This product has been water pressure tested at the factory and is depth
rated to 200 ft. (60 m). Thoroughly inspect and immerse the empty
housing completely in water before installing a camera. If any fogging
occurs or droplets of water enter the housing, do not install a camera.
Clean the housing main o-ring and retest to make sure that it is
watertight. Refer to the Troubleshooting section, page 23.
We suggest that you 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. Please read your camera
manual thoroughly to have a full understanding of each camera function.
If you are new to underwater photography, be sure to read the Photo
Tips section.
Due to the power required to operate the camera and LCD screen, start
each dive with a fully charged camera battery.
Preparation
Attach External “Tray with Handles” to Housing
Use hardware and instructions
located in the clear Ikelite bag to
attach the “Tray with Handles” to
your Ikelite housing.

Initial Camera Setup (before placing camera in housing)
- Insert a fully charged battery.
- Insert a high capacity SD or Compact lash memory card.
- Set the Shooting Mode to “A” Aperture or “M” manual for shutter speeds
faster than 1/60th second.
- Set Time Zone and Date.
- Set ISO sensitivity to “200” and Meter to “Center-weighted.”
- In “M” Manual, set shutter speed to 1/60th second or 1/125th second for
fast moving subjects. Maximum shutter speed of 1/250th second
recommended to allow full power flashes from strobes.
- Set aperture to 8 for general photography or 22 for close-ups.
- Set Image Quality to “JPEG fine.”
- Set Active D-Lighting, HDR, Auto Distortion, and Long Exposure to “Off.”
- Set Multiple exposure and Interval timer shooting to “Off.”
- Set ocus mode to “A -S.”
- Set White Balance to “Auto1.” Use Preset Manual for best results and
reset for each working depth.
- In Custom Shooting menu bank A, set A -assist illuminator to “Off.”
- Make sure Red-Eye Reduction is “Off.”
* These initial camera settings are a good starting point for shooting most
underwater photos. Adjustments may be needed based on the shooting
environment and lighting conditions . Camera functions not mentioned
should be set to the shooters preference.
On the housing back is a switch
for setting the DS Strobe ID. Set
the switch to the Model of DS
Strobe being used.
When using dual strobes of
different models such as a
DS51 and a DS161, set the ID
switch to DS51 or the smaller
strobe.

Housing Conversion Circuitry
This housing contains Ikelite designed and patented Conversion
Circuitry. Once attached, turn the strobe on first before turning on the
camera.
When used with Ikelite DS Strobes the Conversion Circuitry provides
real Nikon iTTL flash exposure with over and underexposure
compensation from +1 1/3 to - 1 1/3 f-stops in 1/3 stop increments.
The Conversion Circuitry also offers Manual exposure control with 3 1/2
f-stops of underexposure control in 1/2 stop increments.
The Conversion Circuitry is powered by the Ikelite DS Strobe when
connected to the housing with the 4103.51 single or 4103.52 dual sync
cord. When using two strobes with the dual sync cord, the primary
strobe connected to the cord without the red band, must be turned on to
power the Conversion Circuitry. Always keep both strobes connected to
your dual sync cord underwater. Do not exchange your secondary
strobe for a dust cap which may not be waterproof.
Using the Conversion Circuitry (Set DS Strobe to TTL mode)
-Mode and Compensation Dial (see illustration below)
Note that the TTL compensation values are located in the yellow band.
Manual compensation values are located in the black band. Rotate the
Dial to switch between TTL and Manual Modes.
-TTL Mode compensation values are indicated in the yellow band. Place
the Setting Indicator to TTL for N Compensation. Rotate the Dial either
direction to select +/- compensation. Place the Setting Indicator to the
desired compensation value. Note that in TTL, compensation values are
in 1/3 f-stops.
-Manual Mode compensation values are indicated in the black band.
Rotate the Dial to place the Setting Indicator to the desired compensation
value. Note that in Manual Mode, compensation values are in 1/2 f-stops
from ( ) full power to -3 f-stops.
Set DS Strobe to TTL mode. This will allow the strobe power to be
varied in manual mode.

Using Non-Ikelite or Ikelite Non-DS Strobes (Strobe 50,
100A, 200, 400) with this Housing
The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used with a
Non-Ikelite or Non-DS Strobe. These Strobes can be used in their manual
mode utilizing any power settings provided on the Strobe.

DS50 and DS125 Strobe Compatibility
- Older DS50 Strobes with Serial Number below 63,850 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS50 Strobes with Serial Number between 63,850 and 69,999
require upgrade of electronics to operate. Strobe must be returned to
Ikelite for evaluation to provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
- Older DS125 Strobes with Serial Number below 2,500 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS125 Strobes with Serial Number between 2,500 and 4,999
require upgrade of electronics to operate. Strobe must be returned to
Ikelite for evaluation to provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
Attaching the Flash Connection for External Strobes
When using an external
strobe, connect the
housing hotshoe connector.
Slide the connector into the
hotshoe mount on the
camera from the back of
the camera as shown.
Slide the connector forward
until it stops. Due to limited
clearance between the
camera hotshoe mount and
the housing back, the
hotshoe connector should
be attached before the
camera is secured with the
mounting bolt. N TE: The camera’s built-in flash is not accessible in the
housing.
