Diffuser
The diffuser should be installed when using the camera's built
in flash. When shooting with the camera's built-in flash at
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the
housing may block a portion of the light from the camera's
built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower left of the photo.
If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow.
(You can test this above water)
Deflector
The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS51 or DS125 Substrobe and EV Controller. The
deflector will redirect the camera's flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output.

Maintenance

The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care a nd 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.

3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the set screw in each control knob.

Check each control gland to make sure they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate loose during travel.

4. Keep the back o-ring clean and lightly lubricated. To lubricate remove the o-ring from the back. Put a small amount of lkelite lubricant on your fingers. Draw the o-ring through your fingers to apply a light coating of lubricant. 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 help to show a dark sealing line when the housing back is properly sealed.

5. Keep the area where the o-ring fits and the sealing surface of the housing clean.

6. Rinse the housing exterior in fresh water after each salt water use. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate spotting.

Substrobe DS51

The Substrobe DS51 covers the equivalent of a 28mm lens. It is the ideal choice when using only the camera lens

or the camera lens with a macro accessory lens.

11

Substrobe DS125

The Substrobe DS125covers the equivalent of a 18mm lens, 100 degrees. It is the ideal choice when using accessory wide angle lenses greater than 28mm.

After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap solution, 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.

CAUTION

Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause the plastic housing to crack.
