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.

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.

1. Place housing face down in your lap
or on a flat surface.
2. Check to see that there is an o-ring
on the housing back and that it is
clean and in its proper location.
3. Guide the back onto the housing.
The o-ring should touch the housing
all the way around. There should be
an even gap all the way around
between the housing and the
housing back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid snap into
the hook on the housing back.
5. To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place . Lid
snaps on opposite sides of the
housing should be closed at the
same time. Be sure they are down
far enough to engage the lock.

- Once the housing is closed, check the o-ring seal.
Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it
should be even all the way around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see
a darkened area where the o-ring is compressed against the
housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal
all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the
housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

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 Wide-Angle Adapter #9306.81 is required to mount the
#6420 Ikelite W-20 Wide-Angle Lens and other manufacturers
(67mm) screw thread style wide-angle lenses. Bayonet mount
Wide Angle Accessory Lenses cannot be used due to extreme
vignetting.
The 67mm style lenses can be secured onto the Wide-Angle
Adapter above or below water as they 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. 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 DS125 Substrobe is
recommended or two
DS51 Substrobes.
