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

A diffuser and deflector are

included with the housing The

diffuser is white transparent

plastic The deflector is also

white but is not transparent

and has a decal on the front

To install the diffuser or

deflector spread the port

clamp at the spring end

and slide over the lens port

The white plastic should be

placed in front of the camera

flash The port clamp should be

pushed back against the front

of the housing

Diiffffuusseerr

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)

Deefflleeccttoorr

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
