Lens Port

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean, use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.

Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.

Wide-Angle Adapter #9306.81is required to mount the #6420

Ikelite W-20 Wide-Angle Lens and other manufacturer’s

(67mm) screw thread style wide-angle lenses.

The 67mm style lenses can be secured onto the Wide-Angle

Adapter above or below water (preferred), as they are designed

to have water between the front of the port and the accessory

lens. Make sure no air bubbles are trapped between the port

and the accessory lens. Any vignetting that occurs can be

eliminated by cropping the image in post-processing, or by

zooming the camera lens slightly. Zooming the lens with a

Wide Angle Adaptor attached can cause the image edges to

soften. The camera's built-in flash cannot be used with wide

angle lenses. The front of the

Wide-Angle Adapter

lenses are so large they block

 

the camera's flash. To properly

 

light subjects when using a

Wide-Angle Lens

wide angle lens, an external

 

strobe should be used. Due to the wide-angle coverage of these lenses, the DS160 Substrobe or two DS51 Substrobes is recommended. Bayonet mount adaptor lenses cannot be used due to extreme vignetting.
