Please Read If Using an EV-Manual Controller

The EV-Manual Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash or non pre-flash. Your camera model uses pre-flashin all shooting modes except “M manual mode. The EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash position except when using “M” manual mode. We recommend setting the Controller for “pre-flash” and using “Av” aperture priority mode.

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.

Optional Accessories (cont.)

Tray with Release Handle #9523.31

Tray and Release Handle is required to mount external Ikelite Digital Substrobes (except AF35) - page 13. Contact an Ikelite dealer to order and receive additional information regarding all Ikelite strobe packages.

Ikelite W-20 Wide-Angle Conversion Lens #6420

An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage, so you can get closer to your

subject while still fitting everything in the frame. Add an Ikelite W-20 or other 67mm wide-angle conversion lens to improve your angle of coverage in any shooting situation.

Vignetting will occur at widest angle camera lens setting with these lenses. Zoom in 2 or 3 times to eliminate, or crop the image in post-processing.

NOTE: Accessory 67mm macro lenses designed for underwater use may also be attached directly to the front of the housing's port. Bayonet mount lenses cannot be used with this housing.

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.

3Keep 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.

4Rinse 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.

S95 specifications

The Ikelite S95 underwater housing is a highly sought-after accessory for amateur and professional underwater photographers alike. Designed specifically for the Canon PowerShot S95 camera, this housing combines durability, functionality, and user-friendliness. It is engineered to withstand depths of up to 200 feet (60 meters), making it a reliable option for a variety of underwater environments, from shallow reefs to deeper dive sites.

One of the standout features of the Ikelite S95 housing is its robust construction. Made from corrosion-resistant materials, including a clear polycarbonate and heavy-duty ABS plastic, it provides excellent protection against the harsh underwater conditions. The transparent design allows for a clear view of the camera's controls and the LCD screen, ensuring ease of use while capturing stunning underwater images.

The housing is equipped with an innovative sealing system that prevents water ingress, and the use of O-rings ensures a secure fit. The controls are well-placed and easy to manipulate, allowing users to access essential camera functions without hassle. This intuitive design is especially beneficial for photographers who need quick adjustments while in the water.

Another noteworthy feature is the option for external lighting. The Ikelite S95 housing includes a built-in mount for the external Ikelite strobes, which can greatly enhance the quality of underwater photos by providing additional light. This feature is particularly valuable when shooting in deeper or darker environments where natural light is limited.

Additionally, the housing provides access to all essential camera settings, including the shooting mode, exposure compensation, and playback functions. This accessibility enables photographers to use the Canon S95’s advanced features, such as its high-quality image processing and manual shooting capabilities, to achieve professional results.

The Ikelite S95 housing is also relatively lightweight, which is a significant advantage for divers who may need to carry their gear over long distances or in challenging conditions. With a user-friendly design and the reliability needed for underwater photography, the Ikelite S95 is an excellent investment for anyone looking to explore and capture the beauty of the underwater world. Whether documenting marine life or simply enjoying a hobby, this housing ensures that every moment beneath the surface can be beautifully preserved.
