Congratulations on your kelite purchase. Our products are designed
and built in the USA by kelite for both the professional and amateur.
kelite has decades of experience in the underwater photographic, video,
and lighting market. 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. This housing has been factory water
pressure tested to 200’ (60m). All camera controls are fully functional
through the housing.
Please read this instruction booklet thoroughly before use to have a full
understanding of where each camera control is located, and what
function each control provides. Also, please read your camera manual
thoroughly to fully understand each camera function. f you are new to
underwater photography, be sure to read the Photo Tips section.
Before placing your camera in the housing, it is a good idea to immerse
the closed housing in a bucket or rinse tank to make sure it is watertight.
Due to the power required to operate the camera and LCD screen, start
each dive with a fully charged camera battery.

Position the camera on the tray.
5. Using a coin or screwdriver (preferred), secure the camera with the tray
mounting bolt which threads into the camera’s tripod socket - diagram A.

Closing the Housing
1. Place housing face down in your lap or on flat surface.
2. Check to see that there is an o-ring on
the housing back and that it is clean
and in its proper location.
3. Guide the back into the housing front.
The o-ring should touch the housing
all the way around. There should be
an even gap all the way around
between the housing and the housing
back.
4. Lift the lid snaps so they are extended
and place each lid snap into the
corresponding hook on the housing
back.
5. To close the housing, push down on
the lid snaps until they snap into
place. Lid snaps on opposite sides of
the housing should be closed at the
same time. Be sure they are down far
enough to engage the lock.
Double check - Once the housing is
closed, check the o-ring seal. Check
the gap between the housing back and the housing. t should be even all
the way around the housing.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o-ring. You should see a
darkened area where the o-ring is compressed against the housing
back. f you do not see an even black compression seal all the way
around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and close
the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash
f you are shooting with the camera’s built-in flash and the cameras lens
is set to the widest angle, you may need to zoom the lens slightly or a
dark area may appear in a lower corner of close-up photographs. The
lens port may block some of the light. nstall the Diffuser and zoom in
slightly to eliminate any dark areas noted in your photographs (You can
test this above water). See Diffuser/Deflector nstallation - page 10.
For the best results, we recommend using an external kelite Substrobe.
Zoom Control (lever type only)
After you have used the housing's
zoom control, it must be returned to the
center position to disengage. f the
housing zoom control is pushing the
zoom lever in either direction, you may
not be able to take a picture or access
other functions. This is because the
camera is receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom control.

Turn Camera On
Turn the camera on and operate each of the housing controls to get a
feel for using the camera in the housing.
You are now ready to shoot underwater photos!
Usage
The camera’s built-in flash CANNOT be used with optional Wide-Angle or
Accessory lenses.
ote: To shoot photographs closer than 2 feet (0.6m), we recommend using
an external strobe such as the AF35, DS51, or DS161. An external
strobe can be positioned so nothing blocks the light path between the
strobe and the subject. See Recommended and Related Accessories
pages 19 - 25.

Diffuser Use
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).
Deflector Use
The deflector should be installed when using an kelite external strobe.
The deflector will block and redirect the camera’s flash to the AF35 slave
unit or EV-controller which controls the external strobe’s output.
Remove the diffuser before attempting to install the deflector.
Diffuser/Deflector material
Small hole
Cut-out
Section
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
that is secured around the back of
the housing port, to this hole.
