1. Lid Snaps have a LLoocckk.
To open, push Lid Snap
Lock forward and lift
as shown. Keep
pressure on the Lid
Snap so it does not fly
open quickly.
Some lid snaps have a lot of spring tension once they go overcenter, so keep a firm grip on the lid snap. Lid Snaps may beopened one at a time.

1. Remove the back from
the housing. The
mounting tray for the
camera is secured to
the housing back.
Position the camera on
the tray, and using a
coin or screwdriver
(preferred), secure it
with the mounting bolt
which threads into the
camera’s tripod socket.

Some camera tripod socket threads are plastic. The mountingtray bolt is metal. Do not cross thread or over tighten as youmay damage the camera tripod socket threads.
2. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the

We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly
before use. If you are new to underwater photography, be sure
to read the General and Photo Tips sections.
We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly
to have a full understanding of where each camera control is
located and what function each control provides.

The EV-Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user
settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-

1. Set ISO to 80.
2. Set camera to “P” mode
3. Enable macro focus for close-ups, or if pictures are over-
exposed. Camera does not stop down in macro mode, so if over-
exposure is still present when shooting close-up, move away
from the subject and zoom in.
4. Make sure flash is forced “on”

NNoottee::Closest focusing distance occurs when zoom setting is lined

up with arrow on monitor.
