Solution
- Remove the camera and rinse the closed housing
in fresh water. Vigorously press each push button
in and out several times to release any trapped
saltwater or debris.
- Press a sticky push button all the way in and
place a small amount of lube on the small end of
the push button shaft at it's base. Release and
operate the push button several times to distribute
the lube, Diagram B, page 21.
- If a larger gland style control is sticky, grab the
control knob, pull it out, and then push back in. If
still sticky, see the Control Maintenance section,
pages 22-24.
- Return housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.
- Check that the built-in flash or external strobe is
firing when taking a picture. Camera flash should
be forced "on."
- When using an external strobe, make sure it is
turned on, set properly, and its battery is charged.
- Make sure the diffuser is installed when you are
NOT using an external strobe.
- Check any corded connection points.
- Change camera shutter speed or aperture.
- Move closer to or further away from the subject.
- Adjust Exposure Compensation .
