Manual for Camera Housing – Model DSC-F707 / 717 (Sony)
10 BAR Underwater Housings are small, light and rugged enough to be used onevery dive. Use of a clear polycarbonate allows for visual inspection of cameracondition and the O-ring seal. 10 BAR Housings are designed for the ever- increasing variety of models of digital still and video cameras. Advanced computeraided design and CNC manufacturing technologies ensure precise dimensions. Each housing body is first injection molded, and then machined to configure to individual camera model. A range of lens ports and controls are fitted, to tailor the housing toyour camera model.3. Set up Instructions 3.1 Pressure release plug: The body and lid are designed with a “no clip” closure arrangement. Testing has shown that this arrangement allow the water to exert an even pressure on the O-ring, increasing the reliability of the watertight seal. To open thehousing, the pressure release plug must be first unscrewed and then pulled out all the way. This provides a passage for the air to pass though and eliminate the pressure different between the inside of the housing and the ambient.
The plug consists of an internal double O-ring seal on the stainless steel slide shaft. These
internal O-rings form the watertight seal. There is also a large outer O-ring under the
knob. This O-ring serves to prevent contamination of the slide shaft, with dirt, salt etc.,
and is not required for watertight integrity. If this O-ring should become detached, it can
simply be pushed back in place.
