Q – The black rubber tube ring (flashguard) in the lens port area comes out. Is this normal?
A – Yes, this part is designed to be removed for easy cleaning of the housing lens. This is the flashguard
that prevents the inner camera’s flash from reaching the lens and causing glare. This should be placed
back into the lens port area so it’s completely seated. If this part falls out frequently, SeaLife can ship out
a newer flashguard that the consumer can replace himself or herself. Ship at n/c Item# SL15014

Q – Is it recommended to use the SeaLife 3X, 8X or 16X lens with the DC500 camera?
A – No. The SeaLife close-up lenses may fit the DC500, but does not offer any real benefit. The
close-up lenses are design for our fixed focus film and digital cameras. The DC500 uses and
auto focus system to focus from 2.5” to infinity, so the lenses are not required to get the picture in
focus. Some DC500 customers that use the close-up lens say it helps the camera to focus
quicker. On the downside, we have seen the lens cause a glare “ring” that shows up in the
picture. SeaLife does not recommend using any of the close-up lenses with the DC500.
