Lubricants 1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products as some other brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly. 2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and o’rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth. Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with proper sealing.
Optional Accessories Maintenance Back O'ring #109 O'rings last for several years if properly maintained. (See Maintenance) Always carry a spare o'ring in case the housing o'ring becomes damaged or lost. UR/Pr0 Filter #6441.41 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. 1.
Photo Tips 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 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.
