Using The Camera's Built-In Flash; Closing The Housing - Ikelite 6171.07 Instruction Manual

Using the Camera's Built-in Flash

If you are shooting with the camera's built-in flash and the camera 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 (included) and
zoom in slightly to eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs
(You can test this above water). See Diffuser/Deflector Installation - page
13. For best results, we recommend using an external Ikelite Substrobe.
The built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or Accessory
lenses. Due to the camera's limited flash power, set ISO to 400.

Closing the Housing

1. Place housing face down in your lap or on a flat surface. Check to see
that there is an o-ring on the housing back, and that it is clean and in its
proper location.
2. Guide the back into the housing front. If the
camera flash is raised, use caution during
this procedure. During the installation,
don't bump the top of the housing with the
raised flash as this could damage the
flash. Also, to aid in the installation
process, do not turn the camera
on until it is secured in the housing.
Once the back is properly installed, the
o-ring should touch the housing all the way
around. There should be an even gap on each side of the housing
between the housing and back.
3. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and place each lid snap into the
corresponding hook on the housing back.
4. To close the housing, push down on the lid snaps until they snap into
place. Lid snaps on opposite sides of the housing should be closed at
the same time. Be sure they are down far enough to engage the lock.
The o-ring seal will now appear as a solid black line.
