- If offered, set AF assist to “OFF.” A strobe focusing light is
recommended to assist AF underwater.
- Set Auto off to “5m” and Sleep mode to “OFF.”
- Insert and format a SD or SDHC memory card.
For more accurate colors, we recommend setting manual white balance
underwater using a white slate or white sandy bottom. Manual white
balance should be reset for each working depth due to color absorption
caused by the water. When adding a UR-Pro color filter, reset manual
white balance.
Note: Enable Macro mode when shooting close-up subjects. If
overexposure occurs, back away from the subject and zoom in. If
overexposure continues, use “-” exposure compensation.

W-20 and W-30 Wide-Angle Conversion Lenses
The front of the lens port accepts the Ikelite 6420 W-20, 6430 W-30, and
other 67mm threaded wide angle or macro lenses without the need for
an adapter. An external wide angle conversion lens increases angle of
coverage so you can get closer to the subject while still fitting everything
in the frame.
Slight to moderate vignetting will occur at widest angle camera lens
setting with these lenses. Zoom in to eliminate, or crop the image in
post processing. OTE: The L27 will not vignette at camera’s widest
angle setting underwater when using the W-30 lens.
Bayonet mount lenses cannot be used with this housing.
