STEP 7 - Installing Camera in Housing

1. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls

out of the way for installation of the camera. Make sure the Movie
Button knob is pulled out and the control is facing toward the bottom of
the housing.

2. Remove camera lanyard from camera if attached.

3. Place the Housing Front face down in your lap.

4. Gently guide the Housing Back with camera attached into the Housing
Front at a slight angle so the Aperture Ring Gear and Housing Gear
engage properly. Visually check to see that the Gears are properly
engaged and test their function.

STEP 8 - Closing the Housing

1. Once the back is properly
installed, the o-ring should touch
the housing all the way around.
There should be an even gap on
each side of the housing between
the housing and the back.

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

3. To close the housing, push down on
the opposing lid snaps simultaneously
until they snap into place. Be sure
they are down far enough to engage

STEP 9 - Final Housing 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 ft (60 m).

Once the housing is closed, recheck the o-ring seal. Double 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 or solid black line 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.

Ikelite Housing Conversion Circuitry

This small compact housing has Ikelite designed and patented
Conversion Circuitry built right in. The Conversion Circuitry provides real
TTL flash exposure when used with Ikelite DS series strobes. Once a
DS series strobe is attached to the External Strobe Connector, the
conversion circuitry is automatically powered after the strobe is turned
on. Once attached, turn the strobe on first before turning on the camera.
The circuitry cannot be powered up or used by non-Ikelite strobes,
however, non-Ikelite strobes can be fired manually with the correct cord.

Attaching a Sync Cord to the Housing -

The Housing Bulkhead Connector is designed to accept sync cords with
Ikelite 5 pin connector fittings.

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 finger and thumb. DO
NOT use pliers or other tools to tighten the Knurled Nut.

Diagram E, Page 15

- Always remove the Sync Cord from your Housing when not in use and
replace the Bulkhead Cap.

Entering the Water

As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check to see that
the housing is properly sealed. We recommend you first water test the
housing with no camera inside to assure a safe and watertight
environment.
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.

Recommended Accessories

External Color Correcting UR/Pro Filters

(Blue Water or Green Water)

Color filters such as the UR-Pro Filter replace
some of the reds, oranges and more natural
tones that would otherwise be lost underwater.
Effective in relatively shallow, sunny conditions,
and available for tropical blue water and green
water settings. For optimum results use in
combination with custom (manual) white
balance.
For available light use only. Not recommended
when using external strobes.

WD-4 Wide-Angle Conversion Dome 6430.4

UR-Pro Filter

Lens Port

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.

and Epoque. NOT for use with 67mm threaded wide-angle lenses.
Note: Other than the 6430.4 and 9306.82, no other accessory lenses or
adaptors can be used with this housing.

Tray + Dual Handles 9523.64

Add stability and gripping point(s) for comfortable use of the housing.
Add a second strobe to eliminate shadows and evenly light your
subjects.

DS161 Strobe, Sync Cord + Ball Arm Mark II Kit

The Panasonic LX100 camera does not feature a built-in flash. We
recommend a DS161 Strobe Kit to combine power with wide angle
coverage to adequately light your subjects. The DS161 quality of light is
exceptional due to a round flash tube and custom powder coated
reflector designed specifically to deliver the softest, most even coverage
possible. Add a second DS161 to eliminate shadows and provide
balanced lighting.

Video Lighting

External video lights such as the 2101 Vega Video + Photo Light add
color when using the video/movie mode of your camera. Primary video
lights are specially color balanced to provide natural tones.

recommended accessories for your housing.

17

Maintenance

Lens Port

Treat the glass 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. It is NOT necessary to remove the
Port for cleaning. Do not rinse inside the Port.

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.

18

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.

19

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
non-metal 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.

After completing this procedure, close
the housing and submerge it in water
without the camera i nside. Check the
control for watertightness.

Control Maintenance -

continued

In the unlikely event one of the larger gland style control shafts 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 H, 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, 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.
After completing this procedure, close the housing and submerge it in
water without the camera inside. Check the control for watertightness.

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 ft (1.8 m) 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 or flash exp. comp. 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.

22

Troubleshooting

Problem

Push buttons or
controls are sticky or
hard to operate

Solution

- Remove the camera and rinse the closed housing
in freshwater. Vigorously press each push button
in and out several times to release any trapped
saltwater or debris.

- Press a sticky push button all the way in and
place a small amount of lube on the small end of
the push button shaft at it’s base. Release and
operate the push button several times to distribute
the lube, Diagram G, Page 20.

- If a larger gland style control is sticky, grab the

control knob, pull it out, and then push back in. If
still sticky, see the Control Maintenance section,

Image is
over/underexposed,
or a corner of the
image is dark

Diagram H, Page 21.

- Return housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.

- When using an external strobe, make sure it is
turned on, set properly, and its battery is charged.

- Check all corded connection points.

- Change camera shutter speed or aperture.

- Move closer to or further away from the subject.

- Adjust Flash Exposure Compensation .

23

Problem

Solution

Camera does not
take a picture

Housing is hard to
close

- Install a fully charged battery.

- There is not enough available light for the camera
to properly focus. Add a focusing light, or strobe
with a built-in focusing or video light, to your

system.

- Select a center focus point in your camera menu.

- Return Zoom control to the “disengaged” position,
see Zoom Control, Page 25.

- Make sure the camera is mounted properly in the
housing and controls are out of the way.

- Main housing o-ring is not seated properly.

- Aperture Ring Gear is not engaging housing gear
properly.

Fogging occurs on
the Lens Port

- Humid air is trapped inside the housing.
The camera produces heat and may condense
any trapped moisture forming fog on the lens port.
Close the housing in an air-conditioned room or
vehicle, or in front of an air-conditioner.

- The housing should not be in direct sunlight for an
extended period of time.

- Purchase desiccant packs also known as
moisture munchers from a local camera store.
Place one or two new packs in your housing
before each day of diving.

- If moisture or water droplets are present around
the controls or sealing areas, return the housing
to Ikelite for evaluation.

- Clean the main housing o-ring and sealing
surface of the housing.

24

Problem

Solution

Water enters the
housing

Pictures are too blue
or too green

- Remove, clean and properly lubricate the main
o-ring.

- Look for hair, dirt, or foreign debris crossing the
o-ring seal.

- Reassemble the housing without a camera
installed and immerse in water.

- Return housing to Ikelite for evaluation.

- Use custom (manual) white balance. Reset for
each working depth or when attaching a
color correcting filter to the camera lens.

- Add an external strobe.

- Move in closer to your subject when taking a
picture.

- Add an optional color correcting filter to the
Housing Port.

Zoom Control

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
engaged zoom control.
