Page 25: Housing Maintenance
Housing Maintenance Your Ikelite Housing should be given the same care and attention as your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal maintenance, we recommend your housing be returned to Ikelite (every 2-3 years or 50 dives), to be checked and pressure tested. Do Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. -
Page 26: 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 feet (1.8m) will not have much color regardless of strobe power. -
Page 27: Storing The Housing
NOTE: To shoot photographs closer than 2 feet (0.6m), we recommend using an external strobe such as the DS51 or DS161. An external strobe can be positioned so nothing blocks the light path between the strobe and the subject. Storing the Housing When the housing is going to be stored for a prolonged period it should be soaked in a mild soap solution, rinsed, and dried thoroughly. -
