The Lens Port is factory sealed do not remove
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 is threaded so that accessory lenses can be
screwed onto the port The threads are very fine take care not
to cross thread the lens
Wide angle lenses are available from Inon Sea & Sea and
Epoque These lenses can be screwed onto the lens port above
or below water These lenses 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 There may be slight vignetting when these wide angle
lenses are installed Any vignetting that occurs can be
eliminated by zooming the camera lens slightly To properly
light subjects when using
a wide angle lens an
external strobe should be
used Due to the wide
angle of coverage of
the Inon Sea & Sea
and Epoque lenses
