Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera

Housing. Ikelite has over 40 years of experience in the underwater

photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and

built in the USA by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur

photographer.

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.

Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for

stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the

factory. Housing is pressure tested to 200’ (60m).

to have a full understanding of where each camera control is

located and what function each control provides.
