Please Read

We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly before use. If you are new to underwater photography be sure to read the General and Photo Tips.

We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly to have a full understanding of where each camera control is located and what function each control provides.

Please Read If Using an EV-Controller

The EV-Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes have two user settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash or non pre-flash. This camera uses pre-flash, thus the EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash position when used with this camera.

Opening the Housing 1. 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

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. Use a coin

or flat bladed screwdriver to tighten the mounting bolt so

the camera is flat against the tray.

CAUTION:

Some camera tripod socket threads are plastic. The mounting tray bolt is metal. Do not cross thread or over tighten as you may damage the camera tripod socket threads.
