Push back on the lock and lift the latch. Unhook the latch from the  
front of the housing. The two halves of the housing will now swing  
open.  
Slide the camera’s Lens Barrier OPEN, this turns the camera ON.  
NOTE:  
There is no provision in the housing for sliding the Lens  
Barrier once the camera is in the housing.  
With the housing face down place the right edge of the camera  
into the housing as far forward as possible and against the foam  
spacer on the right. Gently push the left edge of the camera into  
the housing with the base of the camera against the bottom of the  
housing. The top foam spacer and the front rubber spacers hold the  
camera in position.

1. Due to the power required to operate the camera, flash,  
and LCD screen it is a good idea to start each dive with a  
fresh set of batteries. (see camera manual).  
6. Much is written about reviewing pictures on the LCD screen  
right after taking them and deleting the bad ones. While it is  
some what possible to evaluate your picture on the LCD screen,  
taking the time to eliminate the bad ones may not be the best  
approach. In bright sunlight the LCD screen can be difficult to  
see and underwater one does not have a lot of time to spend  
eliminating photographs. A better solution is to purchase a  
large memory card (film) that will allow you to take 100 plus  
pictures in the High Quality mode. For most divers this would  
be enough storage space for pictures from a couple of dives.  
With a larger card you can check the picture, if it isn’t what you  
want you don’t have to spend time deleting the picture, you can  
spend that time concentrating on the subject and how to take a  
better picture. Photos are best evaluated on a computer screen.  
2. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the  
housing to see that it is properly sealed.  
3. Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face  
of the lens port. If there are, take your finger and remove them.  
If there are bubbles on the lens port they can produce soft focus  
spots in your photographs.  
4. Use the macro mode for photographs closer than 1.5 feet  
(45cm).  
5. Shoot pictures at the highest resolution. Several printing  
methods require high resolution. It is easy to reduce the size  
and resolution, but almost impossible to increase size and  
resolution from a small file and obtain a satisfactory result.

All Ikelite products are warranted against any manufacturing  
defects for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase.  
Defective products should be returned prepaid to Ikelite.  
Ikelite will, at its discretion, repair or replace such products,  
and will return to customer prepaid. All other claims, of any  
nature, including but not limited to bulb failure are not covered.  
Except as mentioned above, no other warranty expressed  
or implied, applies to this Ikelite product.  
1. The number one rule in underwater photography is  
eliminate as much water between camera and subject as  
possible. Get as close as you can to the subject, then use the  
zoom. If you are using flash, subjects beyond 5-6 feet (1.8m)  
will not have much color.  
2. Digital cameras have a slight lag time between when you  
press the shutter release button and the camera actually takes  
the picture. Hold the camera steady a second or two after  
pressing the shutter release button.

3. Do not shoot down on subjects as they will quite often blend  
into the background and be difficult to see in the photograph.  
Shoot subjects straight on or shoot up at a slight angle using  
the blue water as a contrasting background.  
Ikelite is most interested in performing any service to assure  
that all products perform as intended. For repair or service, return  
the product to the address below with your name, address, phone  
number and a brief description of the problem. Evidence of  
purchase date must be provided to obtain warranty service.  
4. Underwater flash is used to restore the warmer colors  
filtered out by the water as well as to illuminate the subject.  
When photographing underwater, set the camera to use flash  
on every shot.
