The lens port on the front of the housing accepts the optional wide angle lenses
offered by Epoque (DCL-20), Inon (UWL-100) and Sea&Sea (58070). These waterproof
lenses secure to the outside of the lens port, and are not marketed by Ikelite.
Should you elect to use the optional Inon or Sea&Sea lens, carefully thread the
waterproof lens on the front of the lens port. The lens threads are very fine; D
DO ON NO OT T
cross thread. It should screw on very easily. If it is difficult to turn, you are cross
threading.
There are two other optional wide angle lens available, either of which secure
directly to the front of the camera lens, inside the housing. Ikelite offers optional 0.7x
wide angle lens #0904.51 which is compatible with this camera system. Or select the
Canon-brand 0.7x wide angle lens #WD-30.5. Note that you MUST also replace the
original lens port on the housing with the optional Ikelite dome port #9306.31 in order
to use either of these optional wide angle lenses inside the housing.

See exactly what the camera sees underwater using the camera's electronic
viewfinder in conjunction with the Ikelite Super-Eye which is permanently mounted in
the eyeport on the clear back plate. The Super-Eye extends the viewfinder image to
provide enhanced viewing underwater.

Install a fully charged Canon battery on the camera:
Canon BP-511, BP-512, BP-522
The Canon BP-522 battery does overhang the back of the camera tray slightly.
Other brand batteries may not fit inside the housing. If the battery selected
overhangs the camera tray by a dimension greater than 9.5mm (3/8"), then the battery
is too large and will cause the housing to leak.
Make sure you have loaded an appropriate digital cassette tape in the camera.

The program selector on the camera MUST be in the [P] position for the focus lock
button to function.
The camera's auto focus feature is utilized underwater. For best results, move in
close to your subject and use the wide angle range to shoot thru as little water as
possible. N
No ot te e: :Most internal wide-angle conversion lenses must be used with the
camera lens set at it’s widest angle. When using the wide-angle conversion lens, if the
camera lens is zoomed toward telephoto, the edges of the photograph may become
blurred. The farther the lens is zoomed the greater the blurred area.

Note the placement of the camera tray underneath the guides, and note the
white-color lock on the inside wall of the housing that secures the tray in place.
Gently push up on the white tray lock to release the camera tray, and slide the tray
out of the housing.
Place the camera between the stabilizing pins on the tray. Secure camera with
the tripod mounting bolt. The camera should fit easily on the tray and should be
parallel with the sides of the tray.

Pull the housing controls out to provide clearance for the camera. Slowly slide the
camera tray (with camera mounted) back into the housing. As the camera slides into the
housing, make sure the camera lens fits into the port recess in the front of the housing.
D

lined up properly, the camera and tray will fit easily inside. Make certain that the tray is
completely in the housing, and make sure that the white tray lock has locked the camera
tray in place.

Slide the housing controls back in place making sure they properly align with the
camera functions.
Operate each control to see how it works with the camera. Some controls such as
start/stop will be used frequently. Other controls may seldom be utilized. Refer to your
camera owner's manual for the proper function of each camera control. Look thru the
back to be sure that you can see into the viewfinder.
When using the housing controls, especially the start/stop, D
DO ON NO OT Tuse excessive
force because you could damage the camera.

Remove the lens cap and cord from the camera. Otherwise, the cord may interfere with the housing
seal. If the housing controls are not properly positioned, they could interfere with the housing seal.
