Once the housing has been closed, make sure the housing
controls line up with the camera's controls. If the housing
controls are misaligned slightly make sure the camera hold
down bolt has been tightened down firmly so the camera
is flat against the tray.

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
and has a decal on the front.
To install the diffuser or
deflector spread the port
clamp at the spring end and
slide over the lens port. The
white plastic should be placed
in front of the camera flash.
The port clamp should be
pushed back against the front
of the housing.

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 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 DS51 or DS125 Substrobe and EV Controller. The
deflector will redirect the camera's flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output.

The EV Controller provides 10 manual power settings in 1/2 stop
increments for the DS51 or DS125 Substrobes. The EV Controller has
a built-in slave which can be triggered by the camera's built-in flash.

1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other
brands may cause the o'ring to swell and not seal properly.
2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o'rings. 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.
