Attaching the Control Ring Gear (continued)
When installing the camera in the housing, make sure that the Control
Ring Gear meshes properly with the small black housing gear.
When removing the Gear, leave the Set Screws in the Gear. The Set
Screws are very small and easy to lose. Extra Set Screws are included
with your housing. We recommend that you leave the gear installed as it
makes rotating the camera control ring easier when out of the housing.

The housing port is designed to accept 3.0-inch diameter color filters and
wide angle or macro options with 67mm threads. Ikelite offers the 6430
W-30 external wide angle conversion lens to increase your angle of
coverage. This allows you to get closer to the subject while still fitting
everything in the frame.
Vignetting will occur at widest angle camera lens setting with Wide Angle
Conversion lenses. Zoom in slightly to eliminate, or crop the image in
post processing.

AF35 trobe Package 4035
Ikelite strobes are much more powerful, recycle
more quickly, and eliminate more backscatter
than the camera's built-in flash.The AutoFlash
AF35 (pictured at right) is an easy and affordable
way to add a strobe to your system. The AF35 is
effective up to approximately 5 feet (1.5m) from
the subject and restores the colors that are
otherwise lost.
The AF35 is a great compliment, and an
effortless, affordable way to add a flash to your
new Ikelite point and shoot camera system.
Everything you need to get started is in the box.
Just attach it to the bottom of your housing and
start taking pictures!
