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.

Noott leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
2. D

Noott ship the camera in the housing.
3. 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.
4. 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

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.
5. Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of
the housing clean.
6. 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 DS51 package includes
the Substrobe DS51, 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 DS51 covers the
equivalent of a 28mm 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 28mm is used, the ideal
lighting choice is the Substrobe
DS125, which covers 100 degrees, or
two Substrobe DS51’s can be used.
