Ikelite DS160 Manuals

Congratulations on your purchase of an Ikelite Digital Camera Housing. Ikelite has over 45 years of experience in the underwater photographic and lighting market. Our products are designed and built in the USA by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur photographer. The clear housing permits instant visual inspection of the camera and all sealing surfaces as well as complete monitoring of controls and camera LCD screens. Ikelite Digital Housings are slightly negative in salt water for stability. This housing has been water pressure tested at the factory to 200’ (60m). Ikelite Digital Housing i n s t r u c t i o n m a n u a l #6140.20 for Canon Powershot A2000 IS 2 3 Front View Shutter Release Lid Snap Playback Menu Display ISO Function/Set Lid Snap Lens Port Back View Lanyard Thumb Rest Zoom Mode Face Select Flash Macro Single Erase Power Opening the Housing 1. Lid Snaps have a Lock. To open, push Lid Snap Lock forward and lift as shown. Keep pressure on the Lid Snap so it does not fly open quickly. Some lid snaps have a lot of spring tension once they go over center, so keep a firm grip on the lid snap. Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time. Installing the Camera 1. Remove the back from the housing. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back. Position the camera on the tray, and using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure it with the mounting bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket. CAUTION: Some camera tripod socket threads are plastic. The mounting tray bolt is metal. Do not cross thread or over tighten as you may damage the camera tripod socket threads. 2. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls out of the way for installing the camera.

If you are new to underwater photography, be sure to read the General and Photo Tips sections. We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly to have a full understanding of where each camera control is located and what function each control provides. Please Read If Using an EV-Controller The EV-Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre- flash or non pre-flash. TThhiiss ccaam meerraa uusseess pprree--ffllaasshh, thus the EV- Controller should be set to the pre-flash position when used with this camera. Initial Camera Setup 1. Set ISO to 80. 2. Set camera to “P” mode 3. Enable macro focus for close-ups, or if pictures are over- exposed. Camera does not stop down in macro mode, so if over- exposure is still present when shooting close-up, move away from the subject and zoom in. 4. Make sure flash is forced “on” Note: Closest focusing distance occurs when zoom setting is lined up with arrow on monitor.
