accessory wide angle lenses
greater than 28mm.

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 spread the port clamp
at the spring end and slide over
the lens port. The white plastic
should be placed in front of the
camera flash. The port clamp
should be pushed back against
the front of the housing.
D Diiffffuusseerr
The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built
in flash. When shooting with the camera’s built-in flash at
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the
housing may block a portion of the light from the camera’s
built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower left of the photo.
If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow.
(You can test this above water)
D Deefflleeccttoorr
The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS51 or DS125 Substrobe and EV Controller. The
deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output.

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse
and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean
use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.
The Lens Port will accept Wide-Angle Adapter #9306.81, which
is required to mount the #6420 Ikelite W-20 Wide-Angle Lens
or other manufacturers (67mm) screw thread style wide-angle
lenses. Bayonet mount adaptor lenses cannot be used due to
extreme vignetting.
The 67mm style lenses can be secured onto the Wide-Angle
Adapter above or below water as they are designed to have
water between the front of the port and the accessory lens.
Make sure no air bubbles are trapped between the port and the
accessory lens. Any vignetting that occurs can be eliminated by
cropping the image in post-processing, or by zooming the
camera lens slightly. Zooming the lens with a Wide Angle
Adaptor attached can cause
the image edges to soften. The
camera's built-in flash cannot
be used with wide angle
lenses. The front of the lenses
are so large they block the
camera's flash. To properly
light subjects when using a
wide angle lens an external
strobe should be used. Due to
the wide-angle of coverage of
these lenses, the DS125
Substrobe is recommended, or
two DS51 Substrobes.

Wide-Angle lenses allow you to capture more of the scene and
get closer to your subject which results in clearer images and
more vivid color. Can be installed or removed underwater for
maximum versatility. (Note: some housings may require an
adapter, see instructions.)
