I have an ikelite housing for an older canon 350d I'm learning on. The button that engages the av button isn't engaging the button on the camera, so I'm not able to use manual mode. Is there a way to adjust the part that sets the engagement for the shaft so that it engages the button on the camera? It looks like it needs to rotate 10-15 degrees clockwise to hit the button. Pictures to help explain...
The lever doesn't engage the at button. To shoot manual I have to be able to hold that button down to adjust aperture size. I'm using flashes and this camera doesn't interface with the ikelite well so it shoots as though there is not flash, so I have to adjust manually to get any shots
There is no way to adjust the shaft. It is one piece. I've removed the spring and holder for this shot
With the shaft out (this is the "wet side" of the housing). I don't see any way to adjust the nut or the black piece. The knob that attaches to the shaft has two tabs that follow the valleys, but I don't see any way to adjust. The shaft has a flat cut that interfaces with the knob, so I can't adjust that either.
Is there a trick to adjust this, and can it be safely done at home?
