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.

Doouubbllee cchheecckk - 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 Lens Port will accept (2) Wide-Angle Adapters. The Wide-

Angle Adapter #9306.80 which is required to mount the Inon

UWL-150AD Bayonet style wide-angle lens. The Wide-Angle

Adapter 9306.81 is required to mount the following Wide-Angle

Lenses, Inon UWL-100, Sea&Sea #58070 and Ep0que DCL-20

screw thread (67mm) style wide-angle lenses.

These 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

DS50 Substrobes.
