Camera Setup

1 Set Camera mode to “P”.

2. Set flash to “FILL IN” (lightning bolt).

3. Set White Balance to “Auto”.

4. Set Autofocus mode to “Spot”.

5. Set ISO 64.

NOTE: If over-exposure occurs, back away from the subject and then zoom in as necessary. This will normally cause an increase in shutter speed and a smaller aperture setting.

Flash Diffuser

A flash diffuser (included with housing) clips over the back of the lens port and should be attached when using the internal camera flash. The diffuser is translucent.

Flash Deflector

A flash deflector (included with housing) clips over the back of the lens port and should be attached when using external strobes. The deflector is identical to the diffuser, but it is opaque.

Ikelite W-20Wide-Angle Conversion Lens #6420 Your housing port has 67mm threads inside it’s outer lip. Add an Ikelite W-20 or other 67mm wide-angle lenses for increased color and clarity in any condition. The 67mm Ikelite W-20 wide angle conversion lens increases angle of coverage so you can get much closer to your subject while still fitting everything in the frame. NOTE: Slight vignetting may occur at widest angle camera lens setting. Zoom in slightly to eliminate, or crop the image in post-processing.

Bayonet mount accessory lenses CANNOT be used. 2
