The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built in
flash When shooting with the camera’s builtin flash at
approximately feet ( m) or less zoom the lens to
maximum telephoto The lens port on the housing blocks a
portion of the light from the camera’s builtin flash when
shooting close up If you do not zoom to maximum telephoto a
shadow may appear in the lower left corner of closeup
photographs
(You can test this above water)

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 Sea & Sea and Epoque
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 builtin
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 of coverage of
these lenses the DS
Substrobe is recommended
or two DS Substrobes

Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing We
recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite
products as some other brands may cause the o’ring to swell
and not seal properly
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o’rings Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth
L
ubricant is not a sealant it is used to reduce friction Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing

they are tight There is a slight chance that either could vibrate
loose during travel
Keep the back o’ring clean and lightly lubricated To lubricate
remove the o’ring from the back Put a small amount of lkelite
lubricant on your fingers Draw the o’ring through your fingers
to apply a light coating of lubricant Only apply enough
lubricant to make the o’ring feel slick

This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o’ring from
drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line when the
housing back is properly sealed
Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of
the housing clean
Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use Dry with a soft cloth Dry lens port to eliminate
water spotting
After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap
solution rinse and dry before storage When storing the
housing remove the back o’ring lightly lubricate and place in a
plastic bag Place the plastic bag with o’ring inside the housing
for safe keeping
