Congratulations on your kelite purchase. Our products are designed

and built in the USA by kelite for both the professional and amateur.

kelite has decades of experience in the underwater photographic, video,

and lighting market. The clear housing permits instant visual inspection

of the camera and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of

controls and camera LCD screens. This housing has been factory water

pressure tested to 200’ (60m). All camera controls are fully functional

through the housing.

Please read this instruction booklet thoroughly before use to have a full

understanding of where each camera control is located, and what

function each control provides. Also, please read your camera manual

thoroughly to fully understand each camera function. f you are new to

underwater photography, be sure to read the Photo Tips section.

Before placing your camera in the housing, it is a good idea to immerse

the closed housing in a bucket or rinse tank to make sure it is watertight.

Due to the power required to operate the camera and LCD screen, start

each dive with a fully charged camera battery.

Installing the Camera

1. RA SE the camera flash before installing camera in housing.

2. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls

out of the way for installation of the camera.

3. Remove the back from the housing.

4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.

Position the camera on the tray.

5. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera with the tray

mounting bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket - diagram A.

Opening the Housing

Lid Snaps have a Lock.

To open housing, push Lid Snap

Lock forward and lift as shown.

Keep pressure on the Lid Snap so

it does not fly open quickly.

Some lid snaps have a lot of

spring tension once the go over

center, so keep a firm grip on the lid snap.

Lid Snaps ma be opened one at a time.

Closing the Housing

1. Place housing face down in your lap or on flat surface.

2. Check to see that there is an o-ring on

the housing back and that it is clean

and in its proper location.

3. Guide the back into the housing front.

The o-ring should touch the housing

all the way around. There should be

an even gap all the way around

between the housing and the housing

back.

4. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended

and place each lid snap into the

corresponding hook on the housing

back.

5. To close the housing, push down on

the lid snaps until they snap into

place. Lid snaps on opposite sides of

the housing should be closed at the

same time. Be sure they are down far

enough to engage the lock.

Double check - Once the housing is

closed, check the o-ring seal. Check

the gap between the housing back and the housing. t should be even all

the way around the housing.

Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see a

darkened area where the o-ring is compressed against the housing

back. f you do not see an even black compression seal all the way

around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and close

the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash

f you are shooting with the camera’s built-in flash and the cameras lens

is set to the widest angle, you may need to zoom the lens slightly or a

dark area may appear in a lower corner of close-up photographs. The

lens port may block some of the light. nstall the Diffuser and zoom in

slightly to eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs (You can

test this above water). See Diffuser/Deflector nstallation - page 10.

For the best results, we recommend using an external kelite Substrobe.

Zoom Control (lever type only)

After you have used the housing's

zoom control, it must be returned to the

center position to disengage. f the

housing zoom control is pushing the

zoom lever in either direction, you may

not be able to take a picture or access

other functions. This is because the

camera is receiving a signal from the

engaged zoom control.

Turn Camera On

Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to get a

feel for using the camera in the housing.

You are now ready to shoot underwater photos!

Usage

The camera’s built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or

Accessory lenses.

ote: To shoot photographs closer than 2 feet (0.6m), we recommend using

an external strobe such as the AF35, DS51, or DS161. An external

strobe can be positioned so nothing blocks the light path between the

strobe and the subject. See Recommended and Related Accessories

pages 19 - 25.

Diffuser Use

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera flash. When

shooting close-up photographs with the camera flash and at the camera

lens’s widest angle setting, the lens port on the housing can block a

portion of the light from the camera flash. This can result in a shadow in

a lower corner of the frame. Zoom the lens to eliminate the shadow (You

can test this above water).

Deflector Use

The deflector should be installed when using an kelite external strobe.

The deflector will block and redirect the camera’s flash to the AF35 slave

unit or EV-controller which controls the external strobe’s output.

Remove the diffuser before attempting to install the deflector.

Diffuser/Deflector material

Small hole

Cut-out

Section

A diffuser and deflector are

included with the housing. The

diffuser is white transparent plastic.

The deflector is also white but is

not transparent.

To install the diffuser or deflector,

push the “Cut-out” Section into the

port groove until it stops.

Note the Small Hole. To avoid

losing the diffuser or deflector, you

can attach a fishing line or string

that is secured around the back of

the housing port, to this hole.
