Solution
- Remove the camera and rinse the closed housing
in freshwater. 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 H, 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,
Diagram I, Page 22.
- Camera eyecup must be removed.
- Return housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.
- Add one or two DS-series strobes to the system.
- Check that the strobe is firing when taking a
picture. Camera flash should be forced on and set
to "Fill In."
- When using an external strobe, make sure it is
turned on, set properly, and its battery is charged.
- Check all corded connection points.
- Change camera shutter speed or aperture.
- Move closer to or further away from the subject.
