera, the same
method may be used to re
-
configure the Sea
shell
to fit for a new camera.
There are 6 key steps in configuring a Seashel
l:
Confirming the Seashell fits your camera
Loading the Dove Tail Shims
Installing the Actuator Shafts
Loading the Front Spacers
Installing the Foam Pad to the rear housing
Testing the operation of the camera
Read the manual first.

Configure the camera.
Before taking further steps to configure the
Seashell, first ensure that the c
amera will actually
fit and function inside the Seashell. Check
the major dimensions and the location of lens,
power button and
shutter button to determine
if the Camera is suitable for the Seashell.
To best understand how the camera and Seashel
l
work together, please read this manual up to
and including page 13. You can then
come
back to begin with this step.
Use the fitting sheet provided. Simply profile
the camera against the fitting sheet to see if
camera’s key features fall within
the border
lines on the sheet. This indicates compatibilit
y
with the Seashell. Later the fitting sheet can
be used to determi
ne the size of components
required to secure the camera in the housing.
Note: If the camera’s shutter button is only
within reach the of the Seashell’s power Actuator
Shaf
t, the camera can still be u
sed with the
Seashell as long as the camera remains
switched on while inside the housing. The
power Actuator may be used for the
shutter in
place of the shutter Actuator. The auto
-
off
feature of the camera must be deactivated.
