Wide-Angle lenses allow you to capture more of the scene and
get closer to your subject which results in sharper images and
more vivid color. Can be installed or removed underwater for
maximum versatility. (Note: some housings may require an
adapter, see instructions.)

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. D
Doo N
Noott leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
2. D
Doo N
Noott ship the camera in the housing.
3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the sseett
ssccrreew
w in each control knob.
Check each ccoonnttrrooll ggllaanndd penetrating the housing to make sure
they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate
loose during travel.
4. Keep the back 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. Draw the o-ring through your fingers
to apply a light coating of lubricant. Only apply enough lubricant
to make the o-ring feel slick. D
Doo N
Noott ssttrreettcchh tthhee oo--rriinngg. 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.
5. Keep the area where the o-ring fits and the sealing surface of the
housing clean.
6. Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate
water spotting.
After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap
solution, rinse and dry before storage. 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.

The Lens Port is factory sealed, do not remove.
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 is threaded so that accessory lenses can be
screwed onto the port. The threads are very fine, take care not
to cross thread accessory lenses.
The housing port has a 67mm thread which accepts the optional
#6420 Ikelite W-20 Wide-Angle Lens and other manufacturers
(67mm) screw thread style lenses. These lenses can be screwed
onto the lens port above or below water. These lenses are
designed to have water between the front of the port and the
accessory lens. Make sure no air bubbles are trapped between
the port and the accessory lens. There may be slight vignetting
when these wide angle lenses are installed. Any vignetting that
occurs can be eliminated
by zooming the camera
lens slightly. To properly
light subjects when using
a wide angle lens an
external strobe should
be used. Due to the wide
coverage of the wide
angle lenses, the DS125
Substrobe is recommended
or two DS51 Substrobes.
