Product description

Construction Details
• • Front and back parts are both depth rated to 200'
  • Made by hand in USA from corrosion-resistant polycarbonate and ABS plastic blend
  • White on front, top, sides, and bottom to reflect sunlight and keep camera cool when shooting on or above water's surface
  • Clear acrylic back plate lets you monitor O-ring seal and maintain view of camera's rear controls
  • Open-groove design suspends O-ring in natural position, so it's easier to maintain and you don't have to force it into a channel
  • Housing alone has nearly neutral buoyancy in fresh water; overall buoyancy when shooting depends on choice of lens and port
  • Camera mounting plate enables quick installation and does not need to be removed in order for you to gain battery or memory card access
  • Mounting plate has 1/4"-20 threaded hole on bottom for connection to tripod

Strobe Connection and Operation
• • Use of external strobe highly recommended for color correction and adequate brightness, and will be extremely helpful--if not essential--once you descend further than 15-20' underwater
  • Strobe restores hues that get absorbed by water, so your images are vibrant and accurate
  • Try to stay no more than 3-4' away from subject to preserve natural colors in images
  • Ikelite ICS-5 bulkhead with a manual hot shoe connection enables reliable electrical triggering of optional, external strobes via sync cords
  • Optional # 46070 CT1K Canon TTL Kit (hot shoe and circuitry) will allow for TTL operation with compatible Ikelite DS strobes; non-Ikelite strobes, such as Sea & Sea, Inon, and Nikonos models, will still work in manual mode only
  • All strobes used with camera in this housing require sync cord connection, unless they are additional flash units being triggered as slaves by the hard-wired strobes
  • Exposure compensation can be adjusted using in-camera controls
  • Available sync cords: #4118.1 Single INON / Sea & Sea type, #4118.2 Dual INON / Sea & Sea type, #4116.31 Single Nikonos SB type, and #4116.32 Dual Nikonos SB type
  • Older, non-digital strobes with ICS-5 bulkhead can be used in manual mode with #4103.51 Single or #4103.52 Dual cord
  • Ikelite DS strobes support remote triggering via Optical Slave Converter #4403 or Aquatica's Water Wizard system
  • Flash bulkhead moved to top of housing to keep cords out of the way and reduce strain on them
  • Reliable locking connectors between hot shoe and bulkhead make installation of optional TTL electronics easy, while also allowing you to carry backup parts when traveling

Controls and Handling
• • Ergonomic mechanical controls, including push-buttons, knurled knobs/dials, and levers, afford access to virtually all camera functions
  • Accessible controls include shutter release, start/stop video recording, menu, info, magnify, playback, set, main dial, mode dial, drive mode, AF-ON, zoom, and delete
  • Extra-large, soft touch zoom/focus knob makes fine adjustments easy
  • Shutter and AF-ON levers feature a curved design, and can be elongated with optional #4077.93 Shutter Trigger Extension for increased comfort when using optional right-hand QR grip
  • Push-buttons have been designed to reduce weight and salt buildup
  • Rear of housing has laser-engraved control symbols that won't fade over time
  • Supplied, lightweight, hard-anodized aluminum tray with a left-hand quick-release grip affords improved balance and handling, while offering an attachment point for an optional lighting arm
  • Tray and handle can be removed with ease for travel and storage
  • 1/4"-20 threaded mounting point located front and center, above lens port mount, allowing for attachment of lightweight accessories like focus lights and GoPro action cams
  • If shooting with 2 strobes, you can add optional top handle to make carrying easier
  • Included Supereye Viewfinder provides enhanced view of camera's OVF when seen through dive mask
  • Improve your view to an even greater extent with optional #6890 Straight Magnified Viewfinder or #6891.2 45° Magnified Viewfinder Type 2

Lens Port System
• • Dry Lock (DL) Port System
  • Housing ships without a required lens port, and accepts various interchangeable dome and flat ports for a broad array of zoom, macro, and wide-angle lenses
  • Zoom and focus gears also available
  • Accommodates lenses with large diameters, such as Canon's EF 16-35mm Type II/III and 11-24mm
  • For full compatibility, see Port Chart linked above
  • Provides added security against leaks at the surface--thanks in large part to included vacuum valve for checking watertight integrity before dive
  • #47011 Vacuum Pump with Gauge required in order to remove excess air and actually create a vacuum
  • DL port mount may be removed and replaced by older one to allow you to use standard and modular ports from Ikelite's Four Lock system
  • To have DL port mount re-installed, you will have to send housing back to Ikelite or an authorized dealer for service
