Wide-Angle lenses allow you to capture more of the scene and
get closer to your subject which results in clearer images and
more vivid color. Can be installed or removed underwater for
maximum versatility. (Note: some housings may require an
adapter, see instructions.)

The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and
attention as your other photographic equipment. In addition to
normal maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned
to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
1.
DDoo NNoott
leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
2.
DDoo NNoott
ship the camera in the housing.
3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the
sseett
ssccrreeww
in each control knob.
Check each
ccoonnttrrooll ggllaanndd
to make sure they are tight. There is
a slight chance that either could vibrate loose during travel.
4. 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.
DDoo NNoott ssttrreettcchh tthhee oo''rriinngg
.
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.
5. Keep the area where the o'ring fits and the sealing surface of
the housing clean.
6. Rinse the housing exterior in fresh water after each salt water
use. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate 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.

A diffuser and deflector are
included with the housing.
The diffuser is white
transparent plastic. The
deflector is also white but
is not transparent.
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.
DDiiffffuusseerr
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.
