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.
