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.

Initial Camera Setup
1. Set SO to 80.
2. Set camera mode dial to “Av” Aperture priority. n Aperture Priority mode
"Av" the shutter speed should automatically go to 1/60 second.
3. Set Flash to “On” (lightning bolt in LCD).
4. For General photography, set aperture to f3.5.
5. For Macro photography, set aperture to f8.0.
6. Set White Balance (AWB) to “Auto.”
7. Set mage Size to “L” and compression to “S” Superfine.
8. Set Metering to “Center-Weighted Average.”
9. n the camera menu set the “ND” Filter to “Cancel.”
NOTES:
TTL Flash is NOT available when camera is in “M” Manual mode. There
is no TTL flash even with Canon's own flash in the camera "M" mode.
Manual power settings can be selected with the multi-control button on
the back of the camera. The strobe should still be left in TTL to take
advantage of this feature.
Leave the housing hotshoe disconnected when using an EV manual
controller. f using an EV controller in “M” Manual mode, set the EV
controller to “non-Pre-flash.”
When multiple exposure (continuous shooting) mode is used, the
external flash will not fire. This is normal and also happens with Canon
external speedlights.

Installing the Camera
1. Pull out on each housing control until it stops. This will get the controls
out of the way for installation of the camera.
2. Remove the back from the housing.
3. The mounting tray for the camera is secured to the housing back.
Position the camera on the tray.
4. Slide the housing Hotshoe Connector into the Camera Hothoe Mount
- page 8, diagram A.
Slide the connector forward until it stops. This
should be done before the camera is secured with the mounting bolt
- page 8, diagram B.
Note: f you are using an EV Controller and NOT hard-wiring your strobes
directly to the housing, leave the housing hotshoe disconnected from the
camera. You will also need to install the Flash Deflector (supplied) over
the back of the housing port to block and deflect the camera flash to the
EV controller.
Opening the Housing
Lid Snaps have a Lock.
To open housing, 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 ha e a lot of
spring tension once they go o er
center, so keep a firm grip on the lid snap.
Lid Snaps may be opened one at a time.

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 abo e water). See Diffuser/Deflector nstallation - page 11.
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.
Note: To shoot photographs closer than 2 feet (0.6m), we recommend using
an external strobe such as the 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.
