Ikelite has over 40 years of experience in the underwater photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and built in the USA by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur photographer.
Checking Controls 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 pictures above water with the camera in the housing. Lubricants 1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly. 2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and o’rings.
Lens Port Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner. Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port. The Lens Port will accept (2) Wide-Angle Adapters. The WideAngle Adapter #9306.80 which is required to mount the Inon UWL-150AD Bayonet style wide-angle lens. The Wide-Angle Adapter 9306.
Maintenance The 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. 1. Do Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera. 2. Do Not ship the camera in the housing. 3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the set screw in each control knob.
General Tips 1. Due to the power required to operate the camera, flash, and LCD screen it is a good idea to start each dive with a fresh set of batteries. 2. Some cameras reset their flash to AUTO when the camera is turned on. If you prefer another setting be sure to select it. 3. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the housing to see that it is properly sealed. 4. 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.
