Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera Housing. Ikelite has over 40 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).

Double check - Once the housing is closed, check the o’ring seal. Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it should be even all the way around.

Look through the clear plastic back at the o’ring. You should see a darkened area where the o’ring is compressed against the housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.
