Treat the glass 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.

1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may
cause the o-ring to swell and not seal properly.
2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-
ring. 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.

For the best photo results in all shooting conditions, Ikelite highly
recommends that you use an
external digital strobe. Ikelite
strobes are much more powerful,
recycle more quickly, and eliminate
backscatter created by the camera's
built-in flash. Strobe packages come
complete with the strobe, arm, and
slave unit (to sense the camera
flash).
The addition of an external strobe to
your housing will help
eliminate particles in the water that
are “lit-up” by the camera flash,
commonly called backscatter. A
second strobe will eliminate
shadows and add more depth to
your subjects.
The #4035
AF35 AutoFlash Kit strobe package is designed specifi-
cally for the Ikelite Compact and ULTRAcompact Digital housings.

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, simply push the
Scalloped Section into the
port groove until it stops. The
white plastic should be placed
in front of the camera flash as
shown below.
Note the Small Hole. To avoid losing the diffuser/deflector, you
can attach a fishing line or string to this hole.

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built
in flash. When shooting with the camera’s built-in flash at
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the
housing will block a portion of the light from the camera’s
built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower right area of the
photo. Zoom the lens to eliminate the shadow
(You can test
this above water).

Deefflleeccttoorr
The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the AF35, DS51, DS160, DS161 or DS200 Substrobe with
an EV Controller. The deflector will redirect the camera’s flash
to the slave unit or EV Controller which controls the external
strobe’s output.
