  • Page 16: Spare Parts

    O-ring Storage When storing the housing, remove the main housing o-ring. Lightly lubricate the o-ring until it appears shiny and place in a small resealable plastic bag. Use only Ikelite lubricant. Place the bag inside the housing and store until needed.

  • Page 17: Lubricant

    Lubricant Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause the main housing o-ring to swell and not seal properly. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-ring or lubricate a sticky control.

  • Page 23: Photo Tips

    PHOTO TIPS The number one rule in underwater photography is to eliminate as much water between the camera and subject as possible. Get as close as you can to the subject, then use the zoom. If you are using flash for still photos, subjects beyond 6 ft (1.8m) will not have much color regardless of strobe power.
