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
D 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)
D 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

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 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 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
