Problem

Solution

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 from a local camera

store. Place one or two packs in your housing
before each day of diving.

- If water droplets or moisture is 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, see page 9.

- Check that the camera flash is firing when taking

a picture. Camera flash should be forced “on.”

- Make sure the deflector is installed when you are

using an external strobe.

- Make sure the diffuser is installed when you are

NOT using an external strobe. Zoom in slightly to
eliminate any dark corners.

- When using an external strobe, make sure it is

turned on, set properly, and it’s battery is charged.

- Change camera shutter speed and/or aperture.
- Move closer to or further away from the subject.
