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 13 & 14.
- Return housing to Ikelite for routine maintenance.
Problem Solution
Image is over- or
under-exposed, or a
corner of the image
is dark - Check that the camera flash is firing when taking
a picture. Camera flash should be forced “on.”
- Make sure the deflector is installed when you are
using an external strobe.
- Make sure the diffuser is installed when you are
NOT using an external strobe.
- 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 shutter speed and/or aperture.
- Move closer to or further away from the subject.
- Adjust camera exposure compensation .
