Diffuser installed.

Lens Port

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.

Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.

The Lens Port will accept (2) Wide-Angle Adapters. The Wide-

Angle Adapter #9306.80 which is required to mount the Inon

UWL-150AD Bayonet style wide-angle lens. The Wide-Angle

Adapter 9306.81 is required to mount the following Wide-Angle

Lenses, Inon UWL-100, Sea&Sea #58070 and Ep0que DCL-20

screw thread (67mm) style wide-angle lenses.

These lenses can be secured onto the Wide-Angle Adapter

above or below water as they are designed to have water

between the front of the port and the accessory lens. Make sure

no air bubbles are trapped between the port and the accessory

lens. Any vignetting that occurs can be eliminated by zooming

the camera lens slightly. The camera‘s built-in flash cannot be

used with wide angle

 

lenses. The front of the

Wide-Angle Adapter

lenses are so large they

 

block the camera‘s flash.

To properly light subjects

 

when using a wide angle

 

lens an external strobe

 

should be used. Due to

 

the wide-angle of

 

coverage of these lenses,

 

the DS125 Substrobe is

 

recommended or two

 

DS51 Substrobes.

Diffuser

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera‘s built in flash. When shooting with the camera‘s built-in flash at approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the housing may block a portion of the light from the camera‘s built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower left of the photo. If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow. (You can test this above water)

Deflector

The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe such as the DS51 or DS125 Substrobe and EV Controller. The deflector will redirect the camera‘s flash to the EV Controller which controls the external strobes output.
