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 over
center, so keep a firm grip on the lid snap. Lid Snaps may be
opened one at a time.

1. Pull out on each
housing control until it
stops. This will get the
controls out of the way
for installing the
camera.
2. 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.
CCAAU UTTIIO ON N::
Some camera tripod socket threads are plastic. The mounting
tray bolt is metal. Do not cross thread or over tighten as you
may damage the camera tripod socket threads.

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-flash or non pre-flash. TThhiiss ccaam meerraa uusseess pprree--ffllaasshh, thus the
EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash position when used
with this camera as a slave. If hard-wired to the housing, set the
EV-Controller to Non pre-flash. TTL flash control is not
available when using an EV-Controller, and therefore is not
recommended with this housing.
