The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and
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
D Doo N Noott leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods Heat may damage the camera
D Doo N Noott ship the camera in the housing
Before using the housing always check the tightness of the sseett
ssccrreew w in each control knob
Check each ccoonnttrrooll ggllaanndd penetrating the housing to make sure
they are tight There is a slight chance that either could vibrate
loose during travel
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 D Doo N Noott ssttrreettcchh tthhee oo’’rriinngg
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
Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of
the housing clean
Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each salt
water use Dry with a soft cloth Dry lens port to eliminate water
spotting
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

The Lens Port is threaded so that accessory lenses can be
screwed onto the port The threads are very fine take care not
to cross thread the lens
Wide angle lenses are available from Inon Sea & Sea and
Epoque These lenses can be screwed onto the lens port above
or below water These lenses are designed to have water
between the front of the port and the accessory lens Make sure
no air bubbles are trapped between the port and the accessory
lens There may be slight vignetting when these wide angle
lenses are installed Any
vignetting that occurs can
be eliminated by zooming
the camera lens slightly
To properly light subjects
when using a wide angle
accessory lens an external
strobe should be used
Due to the wide angle of
coverage of the Inon Sea
& Sea and Epoque lenses
the DS Substrobe is
recommended or two
