Zoom Function; Final Check; Entering The Water - Ikelite 6148.72 User Manual

8. Take a test photo to ensure that your strobe(s) are functioning
properly.

Zoom function

This housing is designed to take advantage of the widest angle setting
of your camera lens while in the housing, therefore the telephoto zoom
range is limited to approximately 1/2 of its maximum.
If you zoom too far and contact the lens port glass, the camera
will automatically shut down. Press the ON/OFF button to restart.

Final Check

1. Re-check the o-ring seal. The seal should form an even, solid line
around the back of the housing.
2. Turn on the camera and check all control functions.
3. Make sure that the camera can obtain focus and take a photo.
4. Check battery life and open storage space on your memory card.
5. Check the flash, if using.
6. Submerge the housing in a fresh water tank dedicated to
underwater photography equipment. Visually confirm that there are
no signs of water intrusion or a steady stream of bubbles coming
from one of the housing seals.

Entering the Water

1. If possible, we recommend entering the water without your housing
to ensure that you are comfortable and your life-saving equipment
is in working order. Once you are stable, have someone pass your
camera housing to you.
