Initial Camera Setup (before placing camera in housing)  
-
Insert a fully charged battery. Due to the power required to operate the  
camera and LCD screen, start each dive with a fully charged camera  
battery.  
-
-
-
-
Insert and format a memory card.  
Set camera date and time.  
Set ISO to “80.”  
Set camera mode dial to “Av” Aperture priority. In Aperture Priority mode  
"Av" the shutter speed should automatically go to 1/60 second.  
Set Flash to “On” (lightning bolt in LCD).  
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
For General photography, set aperture to f3.5.  
For Macro photography, set aperture to f8.0.  
Set White Balance (AWB) to “Auto.”  
Set Image Size to “L” and compression to “S” Superfine.  
Set Metering to “Center-Weighted Average.”  
In the camera menu set the “ND” Filter to “Cancel.”  
NOTES:  
TTL Flash is NOT available when camera is in “M” Manual mode. There  
is no TTL flash even with Canon's own flash in the camera "M" mode.  
Manual power settings can be selected with the multi-control button on  
the back of the camera. The strobe should still be left in TTL to take  
advantage of this feature.  
Leave the housing hotshoe disconnected when using an EV Manual  
Controller. If using an EV controller in “M” Manual mode, set the EV  
controller to “non-Pre-flash.” Please read page 26 for additional  
information when using an EV Manual Controller.  
When multiple exposure (continuous shooting) mode is used, the  
external flash will not fire. This is normal and also happens with Canon  
external speedlights.

Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.  
Installing the Camera  
1. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls  
out of the way for installation of the camera.  
2. Remove the back from the housing.  
3. Remove camera lanyard from camera if attached.  
4. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.  
Position the camera on the tray.  
5. Slide the housing Hotshoe Connector into the Camera Hotshoe Mount  
- page 10, diagram A. Slide the connector forward until it stops. This  
should be done before the camera is secured with the mounting bolt  
- page 10, diagram B.  
Note: If you are using an EV Controller or slave strobe and NOT hardwiring  
your strobes directly to the housing, leave the housing hotshoe  
disconnected from the camera. You will also need to install the Flash  
Deflector (supplied) into the external port groove to block and deflect the  
camera flash to the EV controller - page 13.  
6. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera with the Tray  
Mounting Bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket - page 10,

Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash  
If you are shooting with the camera’s built-in flash and the cameras lens  
is set to the widest angle, you may need to zoom the lens slightly or a  
dark area may appear in a lower corner of close-up photographs. The  
lens port may block some of the light. Install the Diffuser and zoom in  
slightly to eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs (You can  
test this above water). See Diffuser/Deflector Installation - page 13.  
For the best results, we recommend using an external Ikelite Substrobe.  
The camera’s built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or  
Accessory lenses.  
Closing the Housing  
1. Place housing face down in your lap or on a  
flat surface.  
Housing Back  
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 into the housing front. 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.  
O-ring

4. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and  
place each lid snap into the corresponding  
hook on the housing back.  
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.

Usage  
Final Check  
The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera and  
sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls and camera  
LCD screens. This housing has been factory water pressure tested to  
200’ (60m).  
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 the housing.  
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.  
Zoom Control (lever type only)  
After you have used the housing's  
zoom control, it must be returned to the  
center position to disengage. If the  
housing zoom control is pushing the  
zoom lever in either direction, you may

not be able to take a picture or access  
other functions. This is because the  
camera is receiving a signal from the

Diffuser and Deflector Installation  
A Diffuser and Deflector are  
included with the housing. The  
Diffuser is white transparent  
plastic. The Deflector is also white  
but is not transparent.

Cut-out  
Section  
To install the Diffuser or Deflector,  
push the “Cut-out” Section over the  
port and into the port groove until it  
stops.  
Small hole  
Note the Small Hole. To avoid  
losing the Diffuser or Deflector, you  
can attach a fishing line or string to  
this hole.  
Diffuser/Deflector properly  
installed in port groove  
Diffuser Use  
The Diffuser should be installed when using the camera flash. When  
shooting close-up photographs with the camera flash and at the camera  
lens’s widest angle setting, the lens port on the housing can block a  
portion of the light from the camera flash. This can result in a shadow in  
a lower corner of the frame. Zoom the lens to eliminate any shadow not  
eliminated by the Diffuser (You can test this above water).  
Deflector Use  
The Deflector should be installed when using a slave unit to trigger an  
external strobe. The Deflector will block and redirect the camera’s flash  
to an EV-controller or other slave unit which controls the external  
strobe’s output. Remove the Diffuser before attempting to install the  
deflector.

Ikelite Housing Conversion Circuitry  
This housing has Ikelite designed and patented Conversion Circuitry  
built into the housing back. The Conversion Circuitry provides real  
Canon eTTL flash exposure when used with Ikelite DS series  
Substrobes.  
Once a DS-series substrobe is attached to the camera housing, the  
conversion circuitry is automatically powered after the strobe is turned  
on. Once attached, turn the strobe on first before turning on the camera.  
Attaching an Ikelite Strobe Arm to the Housing Handle  
To attach an Ikelite Arm to your  
Ikelite Arm  
Housing Handle, depress the  
spring-loaded Handle Push  
Button until it stops. Gently slide  
the pronged end of the Ikelite

Attaching a Sync Cord to the Housing  
The Housing Bulkhead is designed to accept only an Ikelite 5-pin TTL  
Sync Cord.  
1. Lightly lubricate the Sync Cord O-ring. Use ONLY Ikelite lubricant  
(supplied with housing).  
2. Remove Bulkhead Cap from Housing Bulkhead.  
3. Line up the Sync Cord Pins with the corresponding Bulkhead  
receptacles. Gently insert Sync Cord into Bulkhead. DO NOT force this  
installation. If the Sync Cord does not seat properly inside the Bulkhead,  
then the pins and receptacles are improperly aligned (repeat Step 3).  
4. Tighten the Knurled Nut snugly using your Index finer and thumb. DO  
NOT use pliers or other tools to tighten the Knurled Nut.  
-
Always remove the  
Sync Cord from your  
Housing when not in

Entering the Water  
As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the housing  
to see that it is properly sealed.  
Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face of the lens 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 photos or video.  
Maintenance  
Lens Port  
Treat the glass or acrylic in the lens port as a camera lens. After use,  
rinse and gently dry the outside lens port to avoid water spotting. To  
clean, use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner. Do not rinse the inside  
port glass. Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.  
Lubricant  
-
Ikelite provides silicone lubricant with the housing. We recommend you use  
only Ikelite lubricant on Ikelite products. Other brands may cause the main  
housing o-ring to swell and not seal properly.  
-
Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the main housing o-ring or  
lubricate a sticky control. 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.  
CAUTION:  
Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can cause  
the plastic housing to crack or o-rings to swell.  
O-ring Storage  
When storing the housing, remove the main housing o-ring. Lightly  
lubricate the o-ring until it appears shiny and place in a small resealable  
plastic bag. Use only Ikelite lubricant. Place the bag inside the housing  
and store until needed.

Housing Maintenance  
Your Ikelite Digital 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.  
-
Do Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged  
periods. Heat may damage the camera.  
-
-
Do Not ship the camera in the housing.  
Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the set screw  
in each control knob. Check each control gland penetrating the housing  
to make sure they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could  
vibrate loose during travel.  
-
Keep the main housing o-ring clean and lightly lubricated. To lubricate,  
remove the o-ring from the back. Put a small amount of lkelite lubricant  
on your fingers. Pull the o-ring through your fingers to apply a thin  
coating of lubricant. Only apply enough lubricant to make the o-ring feel  
slick. Do Not stretch the o-ring. 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.  
-
-
Keep the area where the o-ring fits and the sealing surface of the  
housing clean.  
Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in freshwater after each saltwater  
use. Depress push buttons repeatedly in freshwater to eliminate trapped  
saltwater. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate water spotting.  
After several uses in saltwater, soak the housing exterior in a mild soap  
solution, rinse and dry before storing. When storing the housing, remove  
the back o-ring, lightly lubricate, and place in a plastic bag. Place the  
plastic bag with o-ring inside the housing for safe keeping.  
If removing a housing push button, Do Not re-use the E-clip. Contact  
Ikelite for replacement E-clips (part 0319.12).  
-
-
Leave lid snaps in the open position when not using the housing for  
extended periods.

Control Maintenance  
Ikelite controls are designed to provide years of reliable service with  
minimal maintenance.  
-
Push button controls normally require no maintenance other than rinsing  
in freshwater after saltwater use. Depress each push button in  
freshwater several times to eliminate trapped saltwater. If a push button  
control becomes difficult to push or if it sticks when depressed, soak the  
housing in luke warm freshwater. After a few minutes, operate the push  
button. If this does not correct the problem, return the housing to Ikelite  
for maintenance. If you are on a trip and unable to return the housing  
immediately, a push button may be lubricated by pressing and holding  
the push button all the way in. Then, use your finger or other small  
object to place a small amount of lube at the base of the shaft inside the  
housing. Press and release the push button several times until the lube  
is worked up into the o-ring.  
-
-
Some of the controls have long shafts. These controls can be pulled out,  
exposing the shaft see diagrams B and C - page 19.  
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 constant use.  
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, diagram B - page 19, 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.

Control Maintenance - continued  
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 noting 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.

Photo Tips  
-
The number one rule in underwater photography is to eliminate as much  
water between the camera and subject as possible. Get as close as you  
can to the subject, then use the zoom. If you are using flash for still  
photos, subjects beyond 6 feet (1.8m) will not have much color  
regardless of strobe power.  
-
-
-
Photograph in clear water; do not stir up the sand or silty bottom. If  
backscatter becomes a problem in the environment you are  
photographing, an external flash will help eliminate much of the  
backscatter.  
Many digital cameras have a slight lag time between when you press  
the shutter release button and the camera actually takes the picture.  
Hold the housing steady a second or two after pressing the shutter  
release button.  
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.  
-
-
When using daylight or flash, if your camera consistently over or  
underexposes the image, you may want to adjust your camera’s  
exposure compensation  
settings.  
If you error in exposure, it is better to have the image slightly  
underexposed rather than overexposed. An overexposed image is  
missing color information which cannot be adjusted in a photo  
processing program. A slightly underexposed image has color  
information that can be adjusted.  
-
It is important to respect all living creatures underwater, including  
people, marine life, and coral. While we encourage people to get close  
to their subjects when taking a photograph, they should not touch, lie on,  
or in any way disturb the things they find underwater.

Recommended Accessories  
Tray and Handle(s)  
Add stability and gripping point(s) for comfortable use of the housing  
above and below water. Most tray and handle combinations offset the  
slightly positive buoyancy of the housings. Handles offer attachment  
points for external lighting systems.  
External Strobes  
A separate external strobe adds color to restore the warmer colors  
filtered out by the water as well as to illuminate the subject. Add a  
second strobe to eliminate shadows and evenly light your subjects.  
Video Lighting  
External video lights add color when using the video/movie mode of your  
camera. Primary video lights are specially color balanced to provide  
natural tones.  
WD-4 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome 6430.4  
The removeable WD-4 corrects light refraction underwater,  
restoring the camera’s original angle of coverage. Approximately  
3/4 of the camera's zoom range from the camera’s widest angle  
setting can be used with the dome in place. Slight vignetting may  
occur at camera’s widest angle setting.

EV Manual Controller Use  
Since the housing Conversion Circuitry provides real Canon eTTL flash  
exposure when used with Ikelite DS series Substrobes, an EV Controller  
is not recommended but can be used for manual flash control.  
The EV Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user  
settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash “P”  
or non pre-flash “ P .” Most cameras use a pre-flash. This means the  
EV Controller should be set to the pre-flash “P” position when used with  
this camera as a slave. If a manual mode is used that does not emit a  
pre-flash, set the EV Controller to the non pre-flash “ P ” position.
