Important Notices

»This housing requires a compatible Lens Port for waterproof

operation. The housing is not waterproof without a Lens Port

attached.

»To prevent salt build-up and sticking controls, submerge the

empty housing in clean, freshwater. Operate the controls

several times each while underwater to ush out any residue.

»Never leave a housing in a rinse tank, even if it is the only

system in the tank. Most catastrophic oods happen when the

user walks away from a housing while it is in the rinse tank.

»Do not use alcohol, cleaning agents, spray lubricants, Rain-X,

or other solvents on the housing or lens port. Use of an

incompatible chemical compound can damage the plastic and

o-rings, and may result in leaking.

Accessory Port

»Do not remove the Accessory Port Hole Plug unless you are

installing a compatible accessory such as factory optional

Vacuum Kit # 47012.

Your housing features one 1/2-20 threaded Accessory Port which

may be used for attachment of factory optional or aftermarket housing

accessories. Visit ikelite.com for an updated list of factory optional

accessories.

Setting Up Your Camera

Pre-Installation Checklist & Initial Camera Settings

1. Insert a fully charged camera battery.

2. Insert a properly formatted memory card.

3. Set Mode Dial to “M” Manual Mode. Set aperture to f/8 and

shutter speed to 1/125th second. Other shooting modes are not

recommended.

4. Set Image Review to “4 sec.”

5. Set AF operation to “ONE SHOT” and AF method to “1-point AF.”

6. Set AF-assist beam to “OFF.”

7. Set ISO speed to “200.”

8. Set Metering to “Center-weighted”.

9. In Flash Control: Set E-TTL II meter to “Evaluative.” Set E-TTL II

to “Average.” Set Red-eye reduc. to “Off” and Shutter Sync. to “1st

curtain.” Set external ash settings as desired once a strobe is

detected and turned on.

10. Set White Balance to “AWB.” Always use auto white balance (AWB)

when using a strobe/ash. When recording video or shooting stills

without a strobe, AWB can still be used, but for more accurate and

consistent colors we recommend setting Custom white balance.

11. Set Touch Operation to “Disable.”

12. Set Eco Mode to “Off.”

13. In Power Saving: Set Display Off to “3 min.” and Auto Power Down

to “5 min.”

14. EXTEND camera ash and DO NOT attach hotshoe to camera

when using a ber optic cord and strobe. You cannot extend the

ash once the camera is closed inside the housing.

Settings not mentioned should be set to the user’s preference.

Setting Up Your Housing

Opening the Housing

1. Push the lid snap lock forward and start to lift the curved end away

from the housing.

2. Lid snaps are designed to provide enough force to compress the

o-ring for a proper seal. Keep rm pressure against the lid snap

while lifting it away.

Lid Snap Lock

3. Repeat with remaining lid snap(s).

4. Remove the housing back.

Inserting the Camera

1. Remove any lanyard or neck strap which may be attached to the

camera.

2. Check to see whether the camera’s lens will t through the port

opening of the housing. If not, the lens will need to be removed

from the camera body and reattached AFTER the camera body is

installed in the housing.

3. Remove the camera mounting plate from the housing.

4. Line up the Mounting Screw with the Camera Tripod Socket. Use

a coin or at head screwdriver (preferred) to tighten the mounting

plate to the camera.

5. Pull out on the housing control knobs to move the controls out of

the way.

6. Insert the Mounting Plate into the slot on the inside bottom of the

housing. Push the camera all of the way forward until the back of

the Mounting Plate is ush with the Housing Plate Mount Top Rib,

page 5.

Attaching the Hotshoe

1. DO NOT attach the Hotshoe if you are using a ber optic

strobe. Once the Hotshoe is connected to the camera, the internal

camera ash is disabled.

2. Make sure the Hotshoe and camera contacts are clean.

3. Slide the Hotshoe onto the camera Hotshoe Mount.

4. Push the Hotshoe forward until it is unable to go any farther. The

Hotshoe must be pushed all the way forward to make proper

contact with the camera and provide TTL operation. Make sure

the Hotshoe wire does not interfere with any housing control

operations.

Closing the Housing

1. Make sure the o-ring is clean and in its proper location on the back

of the housing. The main o-ring does not require lubricant to make

a seal.

2. Place the back onto the housing front.

3. Make sure no controls or wires are interfering with the o-ring or the

back of the housing.

4. Place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing

back.

5. Push the lid snaps towards the housing until they are at against

the housing and the lock has engaged. Close opposing lid snaps at

the same time.

6. Check the o-ring seal. The o-ring should form a uniform, solid line

around the back of the housing. There will be a small, even gap

around the housing between the housing back and the housing

front.

Attaching the Lens Port

A compatible lens port is required for waterproof operation.

Never submerge the housing without a lens port attached.

1. Lightly lubricate the o-ring on the Port Base. When properly

lubricated, the o-ring should have an even, slightly shiny

appearance. Wipe off any excess lubricant. Lubricant prevents the

o-ring from rolling or extruding; it is not a sealing mechanism.

2. If using an optional Gear Sleeve, place it in the Port Base with the

teeth side facing away from the housing.
