This supplemental set of instructions describes additional features specific to your
housing model. Prior to testing the system in the water, please read this supplement
along with the general instruction manual to become familiar with its features and
functions.
Ikelite Video Cases are slightly negative in salt water for stability. This housing has
been water pressure tested at the factory and has a working depth of 60m (200').

O-rings last several years if properly maintained. Control seals should not need
to be replaced as long as the control shafts are kept clean and lightly lubricated.

UR/Pro color filter is described in the general instruction manual.

The internal lens shade helps block light reflection/refraction caused by the
interaction of the external color filter and the flat port.
Carefully thread the lens shade on the front of the camera lens. The lens threads
are very fine; D
DO ON NO OT Tcross thread. It should screw on very easily. If it is difficult to
turn, you are cross threading.
Completely thread the lens shade into the camera to avoid any potential clearance
or sealing problems when the camera is installed and the housing is sealed.

The lens port on the front of the housing is threaded (67mm) to accept the optional
Ikelite W-20 #6420 waterproof Wide-Angle Conversion lens or lenses offered by Inon or
Epoque. These waterproof lenses screw on to the front of the lens port and can be
attached or removed underwater for greater versatility. The threads on these lenses are
very fine; DO NOT cross thread. It should screw on very easily. If it is difficult to turn,
STOP, you are cross threading, remove and try again.
Due to the length of the port you may notice slight vignetting when in full wide
angle. A slight shading of the corners (vignetting) would be noticed when viewing thru
the electronic viewfinder or viewing your video footage. To eliminate vignetting, simply
zoom out of full wide angle slightly. This reduces the overall coverage angle only
slightly. Or contact Ikelite about a shorter port #9306.7.
There is another optional wide-angle lens, which secures directly to the front of
the camera lens, inside the housing. It is the optional 0.7X conversion wide-angle lens
WD-H37C Wide Converter offered by Canon. Note that you MUST also replace the
original lens port on the housing with the required Ikelite extended lens port #9306.70
dome port or 9306.71 flat port in order to use the optional Canon wide-angle lens inside
the housing.

flat port over the dome port.
A Flat Port magnifies the underwater subject to appear closer and larger. Termed
refraction, it also narrows the coverage angle. The enlarged image is beneficial for
standard, telephoto, and macro lenses.
Maximizing wide coverage is important with wide angle lenses. Ikelite's optical
dome lens corrects for refraction to maintain the same coverage angle underwater as
above water.
To use a color filter with the optional Extension Port requires UR/Pro Color
Filter #6441.42.

The LCD monitor on the camera can be viewed while underwater. Simply open the
LCD before the camera is secured to the housing. Note that using the LCD screen will
automatically turn off the camera's electronic viewfinder.

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. The entire zoom range is accessible underwater while using the flat lens port
on the housing. Chart shows recommended initial settings underwater.

The camera mounts directly to the bottom surface inside the housing using the
watertight camera mounting bolt provided. This mounting bolt will penetrate through the
small circular opening in the bottom of the housing and threads into the tripod mount on
the underside of the camera.
To insert the camera mounting bolt through the housing, it is first necessary to
temporarily remove the quick-release base from the underneath the housing. Refer
to the main housing instruction manual for the proper procedure to remove the
quick-release base.
Before installing the camera, pull the housing controls out to provide clearance for
the camera. Note the placement of white-color lock on the inside bottom of the housing.
Install the camera by slowly sliding the camera along the right side of this white lock.
D
DO ON NO OT Tforce this installation; if the controls are out of the way and everything
is lined up properly, the camera will fit easily inside. Make certain that the camera is
completely in the housing, and make sure that the white tray lock has secured the
camera in place.
The lens shade will fit into the port when the camera is in place.

Clean and lightly lubricate both o-rings featured on the camera mounting bolt, and
make sure the underside of the housing around the small circular opening is clean. Use
only enough lubricant to lightly cover the o-rings on the mounting bolt; wipe off any
excess with a clean cloth. Lubricant only reduces friction; it is NOT a sealant. Never use
spray lubricant as it may crack the plastic.
Once the camera is installed in the housing, insert the camera mounting bolt from
the underside of the housing through the small circular opening in the bottom of the
housing. Thread the mounting bolt into the tripod mount underneath the camera.
FIRMLY HAND-TIGHTEN to assure the proper o-ring seal against the underside of the
housing; D
DO ON NO OT Tuse a tool when tightening the mounting bolt. It is normal to see a
slight squishing of the larger o-ring on the mounting bolt when tightened against the
housing.
To remove the camera, unthread the camera mounting bolt from the camera, gently
slide the camera out of the housing.

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.

If the housing controls are not properly positioned, they could interfere with the housing seal.
