Initial Camera Settings (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.
- Slide Mode Switch to icon.
- In FUNC./SET MENU:
Set Rec./Shooting Mode to “P” Program. We recommend this setting for underwater use to provide more creative control over the camera settings (e.g. ISO, white balance, metering, etc.). Set Drive Mode to “Single Shot” and Still Image Aspect Ratio to “4:3.” Set Image Recording Size to “L” 20M and Quality to “S” Superfine. Set Movie Quality to “HD” or “FHD.” Set Light Metering to “ Center Weighted Avg.” Set White Balance to Auto “AWB.” Always use auto white balance (AWB) when using a strobe/flash. When recording video, AWB can still be used, but for more accurate and consistent colors we recommend setting “Custom White Balance ”. Set ISO to “200.”
- In MENU Shooting Settings:
Set AF Frame to “Center” and Frame Size to “Normal.” Set Digital Zoom, AF-Point Zoom and Servo AF to “Off.” Set Continuous AF to “On.” A strobe focusing light is recommended to assist AF underwater. Set AF-assist Beam to “Off.” In Flash Settings, set Red-Eye Lamp and Red-Eye Corr. to “Off.” Set i-contrast to “Auto.” Set Review Image after shooting to “8 Seconds.” Set Blink Detection and Grid Lines to “Off.” Set IS Mode to “Continuous.”
- In MENU Camera Settings:
Set Date/Time and Time Zone. Set Lens Retraction to “1 min.” Set Eco Mode to “Off.”

Initial Camera Settings - continued
In Power Saving, set Auto Power Down to “Off”; Display Off to “3 min.” Insert and Format a memory card.
- Set Flash to “On Flash always fires.”
- Enable Macro mode when shooting very close subjects. If overexposure occurs, back away from the subject and zoom in, and/or use “-” exposure compensation.
To offer better ergonomics and easier access to the shutter button, a control was not included for the Mode Switch on top of the camera. Therefore, it is recommended to preset the Mode Switch to the " " position before installing the camera in the housing. Photos can still be taken if you accidentally leave it in one of the other two non-recommended positions, however they are not ideal for underwater
Camera functions not mentioned should be set to user’s desired setting.
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. 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.
