Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera
Housing. Ikelite has over 45 years of experience in the underwater
photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and

and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls

Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for
stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the
factory to 200’ (60m).

1. Lid Snaps have a LLoocckk. To open, push each Lid Snap Lock
forward and lift as shown. Keep pressure on the Lid Snap so
that it does not fly open
quickly.
Some lid snaps have a lot of
spring tension once they go
over center, so keep a firm
grip on the lid snap. Lid
snaps may be opened one at
a time or simultaneously.

We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly
before use. If you are new to underwater photography, be sure
to read the General and Photo Tips sections.
We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly
to have a full understanding of where each camera control is
located and what function each control provides.
