Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera
Housing. Ikelite has over 40 years of experience in the underwater
photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and
built in the USA by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur
photographer.
The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera
and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls
and camera LCD screens.
Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for
stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the
factory. Housing is pressure tested to 200' (60m).

Opening the Housing
Lid Snaps have a Lock.
To open, push Lid Snap Lock
forward and lift as shown.
Keep pressure on the Lid
Snap so it does not fly open
quickly.
Some lid snaps have a lot of
spring tension once they go over center, have a firm grip on the
lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

Installing the Camera
1. Remove the back from
the housing. The
mounting tray for the
camera is secured to the
housing back. Position the
camera and lens on the
tray and secure it with
the mounting bolt which
threads into the camera's
tripod socket.

Flash Connection for External Strobes
When using an external strobe connect the housings Hot Shoe
Connector, slide the connector into the hot shoe of the camera
from the back of the camera as shown. Slide the connector
forward until
it stops. This can
be done after
the
camera is
secured with the
mounting
bolt.
Caution:
Do not remove the
External Strobe
Connector's
waterproof cap
unless an
external sync cord
is going to be
plugged in.
Installing Camera in Housing
Before installing the camera, pull out on the controls in the front
section of the housing. This will allow the camera to slide in
easier. Once the camera is installed and the lid snaps have been
closed, return the controls to their operating position.

Closing the Housing
1. Place housing face down in your
lap.
2. Check to see that there is an o'ring
on the housing back and that it is
clean and in its proper location.
3. Guide the back onto the housing.
The o'ring should touch the
housing all the way around. There
should be an even gap all the way
around between the housing and
the housing back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are
extended and place the lid snap
into the hook on the housing back.
5. To close the housing push
down on the lid snaps until
they snap into place . Lid
snaps on opposite sides of the
housing should be closed at the
same time. Be sure they are down
far enough to engage the lock.
Double check - Once the housing is
closed, check the o'ring seal. Check the gap between the
housing back and the housing, it should be even all the way
around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o'ring. You should see a
darkened area where the o'ring is compressed against the
housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal
all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the
housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

opening that IS larger in
diameter than the zoom ring. (Fig. 2).
Zoom Clamps & Gear Sleeves Included with Housing

Installing the Zoom Clamp & Gear Sleeve On the Type 1 Lenses
Installing the Zoom Clamp
The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over
the Zoom ring of the lens as shown in (Fig. Q. Install the Zoom
Clamp with the extension tabs toward the rear element of the
lens. After installing the Zoom Clamp, check that when rotating
the Zoom Clamp it rotates the Zoom ring on the lens. If the
Zoom Clamp is not tight enough to rotate the Zoom ring on the
lens, remove the Zoom Clamp and install the rubber strips
(supplied) to the inside of the Zoom Clamp as shown (Fig. F).
Two thicknesses of rubber strips are provided. Start by installing
the thinnest rubber strips, if the Zoom Clamp still is not tight
enough use the thicker rubber strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp.
Install the Gear Sleeve
After the Zoom Clamp is installed, lower the appropriate Gear
Sleeve over the Zoom Clamp aligning the Gear Sleeve ribs with the
grooves in the Zoom Clamps extended tabs as shown (Fig. D & E),
Note that the ribs of the Gear Sleeve should slide freely in the
grooves of the Zoom Clamp. If the Gear Sleeve does not slide
freely, remove any rubber strips on the inside of the Zoom Clamp,
if no rubber strips are installed then try using the Zoom Clamp
and Gear Sleeve for Type 2 lenses in the #5509.28 package.
Lower the Gear Sleeve into the port opening of the housing so
the teeth on the Gear Sleeve mesh with the teeth on the housing
Drive Gear (Fig. G). When the port is installed it will lock the
Gear Sleeve in place. After installing the port, rotate the housings
Zoom Control Knob to see that the Gear Sleeve is properly
routing the lenses Zoom ring.

Installing the Zoom Clamp & Gear Sleeve On Type 2 Lenses
Due to the larger diameter of lens opening on Type 2 lenses, the
Zoom Clamp and Gear Sleeve need to be installed from the rear
(bayonet end) of the lens. Use the housings Lens Release Control
and remove the camera lens from the camera body.
Installing the Zoom Clamp
The Zoom Clamp has springs so
it can be expanded to fit over the
Zoom ring of the lens as shown
in (Fig. I). Install the Zoom Clamp
with the extension tabs toward
the rear element of the lens. After
installing the Zoom Clamp, check
that when rotating the Zoom
Clamp it rotates the
Zoom ring on the
lens. If the Zoom
Clamp is not tight
enough to rotate
the Zoom ring on
the lens, remove
the Zoom Clamp
and install the rubber
strips (supplied) to the inside of
the Zoom Clamp as shown (Fig. H)
Two thickness of rubber strips
are provided. Start by installing
the thinnest rubber strips, if the
Zoom Clamp still is not tight
enough use the thicker rubber
strips. Reinstall the Zoom Clamp,
