The camera’s built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or Accessory lenses. - Page 10 Deflector Use The deflector should be installed when using an Ikelite external strobe. The deflector will block and redirect the camera’s flash to the AF35 slave unit or EV-controller which controls the external strobe’s output.

Page 11: Maintenance
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 12 Housing Maintenance The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and attention as your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal maintenance, we recommend that the housing be returned to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
- Page 13 In the unlikely event one of these controls sticks or becomes difficult to operate, you can remove the control from the housing and lubricate it, or return the housing to Ikelite for maintenance. To remove the control, diagram B - page 14, loosen the set screw in the knob (allen wrench required);...
- Page 14 Control Maintenance (continued) Slide the shaft back into the control gland and gently slide it back and forth a few times without fully removing the shaft from the gland. Replace the knob noting the flat area on the shaft. The set screw in the knob should tighten down against the flat area on the control so the knob does not turn on the shaft.

Photo Tips 1. The number one rule in underwater photography is to eliminate as much water between the camera and subject as possible.
- Page 16 Photo Tips (continued) 5. Underwater flash is used to restore the warmer colors filtered out by the water as well as to illuminate the subject. When photographing underwater, set the camera to use flash on every shot. If the camera’s flash is set to AUTO and the sun is behind your subject, the camera may see enough light and not fire the flash.
