1) Overview:
The 0.5x underwater wide angle lens is a precision optical lens that doubles the camera’s native field of
view, allowing you to get closer to the subject and still fit everything into the picture. It is compatible with digital
cameras having a focal length of 24mm or greater and underwater housings with 52mm lens port or SeaLife DC-series
UW housings. The lens maintains the camera’s focusing range and can be attached/removed while underwater.
2) What’s in the box:
Wide Angle Dome Lens
Neoprene lens cover
52mm DC adapter
Micro fiber cleaning cloth
(with 52mm thread mount
and lanyard with clip)
6) Important:
a)
If your camera vignettes (dark corners) when using the lens, slightly increase the zoom until vignette is gone.
b)
After each dive, soak the lens in fresh water for about 20 minutes to remove any residual salt, sand and dirt. Dry lens with clean
cotton towel so water drops do not dry and stain on the lens.
c)
Some camera models may need to be set to macro auto focus. Do not set camera to infinity focus.
d)
When using the 52mm DC Adapter, avoid bumping/knocking the lens or it may dismount from the housing lens ports.
e)
Make sure the neoprene lens cover is free of sand/dirt/debris before attaching it to the lens or it may cause scratches.
f)
Double check if the lens hood appears in your picture. If so, readjust the lens hood orientation as shown above.
g)
The dome lens has a hard coating applied to prevent scratches; however, proper lens cleaning care is required. Brush or blow away
and sand/dirt/debris from the lens surface. Use lens cleaning cloth provided to gently clean finger prints and smudges from the
lens. Moisten lens cloth with lens cleaner or fresh water if necessary – never use detergents or chemicals to clean the lens.
h)
Apply a small amount of silicone O-ring lube to the 52mm threads of the lens to prevent corrosion on the thread surface.
i)
After entering the water, remove the lens from the camera to get rid of any trapped air. There must be water between the lens
and the camera port.
