control is pushing the zoom lever
in either direction you cannot
take a picture or access any other

get a feel for using the camera in the housing Take a few
pictures above water with the camera in the housing

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
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

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
