Ikelite Underwater Housing for Canon PowerShot G12 - Manual (Page 13)

Diffuser Use
The Diffuser should be installed when using the camera flash. When
shooting close-up photographs with the camera flash and at the camera
lens’s widest angle setting, the lens port on the housing can block a
portion of the light from the camera flash. This can result in a shadow in
a lower corner of the frame. Zoom the lens to eliminate any shadow not
eliminated by the Diffuser (You can test this above water).
Deflector Use
The Deflector should be installed when using a slave unit to trigger an
external strobe. The Deflector will block and redirect the camera’s flash
to an EV-controller or other slave unit which controls the external
strobe’s output. Remove the Diffuser before attempting to install the
deflector.

Cut-out
Section
A Diffuser and Deflector are
included with the housing. The
Diffuser is white transparent
plastic. The Deflector is also white
but is not transparent.
To install the Diffuser or Deflector,
push the “Cut-out” Section over the
port and into the port groove until it
stops.
Note the Small Hole. To avoid
losing the Diffuser or Deflector, you
can attach a fishing line or string to
this hole.
