Water enters the

housing 

-   Remove, clean and properly lubricate the main    

    o-ring.

-   Look for hair, dirt, or foreign debris crossing the 

    o-ring seal.

-   Reassemble the housing without a camera 

    installed and immerse in water.

-   Return housing to Ikelite for evaluation.

Problem

Solution

Pictures are too blue

or too green

-   Use custom (manual) white balance. Reset for 

    each working depth or when attaching a 

    color correcting filter to the camera lens.

-   Add an external strobe.

-   Move in closer to your subject when taking a 

    picture.

-   Add an optional color correcting filter to the 

    Housing Port.

Zoom Control 

After you have used the housing's

zoom control, it must be returned to the

center position to disengage. If the

housing zoom control is pushing the

zoom lever in either direction, you may

not be able to take a picture or access

other functions. This is because the

camera is receiving a signal from the

engaged zoom control.
