Optional Accessories

Substrobe DS51Package #3944.54

The Substrobe DS51 package includes the Substrobe DS51, theEV Controller and ball socket arms. The EV Controller provides 10 manual power settings in 1/2 stop increments. An external strobe offers several advantages over using the camera’s built-in flash. External strobes move the flash away from the camera lens which helps reduce backscatter. They also expand lighting options to achieve the best lighting for different subjects. A second external digital strobe package can be added to fill the shadows and produce more realistic photographs.

The Substrobe DS51 covers the equivalent of a 28mm lens. It is the ideal choice when using only the camera lens or the camera lens with a macro accessory lens.

If an accessory wide angle lens wider than 28mm is used, the ideal lighting choice is the Substrobe DS125, which covers 100 degrees, or two Substrobe DS51’s can be used.

Maintenance

The Ikelite Digital Housing should be given the same care and attention as your other photographic equipment. In addition to normal maintenance we recommend that the housing be returned to Ikelite periodically to be checked and pressure tested.

1. Do Not leave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.

2. Do Not ship the camera in the housing.set 3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the

screw in each control knob.

Check each control gland penetrating the housing to make sure they are tight. There is a slight chance that either could vibrate loose during travel.

4. Keep the back o’ring clean and lightly lubricated. To lubricate remove the o’ring from the back. Put a small amount of lkelite lubricant on your fingers. Draw the o’ring through your fingers to apply a light coating of lubricant. Only apply enough lubricant to make the o’ring feel slick. Do Not stretch the o’ring. This light coating of lubricant will help to keep the o’ring from drying out and will help to show a dark sealing line when the housing back is properly sealed.

5. Keep the area where the o’ring fits and the sealing surface of the housing clean.

6. Rinse the housing exterior thoroughly in fresh water after each salt water use. Dry with a soft cloth. Dry lens port to eliminate water spotting.

After several uses in salt water soak the housing exterior in a mild soap solution, rinse and dry before storage. When storing the housing, remove the back o’ring, lightly lubricate and place in a plastic bag. Place the plastic bag with o’ring inside the housing for safe keeping.

CAUTION

Never use spray lubricants as the propellant ingredient can 12 cause the plastic housing to crack.
