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 the shadow
(You can test this above water).
The deflector should be installed when using an Ikelite external strobe.
The deflector will block and redirect the camera flash to the AF35 slave
unit or an EV Controller which controls the external strobe output.

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” 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.
