Important Notes:
When installing the camera in the housing front, make sure camera is
pushed all the way forward against the front housing ribs before closing
housing. Failure to check this may result in poor camera alignment and
housing controls not engaging properly.
-Reflections may occur in some photos due to the front camera lens
chrome ring. To assist in reducing reflection, a black vinyl ring is included
with your housing. Remove the protective backing and affix the vinyl ring
to the lens chrome ring.
Zoom Control (Olympus TG-3 only)
Most Ikelite digital point and shoot housings feature a fork style zoom
control as indicated in the general instruction manual, however, the TG-3
housing features a single zoom lever due to space and design
constraints. The lever can only zoom the housing in one direction at a
time. To change the camera’s zoom direction, pull the control knob up
and rotate the lever over the camera zoom toggle. Push the knob back
down and rotate in the opposite direction to zoom the other way. After
you have used the housing's zoom lever, it must always be rotated off
the camera’s zoom toggle to the “disengaged” position. If the housing
zoom lever is pushing the zoom toggle in either direction, you may not
be able to take a picture due to the camera receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom toggle.

W-30 Lens
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. Moderate vignetting will
likely occur at widest angle camera lens setting with
these lenses. Zoom in to eliminate, or crop the image in
post processing.
Bayonet mount lenses cannot be used with this housing.
