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 Epoque, Inon or Sea&Sea lens, carefully thread
the waterproof lens on the front of the lens port. The lens threads are very fine;

The camera's LCD monitor can be viewed thru the side of the housing. Open the
LCD monitor on the camera, rotate 180°, and then press it back against the side of the
camera so that the LCD monitor is visible.
To view the image on the LCD monitor from the rear of the housing, Ikelite offers
optional External Mirror #9290.94, which adheres to the outside of the housing. Then
the LCD image can be viewed from the rear.

Install a fully charged Canon battery on the camera:
Canon NB-2LH, BP-2L14
Other brand batteries may not fit inside the housing. If the battery selected
overhangs the camera tray by a dimension greater than 8mm (5/16"), 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.

Remove the lens cap and cord from the camera. Otherwise, they may interfere with
the housing seal.
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. Full range zoom range is accessible underwater. Chart shows recommended
initial settings underwater.
