Usage
Turn Camera On
Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to get a
feel for using the camera in the housing.
You are now ready to shoot underwater photos!
Zoom Control
After you have used the housing's
zoom control, it must be returned to the
center position to disengage. If the
housing zoom control is pushing the
zoom lever in either direction, you may
not be able to take a picture or access
other functions. This is because the
camera is receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom control.
Using the Camera's Built-in Flash
If you are shooting with the camera's built-in flash and the cameras lens
is set to the widest angle, you may need to zoom the lens slightly or a
dark area may appear in a lower corner of close-up photographs. The
lens port may block some of the light. Install the Diffuser and zoom in
slightly to eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs (You can
test this above water). See Diffuser/Deflector Installation - page 11.
For the best results, we recommend using an external Ikelite Substrobe.
The camera's built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or
Accessory lenses.
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. See Recommended and Related Accessories pages 19-25.
