Troubleshooting
Push buttons or
controls are sticky
and hard to operate - Remove the camera and rinse the closed housing
in fresh water. Vigorously press each push button
in and out several times to release any trapped
saltwater or debris.
- Press a sticky push button all the way in and
place a small amount of lube on the small end of
the push button shaft at it’s base. Release and
operate the push button several times to distribute
the lube.
- If a control is sticky, grab the control knob, pull it
out, and then push back in. If still sticky, see the
Control Maintenance section - pages 23 & 24.
- Return housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.
Problem Solution
Image is over- or
under-exposed - Check that the strobe(s) are firing when taking
a picture.
- When using an external strobe, make sure it is
turned on, set properly, and it’s battery is charged.
- Check any corded connection points.
- Adjust camera shutter speed, aperture, or
exposure compensation.
- Move closer to or further away from the subject.
Water enters the
housing - Remove, clean and properly lubricate the main
housing and port o-rings.
- Look for hairs, dirt, or foreign debris crossing the
o-ring seal.
- Reassemble the housing without a camera
installed and pressure test or take diving.
- Return housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.
