Thank you for  your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera Housing.

Ikelite products have been designed and built in the USA for over

30 years by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur

photographer.

The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera

and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls

and camera LCD screens.

Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for

stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the

factory. Housing is pressure tested to 200’ (60m).

1. Lid Snaps have a LLoocckk.

To open, push Lid Snap Lock

forward and lift as shown.

Keep pressure on the Lid

Snap so it does not fly open

quickly.

Some lid snaps have a lot of

spring tension once they go over center, have a firm grip on the

lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

the tray and secure it

with the mounting bolt

which threads into the

camera’s tripod socket.

2. Pull out on each

housing control until it

stops. This will get the
