The housing’s Jog Dial
Control has a small bump
on the inside face of the
control for depressing the
Jog Dial on the camera.
The small bump is in the
same location as the
white dot on the control
knob. To use, rotate the
control knob until the
white dot is in the 6
o’clock position. In this
position the small bump will depress the Jog Dial.
To select an item turn the jog dial to the item you want to set.
Then pull out on the control slightly and position the white dot
over the jog dial and depress. This will set the item you selected.

1. Place housing face down in your
lap.
2. Check to see that there is an
o’ring on the housing back and
that it is clean and in its proper
location.
3. Guide the back onto the housing.
The o’ring should touch the
housing all the way around. There
should be an even gap all the way
around between the housing and
the housing back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid snap
into the hook on the housing
back.
5. To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place . Lid
snaps on opposite sides of the
housing should be closed at the
same time. Be sure they are down
far enough to engage the lock.
DDoouubbllee cchheecckk - 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.
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.

1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We
recommend that 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. 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.
