Ikelite Digital Strobe Packages

For the best photo results in all shooting conditions, Ikelite highly recommends that you use an external digital strobe. Ikelite strobes are much more powerful, recycle more quickly, and eliminate backscatter created by the camera's built-in flash. The following strobe packages come complete with the strobe, arm, and slave unit (to sense the camera flash):

1.#4035AutoFlash AF35 designed specifically for the Ikelite Compact and ULTRAcompact Digital housings.

2.#3944.54 Substrobe DS-51 Deluxe Package

3.#3944.77 Substrobe DS-125 Package

4.#3944.91 Substrobe DS-160Package

The addition of an external strobe to your housing will help eliminate particles in the water that are “lit-up” by the camera flash, commonly called backscatter. A second strobe will eliminate shadows and add more depth to your subjects.

Tray with Release Handle #9523.31

Tray and Release Handle is required to mount external Digital Substrobes DS-51, DS-125, and DS-160.

Maintenance

The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and attention as your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal maintenance, we recommend that the housing be returned to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.

1. Do Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.

2. Do Not ship the camera in the housing.

3 Keep the back o-ring clean and lightly lubricated. Only apply enough lubricant to make the o-ring feel slick. Do Not stretch the o-ring. This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o-ring from drying out, and will also reduce friction when opening and closing the housing. Keep the area where the o-ring fits and the sealing surface of the housing clean.

4 Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each salt water use. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate water spotting.

After several uses in salt water, soak the housing exterior in a mild soap solution, then rinse and dry before storage. When storing the housing, remove the back o-ring, lightly lubricate, and place in a plastic bag. Place the plastic bag with o-ring inside the housing for safe keeping.

Important Zoom Control Info (not on all housings)

If your new Ikelite ULTRAcompact Digital Housing contains a “lever type” zoom control as pictured below, please read the following NOTE.

Zoom Control (lever type only)

NOTE: After you have used the housing's zoom control it must be returned to the center position to disengage. If the housing zoom control is pushing the zoom lever in either direction you may not be able to take a picture or access any other function. This is because the camera is receiving a signal from the engaged zoom control.

Control Maintenance

Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service with minimal maintenance.

1. Push button controls require no maintenance other than rinsing in fresh water after saltwater use. If a push button control becomes difficult to push, or if it sticks when depressed, soak the housing in luke warm fresh water. After a few minutes operate the push button. If this does not correct the problem, return the housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.

2. If a housing control shaft becomes “sticky” and hard to operate, return the housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.
