Camera does not
take a picture
- Install a fully charged battery.
- A housing control is engaging a camera function
and will not allow the shutter to fire.
- There is not enough available light for the camera
to properly focus. Add a focusing light or strobe
with a built-in focusing light to your system.
- Select a center focus point in your camera menu.
Problem
Solution
Fogging occurs on
the Lens Port
- Humid air is trapped inside the housing.
The camera produces heat and may condense
any trapped moisture forming fog on the lens port.
Close the housing in an air conditioned room or
vehicle, or in front of an air conditioner.
- The housing should not be in direct sunlight for an
extended period of time.
- Purchase desiccant packs from a local camera
store and place one or two packs in your housing
before each day of diving.
- If water droplets or moisture is present around the
controls or sealing areas, return the housing to
Ikelite for evaluation.
- Clean the main housing o-ring, port o-ring, and
sealing surfaces of the housing.
- Make sure the camera is mounted properly on the
camera tray and housing controls are out of the
way .
Housing is hard to
close
Pictures are too blue
or too green
- Use custom (manual) white balance if available.
- Add an external strobe.
- Move in closer to your subject when taking a
picture.
