1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may
cause the o-ring to swell and not seal properly.
2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-
ring. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth. Lubricant
is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive lubricant
can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper
sealing.

Once the housing has been closed, look at the main housing o-ring
seal from the “top view” as seen on page 4. Rotate the housing 360
d
egrees and note the o-ring seal by looking through the clear
housing. A good seal should appear as a solid black line.
M
ake sure the housing controls line up with the camera controls.

Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to
get a feel for using the camera in the housing. Take a few pictures
above water with the camera in the housing.

A diffuser and deflector are
included with the housing. The
diffuser is white transparent
plastic. The deflector is also
white but is not transparent.
To install the diffuser or
deflector, simply push the
scalloped section into the port
groove until it stops. The white
plastic should be placed in
front of the camera flash. Note
the small hole. To avoid losing
the diffuser/deflector, you can
attach a fishing line or string to this hole.
DDiiffffuusseerr
The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built
in flash. When shooting with the camera’s built-in flash at
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the
housing may block a portion of the light from the camera’s
built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower left area of the
photo. If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the
shadow.
(You can test this above water)
DDeefflleeccttoorr
The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the AF35; or the DS51, DS125, or DS160 Substrobe with
an EV Controller. The deflector will redirect the camera’s flash
to the EV Controller which controls the external strobe’s
output.

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse
and gently dry the outside lens port to avoid water spotting. To
clean, use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner. Do not rinse the
inside port glass.
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the
Lens Port.
