Attaching A Lens Port; Installing The Lens And Port - Ikelite 71722 Instruction Manual

5. Push the lid snaps towards the housing until they are flat against
the housing and the lock has engaged. Close opposing lid snaps at
the same time.
6. Check the o-ring seal. The o-ring should form a uniform, solid line
visible through the back of the housing.
7. Check control functions.
8. Attach a lens to the camera body. If using a zoom gear with clamp,
refer to the zoom gear instructions for information on interfacing
the clamp with the zoom gear.

Attaching a Lens Port

Refer to the appropriate lens port chart to find compatible lens ports
for a wide variety of popular wide angle, zoom, and macro lenses.
Choose a dome port for wide angle and zoom lenses. Larger diameter
domes are better for split shots (half-in, half-out of the water) and
provide sharper images.
Choose a flat port for macro lenses. Flat ports magnify the subject
underwater. Flat ports are not recommended for wide angle or zoom
lenses due to their limited field of view and risk of vignetting (dark
shadows around the edges of the image).
This housing requires a compatible DL lens port for waterproof
»
operation (sold separately). The housing is not waterproof
without a DL lens port attached.

Installing the Lens and Port

1. Attach the lens to the camera. If using a zoom/focus gear set that
requires a clamp, make sure the clamp slots are aligned with the
gear tabs. Test the function before attaching the port.
2. Check that the port sealing surface is clean and free of debris.
