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.
The Zoom Clamp has springs so it can be expanded to fit over

To prepare the port for installation, remove the port o’ring and
lightly lubricate it. The port seal is a side-to-side seal and
requires the o’ring to be lightly lubricated for easy installation.
Put a small amount of lubricant on your fingers and draw the
o’ring through your fingers to lightly lubricate it. Do not stretch
the o’ring. Check that the lip of the port where the o’ring fits
and the sealing surface on the housing are clean. Place the port,
with o’ring into the housing’s port opening. Press down on the
port firmly and evenly until you feel the port slide into place.
Continue to push down on the port and push each port lock
forward until it clicks into place. It may help to slightly rotate
the port as you push in on the port lock. When the port lock
clicks into place the Release Button will drop down against the
port lock.
Caution:
After installing the port, turn the Zoom Control knob on the
housing. If the Zoom Control is difficult to turn, the gear sleeve
may be warped. If so reduce or omit any rubber installed on the
Zoom Clamp. (Fig.H on pg.11). If the Zoom Clamp is still warped,
use of the #5509.28 package may be required. (See page 8)
Check around the perimeter of the port seal to see that the
o’ring is properly sealed and not extruded.

Lubricants
ikelite
Substrobe
1. Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We
recommend that you use only Ikelite lubricant as some other
brands may cause the o’ring to swell and not seal properly.
MOD-NC
2. Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover control shafts and
o’rings. Wipe off any excess lubricant with a clean cloth.
Lubricant is not a sealant, it is used to reduce friction. Excessive
lubricant can collect sand and dirt which may interfere with
proper sealing.
Using External Strobes Cont.
CAUTION
Using Ikelite Non-DS Substrobes (Substrobe 50, 100A,
200, 400) with this Housing.
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can
cause the plastic housing to crack.
The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used
with a Non-DS Substrobe. These Substrobes can be used in their
manual mode utilizing any power settings provided on the
Substrobe.

Pre-Dive Your System
It is recommended that you take the complete system into
a swimming pool before use in open water. This will give you
a chance to become familiar with the handling and operation
of your housing and strobe(s).

The buoyancy of the system will depend on the size and
number of strobes used as well as the weight of the camera.
Ideally the system should be slightly negative in the
environment in which it will be used. If you need to add weight
to the system, an optional lead weight is available. To add the
lead weight remove the (2) screws from the bottom of the
aluminum tray. Place the lead weight into the pocket of the
aluminum tray and reattach.
(*) Zoom Lenses require addition of a +4 diopter close-up to the lens for full range
operation underwater behind a dome port.
(?) This zoom lens will focus close enough that adding a +diopter close-up to
the lens is NOT required. Longer port may be required to stack filters or
close-up lenses.
Housing Back O’ring #0132.61
While both the Port and Back o’rings should last quite some time
it is best to carry a spare in case one becomes damaged or lost.
(†) A complete port requires the #5510.45 Dome Assembly in addition to the Port
Body listed. Dome Assembly and Port Bodies sold separately. See 8" Dome System
product page for more information.
(1) Diameter of lens requires this special dome port with included sleeve.
(2) Requires #5509.28 zoom and clamp set that is now included with all dSLR
housings.
(3) Diameter of lens requires this special (#5510.25) 8" dome port body and sleeve.
(4) Preferred / recommended choice.
(5) Dome shade may need to be removed to prevent vignetting.
Storing the Housing
When the housing is going to be stored for a prolonged period
it should be soaked in a mild soap solution, rinsed and dried
thoroughly. Remove the back and port from the housing.
Remove the back and port o’rings, lightly lubricate them and
place them in a plastic zip-lock bag. Place the plastic bag inside
the housing for storage. Operate the push buttons periodically.

Choosing a Port
Ports Continued
FLAT PORT
• With the lens on the camera extended
to full length, measure from front of
camera to face of lens.
• Select the appropriate port based on the
lens type and length.
• Maximum lens diameter accommodated
is 8.4cm (3.3")
• Maximum lens diameter when using
zoom or focus clamp 7.1cm (2.8").
Standard clamp - 2.8".
For standard, macro, and telephoto lenses.
Due to refraction flat ports reduce the angle-of -coverage of a lens
and at the same time enlarge the image. This makes the flat port
ideal when using standard, macro or zoom lenses to shoot small
subjects. Note that if a port is long enough to accommodate the
full length of a 1:1macro lens, the lens may vignette when used at
infinity. If access to the lens' full range is desired, then select a
dome port instead.

Maintenance
Control Maintenance
The Ikelite Housing should be given the same care and attention as
your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal
maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned to
Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.
Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service
with minimal maintenance.
1. Push button controls require no maintenance other than rinsing
in fresh water after saltwater use. If a push button control
becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed, soak the
housing in luke warm fresh water. After a few minutes operate
the push button. If this does not correct the problem, return the
housing to Ikelite for maintenance.

.
This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o’ring from
drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line when the
housing back is properly sealed.
2. Some of the controls have long shafts. These controls can be
pulled out, exposing the shaft (see drawing).
5. Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface clean.
6. Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each
salt water use. Depress push buttons several times during rinse.
Dry with a soft cloth. Dry port to eliminate water spotting.
After several uses in salt water soak the housing in a mild soap
solution, rinse and dry.
To lubricate the control, gently pull on the knob until the
stainless steel shaft is exposed. Lightly lubricate the shaft, then
move the shaft in and out several times. This will lubricate the
x’ring in the Ikelite control gland. This should be done before
using the housing after a prolonged storage period, or once a
week when the housing is in use.
7. Although not recommended, if it is necessary to remove a

3. Some of the controls have a short shaft and cannot be pulled
out exposing the shaft for lubrication. In the unlikely event one
of these controls sticks or becomes difficult to operate you can
remove the control from the housing and lubricate it, or return
the housing to Ikelite for maintenance. To remove the control,
loosen the set screw in the knob (allen wrench required);
remove the knob. If there is salt or dirt build-up on the exposed
control shaft, clean the shaft. Open the housing and gently slide
the control shaft out of the control gland. Clean and lightly
lubricate the shaft, including the end of the shaft. Slide the
shaft back into the control gland and gently slide it back and
forth a few times without fully removing the shaft from the
gland. Replace the knob, NOTE the flat area on the shaft, the
set screw in the knob should tighten down against the flat area
on the control so the knob does not turn on the shaft.
General Tips
1. You should completely assemble and test your set-up in a
swimming pool before using it in open water.
2. It is a good idea to start each photo dive with a fully charged
battery(s) in the camera and strobes.
3. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the
housing to see that it is properly sealed.
4. Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face of the
port. If there are, take your finger and remove them. If there
are bubbles on the lens port they can produce soft focus spots
in your photographs.
5. Set Image Resolution to the Highest JPG format available or
RAW. Higher resolution settings are required for printing. High
resolution images can easily be reduced in size with software
and retain their original quality. A Low resolution image can be
enlarged with software but much of the quality will be lost.

6. ISO 100 and “center-weighted averaging” metering are
recommended.
7. Digital images are usually transferred to the computer where
their appearance can be fine tuned. Many of the image
manipulation programs make you think you can magically
correct any image taken and make a good picture. One thing to
be aware of is that if an image is overexposed that some of the
color information in the file is missing. If the color is missing
you cannot adjust it. If images are underexposed the color and
detail may be there, it is just dark, and you can adjust it to some
degree. So if you error in exposure it is better to have the image
slightly underexposed than overexposed.

Photo Tips
Ikelite Limited Warranty
All Ikelite products are warranted against any manufacturing
defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase.
Defective products should be returned prepaid to Ikelite. Ikelite
will, at its discretion, repair or replace such products, and will
return to customer prepaid. All other claims, of any nature,
including but not limited to bulb failure are not covered. Except
as mentioned above, no other warranty expressed or implied,
applies to this Ikelite product.
1. The number one rule in underwater photography is eliminate
as much water between camera and subject as possible. Get as
close as you can to the subject, then use the zoom. If you are
using flash, subjects beyond 6 feet (1.8m)will not have much
color.
2. Digital cameras have a slight lag time between when you press
the shutter release button and the camera actually takes the
picture. It only takes a slight amount of pressure to trip the
shutter, if the shutter doesn’t trip immediately don’t push down
harder on the shutter control as you may damage the camera.
Hold the camera steady a second or two after pressing the
shutter release button.
Returning Products for Service
Ikelite is most interested in preforming any service to assure that
all products perform as intended. For repair or service, return the
product to the address below with your name, address, phone
number and a brief description of the problem. Evidence of
purchase date must be provided to obtain warranty service.
Normal service turnaround time is approximately 2-3weeks.
3. Do not shoot down on subjects as they will quite often blend
into the background and be difficult to see in the photograph.
Shoot subjects straight on or shoot up at a slight angle using
the blue water as a contrasting background.
4. Underwater flash is used to restore the warmer colors filtered
out by the water as well as to illuminate the subject.
Ikelite Underwater Systems
50 W 33rd Street
5. For balanced lighting meter the background and set the camera
aperture accordingly. Use TTL, adjust the strobe’s power
settings, or move the strobe closer or farther away to properly
expose the subject with the chosen camera aperture.
