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 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 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
