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).

Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash.

If you do not have an External flash the camera’s built-in flash can be used. See Diffuser Instructions.

Diffuser and Deflector Installation

Diffuser or Deflector should be installed before inserting the camera into the housing.

A diffuser and deflector are included with the housing. The diffuser is white transparent plastic and should be installed when the camera’s built-in flash will be used. The deflector is also white but is not transparent and should be installed when an exterenal Strobe and EV Controller will be used.

To install the diffuser or deflector spread the lens clamp and slide over the camera lens. The white plastic should be placed in front of the camera flash. The lens clamp should be pushed back against the camera.
