LLuubbrriiccaannttss
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing We recommend
you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other
brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o’rings Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth
Lubricant is not a sealant it is used to reduce friction Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built in
flash When shooting with the camera’s built in flash at
approximately feet (
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)

The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS or DS Substrobe and EV Controller The
deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output
