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. Install the Diffuser (included) and

zoom in slightly to eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs

(You can test this above water)

. See Diffuser/Deflector Installation, page

10

.

For the best results, we recommend using an external Ikelite

Substrobe. 

The camera’s built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or

Accessory lenses.
