Flash Deflector
A flash deflector (supplied) can be installed over the back of the housing port next to the housing exterior. The deflector will deflect the camera flash when using an EV Manual Controller. The deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller which controls the external strobe output. To attach, push the deflector over the back of the housing port, until the deflector clips into position, blocking the camera flash.
NOTE: The deflector is not needed when an Ikelite DS digital strobe is connected
Using External Strobes
For the best photographic results underwater, we recommend using Ikelite External Strobes. This housing has Conversion Circuitry built into the housing back, eliminating the need for an EV Controller. The Conversion Circuitry provides real Canon TTL flash when used with an Ikelite DS Digital substrobe(s) and the #4103.51single or #4103.52 dual sync cord, connected directly to the housing.
See page 13 for DS Substrobe compatibility with the Conversion Circuitry.
