Ikelite Underwater Housing for Canon PowerShot G12 - Manual (Page 11)

Closing the Housing
1. Place housing face down in your lap or on a
flat surface.
2. Check to see that there is an o-ring on the
housing back and that it is clean and in its
proper location.
3. Guide the back into the housing front. The
o-ring should touch the housing all the way
around. There should be an even gap all
the way around between the housing and
the housing back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended and
place each lid snap into the corresponding
hook on the housing back.
5. To close the housing, push down on the lid
snaps until they snap into place. Lid snaps
on opposite sides of the housing should be
closed at the same time. Be sure they are
down far enough to engage the lock.

Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash
If you are shooting with the camera’s built-in flash and the cameras lens
is set to the widest angle, you may need to zoom the lens slightly or a
dark area may appear in a lower corner of close-up photographs. The
lens port may block some of the light. Install the Diffuser and zoom in
slightly to eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs (You can
test this above water). See Diffuser/Deflector Installation - page 13.
For the best results, we recommend using an external Ikelite Substrobe.
The camera’s built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or
Accessory lenses.
