Closing the Housing
1. Check to see that there is an o-ring on the
housing back that is clean and in its proper
location.
2. Guide the back onto the housing. The
o-ring should touch the housing all the way
around. There should be an even
gap all the way around between
the housing and the housing back.
3. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and
place the lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing back.
4. To close the housing, push down on the lid snaps until they snap into
place. Lid snaps on opposite sides of the housing should be closed at
the same time. Be sure they are down far enough to engage the lid-snap
lock.

Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash
If you are shooting with the camera’s built-in flash and the camera lens
is set to the widest angle, you may need to zoom the lens slightly or a
dark area may appear in a lower corner of close-up photographs. The
lens port may block some of the light. Remove the factory installed
removable Deflector and install the Diffuser (included). Zoom in slightly to
eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs
(You can test this
above water)
. See Diffuser Installation, page 10
.
For the best results, we
recommend using an external Ikelite Substrobe with the housing
Deflector installed. The camera’s built-in flash CANNOT be used with
optional Wide-Angle or Accessory lenses.
Removing the Camera from the Housing.
1. Place housing face down on a table, page 7, Diagram B; remove
Housing Back.
2. Rotate housing 90°, page 7, Diagram A.
3. Tilt housing port up slightly with one hand while removing the camera
with your other hand.
