Easy Auto, Scene odes or Smart Portrait.
- Set Flash to “Fill Flash.”
- Preset the following functions in the enu Settings:
Set Image ode to “20m.”
Set White Balance to “Auto.” For more accurate colors, we
recommend setting manual white balance underwater using a
white slate, white sandy bottom or your hand. anual white
balance should be reset for each working depth due to color
absorption caused by the water. When adding a UR-Pro color
filter, reset manual white balance.

Set Autofocus ode to “AF-S.”

Insert and format a SD or SDHC memory card.
Note: Enable acro mode when shooting close-up subjects. If
overexposure occurs, back away from the subject and zoom in. If
overexposure continues, use “-” exposure compensation.

W-20 and W-30 Wide-Angle Conversion Lenses
The front of the lens port accepts the Ikelite 6420 W-20, 6430 W-30, and
other 67mm threaded wide angle or macro lenses without the need for
an adapter. An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of
coverage so you can get closer to the subject while still fitting everything
in the frame.
Slight to moderate vignetting will occur at widest angle camera lens
setting with these lenses. Zoom in to eliminate, or crop the image in
post processing. NOTE: The L30 will not vignette at widest angle setting
underwater when using the W-30 lens.
Bayonet mount lenses cannot be used with this housing.
