The Lens Port is factory sealed do not remove
Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens After use rinse
and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting To clean
use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port
The Lens Port is threaded so that accessory lenses may be
screwed onto the port The threads are very fine take care not
to cross thread the lens
Wide angle lenses are available from Inon and Sea & Sea These
lenses can be screwed onto the lens port above or below water
These lenses are designed to have water between the front of
the port and the accessory lens Make sure no air bubbles are
trapped between the port and the accessory lens There may be
slight vignetting when these wide angle lenses are installed
Any vignetting that occurs
can be eliminated by
zooming the camera lens
slightly The camera’s builtin
flash cannot be used with
wide angle lenses The front
of the lenses are so large
they block the camera’s
flash To properly light
subjects when using a wide
angle lens an external strobe
should be used Due to the
wide angle coverage of the
Inon and Sea & Sea lenses
the DS Substrobe is
recommended or two DS
Substrobes
