Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera Housing. Ikelite has over 30 years of experience in the underwater photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and built in the USA 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).
Opening the Housing Lid Snaps have a Lock. 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.
Installing the Camera
Install a fully charged battery into the camera before securing the camera to the housing’s mounting tray.
Remove the back from the housing. The mounting tray for the
camera is secured to the housing back. Position
the camera on the tray and secure it with the mounting bolt which threads into the camera's
tripod socket.
CAUTION:
Some camera tripod
socket threads are plastic. The mounting bolt is metal. Do not cross thread or over tighten as you may damage the camera tripod socket threads.
