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.

(NOTE:) After you have used the
housing's zoom control it must be
returned to the center position to
disengage. If the housing zoom
control is pushing the zoom lever
in either direction you may not
be able to take a picture or access
any other function as the camera
is receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom control.

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.

A diffuser and deflector are
included with the housing.
The diffuser is white
transparent plastic. The
deflector is also white but is
not transparent and has a
decal on the front.
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.
D D i i f f f f u u s s e e r r
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)
D D e e f f l l e e c c t t o o r r
The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS51 or DS1 25 Substrobe and EV Controller. The
deflector will redirect the camera's flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output.

Control on the housing can be used to open the camera's built-
in flash.
