Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera
Housing. Ikelite has over 45 years of experience in the underwater
photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and
built in the USA by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur
photographer.
The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera
and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls
and camera LCD screens.
Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for
stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the
factory to 200' (60m).

We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly
before use. If you are new to underwater photography be sure
to read the General and Photo Tips.
We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly
to have a full understanding of where each camera control is
located and what function each control provides.

1. Depress opposing latch buttons simultaneously to open the
housing. Once the latch is unlocked, rotate the latch handle
away from the housing until it stops. This motion will also
break the housing o-ring seal and open the housing back
slightly. NOTE: Latch must be rotated to the fully open position
to assure easy opening of the back. Rotate the hinged back to
it’s open position.
