Manual Focusing

Ikelite DSLR housings are designed for auto-focus DSLR cameras and
lenses. Manual focusing is not recommended. In some cases, if you
desire to manually focus a lens, the zoom clamp must be moved onto
the lens Manual Focus Ring and you must use the housing zoom control
knob to manually focus. This will result in loss of zoom capability.

Installing Zoom Clamp/Sleeve on Type 2 Lenses

- continued

Before installing the lens port and checking operation, make sure the
teeth on the Gear Sleeve mesh with the teeth on the housing Drive Gear,
shown below. When the port is installed, pages 19 & 20, it will lock the
Gear Sleeve in place. After installing the port, rotate the housing Zoom
Control Knob to see that the Gear Sleeve is properly rotating the Lens
Zoom ring.
