The Lens Port is factory sealed do not remove
Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens After use rinse
and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting To clean
use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port
The Lens Port is threaded so that accessory lenses may 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 and Sea & Sea 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 The camera’s built in
flash cannot be used with
wide angle lenses The front
of the lenses are so large
they block the camera’s
flash To properly light
subjects when using a wide
angle lens an external strobe
should be used Due to the
wide angle coverage of the
Inon and Sea & Sea lenses
the DS Substrobe is
recommended or two DS
Substrobes

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
