If you do not have an external flash, the camera’s built-in flash

can be used. See Diffuser instructions ((PPaaggee #

#88)).

NOTE: The camera’s built-in flash cannot be used with optional

Wide-Angle lenses.

1. Place housing face down in your

lap or on 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 into the housing

front. 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 the housing.

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.

Once the housing has been closed, make sure the housing

controls line up with the corresponding camera controls. If the

housing controls are misaligned slightly make sure the camera

hold down bolt has been tightened down firmly so the camera

is flat against the tray.

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.

LLuubbrriiccaannttss

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.

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.

Diiffffuusseerr

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 area of the photo.

If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow.

(You can test this above water)

Deefflleeccttoorr

The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe

such as the DS51 or DS160 Substrobe and EV Controller. The

deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller

which controls the external strobes output.
