Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash
For the best results, we recommend using an external Ikelite
Substrobe. If you do not have an external flash, the camera’s
built-in flash can be used. This use is limited due to the housing
port blocking a porion of the built-in camera flash. See
Diffuser/Deflector Installation (page 9).
NOTE: The camera’s built-in flash cannot be used with optional
Wide-Angle or Accessory lenses.

Check Main O-ring Seal and Controls
Once the housing has been closed, look at the main housing o-ring
seal from the “top view” as seen on page 4. Rotate the housing 360
degrees and note the o-ring seal by looking through the clear
housing. A good seal should appear as a solid black line.
Housing Controls
Make sure the housing controls line up with the camera controls.
Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to
get a feel for using the camera in the housing. Take a few pictures
above water with the camera in the housing.
- All camera controls are accessed except the rear Control Dial.Use
arrow pad instead to change menu settings.

Zoom Control: 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 other functions. This
is because the camera is
receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom control.
