Q: 8. How do I mount the camera in the E-702 elements cover?

A: Undo the long line of velcro. Place your camera into the clear plastic area lens first. Guide your lens through the tube. Their is another velcro which you will fasten around your lens. Fasten the long line of velcro to seal your camera inside. Your hands go in on each side to access the camera. It can be awkward with your camera strap as it will project out through the line of velcro. I imagine if you are set on a tripod you can remove the strap to make everything well sealed. I hope this helps.
