Control Maintenance Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service with minimal maintenance. 1. Push button controls require no maintenance other than rinsing in fresh water after saltwater use. If a push button control becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed, soak the housing in luke warm fresh water. After a few minutes operate the push button. If this does not correct the problem, return the housing to Ikelite for maintenance. 2.
Photo Tips Cont. 6. Many photographers transfer their images to the computer where they can fine tune the appearance of the image. Image manipulation programs make you think you can magically correct any image taken and make a good picture. One thing to remember, if the image is overexposed much of the color is missing. If the color is missing there is nothing to adjust. If images are underexposed the color is there, it is just dark and you can adjust it to some degree.
