Initial Camera Settings (before placing camera in housing)
- Insert fully charged battery.
- Insert and format a SD or SDHC memory card.

- Set White Balance to auto “AWB.” If more accurate colors are desired,
we recommend setting manual white balance underwater using a white
slate or white sandy bottom. Manual 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 AF Frame to “Center” and Digital Zoom to “Off.”

A strobe focusing light is recommended to assist AF underwater.

- Set Review image after shooting to “8 Seconds.”
- Set Blink Detection and Grid Lines to “Off.”

Note: Enable Macro mode when shooting close-up subjects. If
overexposure occurs, back away from the subject and zoom in slightly. If
overexposure continues, use “-” exposure compensation.

External Accessory Lenses
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 A2600 will not vignette at camera’s widest
angle setting underwater when using the W-30 lens.
Bayonet mount lenses cannot be used with this housing.
Please visit www.ikelite.com for additional information.
