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 Substrobe DS package includes
the Substrobe DS EV Controller
and ball socket arm An external
strobe offers several advantages
over using the camera’s built in
flash External strobes move the
flash away from the camera lens
which helps reduce backscatter
They also expand lighting options
to achieve the best lighting for
different subjects A second external
digital strobe package can be added
to fill the shadows and produce
more realistic photographs
The Substrobe DS covers the
equivalent of a mm lens It is the
ideal choice when using only the
camera lens or the camera lens
with a macro accessory lens
If an accessory wide angle lens
wider than mm is used the ideal
lighting choice is the Substrobe
DS which covers degrees or
two Substrobe DS ’s can be used
