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 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 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.

Usage

Final Check

The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera and

sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls and camera

LCD screens. This housing has been factory water pressure tested to

200’ (60m).

Once the housing is closed, check the o-ring seal. Check the gap

between the housing back and the housing. It should be even all the

way around the housing.

Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see a

darkened area where the o-ring is compressed against the housing

back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all the way

around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and close

the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

Zoom Control

(lever type only)

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

“Disengaged”

engaged zoom control.

Diffuser and Deflector Installation

A diffuser and deflector are

included with the housing. The

diffuser is white transparent plastic.

The deflector is also white but is

not transparent.

To install the diffuser or deflector,

push the “Cut-out” Section into the

port groove until it stops.

Diffuser Use

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera flash. When

shooting close-up photographs with the camera flash and at the camera

lens’s widest angle setting, the lens port on the housing can block a

portion of the light from the camera flash. This can result in a shadow in

a lower corner of the frame. Zoom the lens to eliminate the shadow (You

can test this above water).

Deflector Use

The deflector should be installed when using any Ikelite external strobe.

The deflector will block and redirect the camera’s flash to an optional

AF35 slave unit or EV Manual Controller, which will then control the

external strobe’s output. The deflector also stops the built-in flash from

creating backscatter in the image. Remove the diffuser before

attempting to install the deflector.

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. Take a few test shots on land.

You are now ready to shoot underwater photos and video!

Entering the Water

As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the housing

to see that it is properly sealed.

Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face of the lens port.

If there are, take your finger and remove them. If there are bubbles on

the lens port they can produce soft focus spots in your photos or video.

Maintenance

Lens Port

Treat the glass or acrylic in the lens port as a camera lens. After use,

rinse and gently dry the outside lens port to avoid water spotting. To

clean, use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner. Do not rinse the inside

port glass. Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.

Lubricant

-Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use

onlyIkelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause the main

housing o-ring to swell and not seal properly.

Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-ring or

lubricate a sticky control. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean

cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant; it is used to reduce friction. Excessive

lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper

sealing.

CAUTION:

Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause

the plastic housing to crack or o-rings to swell.

Housing Maintenance

Your Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and attention

as your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal

maintenance, we recommend that the housing be returned to Ikelite

periodically to be checked and pressure tested.

Do Notleave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged

periods. Heat may damage the camera.

Do Notship the camera in the housing.

Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the set screw

in each control knob. Check each control glandpenetrating the housing

to make sure they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could

vibrate loose during travel.

Keep the main housing o-ring clean and lightly lubricated. To lubricate,

remove the o-ring from the back. Put a small amount of lkelite lubricant

on your fingers. Pull the o-ring through your fingers to apply a thin

coating of lubricant. Only apply enough lubricant to make the o-ring feel

slick. Do Not stretch the o-ring. This light coating of lubricant will help

to keep the o-ring from drying out and will help to show a dark sealing

line when the housing back is properly sealed.

Keep the area where the o-ring fits and the sealing surface of the

housing clean.

Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in freshwater after each saltwater

use. Depress push buttons repeatedly in freshwater to eliminate trapped

saltwater. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate water spotting.

After several uses in saltwater, soak the housing exterior in a mild soap

solution, rinse and dry before storing. When storing the housing, remove

the back o-ring, lightly lubricate, and place in a plastic bag. Place the

plastic bag with o-ring inside the housing for safe keeping.

If removing a housing push button, Do Notre-use the E-clip. Contact

Ikelite for replacement E-clips (part 0319.12).

Leave lid snaps in the open position when not using the housing for

extended periods.t

Control Maintenance

Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service with

minimal maintenance.

Push button controls normally require no maintenance other than rinsing

in freshwater after saltwater use. Depress each push button in

freshwater several times to eliminate trapped saltwater. If a push button

control becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed, soak the

housing in luke warm freshwater. After a few minutes, operate the push

button. If this does not correct the problem, return the housing to Ikelite

for maintenance. If you are on a trip and unable to return the housing

immediately, a push button may be lubricated by pressing and holding

the push button all the way in. Then, use your finger or other small

object to place a small amount of lube at the base of the shaft inside the

housing. Press and release the push button several times until the lube

is worked up into the o-ring.

Some of the controls have long shafts. These controls can be pulled out,

exposing the shaft see diagrams B and C, page 19.

To lubricate the control, gently pull on the knob until the stainless steel

shaft is exposed. Lightly lubricate the shaft, then move the shaft in and

out several times. This will lubricate the x-ring in the Ikelite control gland.

This should be done before using the housing after a prolonged storage

period, or once a week when the housing is in constant use.

Some of the controls have a short shaft and cannot be pulled out

exposing the shaft for lubrication. In the unlikely event one of these

controls sticks or becomes difficult to operate, you can remove the

control from the housing and lubricate it, or return the housing to Ikelite

for maintenance. To remove the control, diagram B, page 19, loosen the

set screw in the knob (allen wrench required); remove the knob. If there

is salt or dirt build-up on the exposed control shaft, clean the shaft.

Open the housing and gently slide the control shaft out of the control

gland. Clean and lightly lubricate the shaft, including the end of the

shaft.

Control Maintenance -

continued

Slide the shaft back into the control gland and gently slide it back and

forth a few times without fully removing the shaft from the gland.

Replace the knob noting the flat area on the shaft. The set screw in the

knob should tighten down against the flat area on the control so the

knob does not turn on the shaft.

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.

Photograph in clear water; do not stir up the sand or silty bottom. If

backscatter becomes a problem in the environment you are

photographing, an external flash will help eliminate much of the

backscatter.

Many digital cameras have a slight lag time between when you press

the shutter release button and the camera actually takes the picture.

Hold the housing steady a second or two after pressing the shutter

release button.

Do not shoot down on subjects as they will quite often blend into the

background and be difficult to see in the photograph. Shoot subjects

straight on or shoot up at a slight angle using the blue water as a

contrasting background.

When using daylight or flash, if your camera consistently over or

underexposes the image, you may want to adjust your camera’s

exposure compensation settings.

If you error in exposure, it is better to have the image slightly

underexposed rather than overexposed. An overexposed image is

missing color information which cannot be adjusted in a photo

processing program. A slightly underexposed image has color

information that can be adjusted.

It is important to respect all living creatures underwater, including

people, marine life, and coral. While we encourage people to get close

to their subjects when taking a photograph, they should not touch, lie on,

or in any way disturb the things they find underwater.

Recommended Accessories

Tray and Handle(s)

Add stability and gripping point(s) for comfortable use of the housing

above and below water. Most tray and handle combinations offset the

slightly positive buoyancy of the housings. Handles offer attachment

points for external lighting systems.

External Strobes

A separate external strobe adds colorto restore the warmer colors

filtered out by the water as well as to illuminate the subject. Add a

second strobe to eliminate shadows and evenly light your subjects.

Video Lighting

External video lights add color when using the video/movie mode of your

camera. Primary video lights are specially color balanced to provide

natural tones.

Travel Cases

Protect your investment and travel with ease. An optional Carrying

Case or Travel Bag will accommodate the housing with a single AF35 or

DS51 strobe, including a single tray with handle and accessories.

External Color Correcting UR/Pro Filters

(Blue Water or Green Water)

Color filters such as the UR-Pro Filter replace

some of the reds, oranges and more natural tones

that would otherwise be lost underwater. Effective

in relatively shallow, sunny conditions, and

available for tropical blue water and green water

settings. For optimum results use in combination

with “custom (manual) white balance.” Check your

camera user guide for information on this option (if

available).

For available light use only. Not recommended when using external strobes.

UR-Pro Filter

External Accessory Lenses

An external wide angle conversion lens increases

angle of coverage so you can get much closer to

your subject while still fitting everything in the frame.

By reducing the amount of water between the subject

and your camera lens, the resulting image will be

more crisp and colorful. Attach 67mm threaded

#6420 Ikelite W-20, Inon Type II and Epoque wide

angle or macro lenses directly to the front of the

housing port. Bayonet mount lenses are not

compatible with this housing.

Vignetting will be present with a wide angle lens

A full range of accessories is available to support your housing. Please

visit to see the most current information about

recommended accessories for your housing.

EV Manual Controller Use

Since the housing Conversion Circuitry provides real TTL flash exposure

when used with Ikelite DS series Substrobes, an EV Controller is not

recommended but can be used for manual flash control.

The EV Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user

settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash “P”

or non pre-flash “ P .” Most cameras use a pre-flash. This means the

EV Controller should be set to the pre-flash “P” position when used with

this camera as a slave. If a manual mode is used that does not emit a

pre-flash, set the EV Controller to the non pre-flash “ P ” position.
