Ikelite L2, L3 Using Flash Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash, Diffuser & Deflector Installation

Using Flash

Using the Camera’s Built-in Flash.

If you do not have an external flash the camera’s built-in flash can be used. See Diffuser instructions.

Diffuser & Deflector Installation

Diffuser

	Housing shown with
8	Diffuser installed.

Lens Port

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.

Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.

The Lens Port will accept (2) Wide-Angle Adapters. The Wide-
Angle Adapter #9306.80 which is required to mount the Inon
UWL-150AD Bayonet style wide-angle lens. The Wide-Angle
Adapter 9306.81 is required to mount the following Wide-Angle
Lenses, Inon UWL-100, Sea&Sea #58070 and Ep0que DCL-20
screw thread (67mm) style wide-angle lenses.
These lenses can be secured onto the Wide-Angle Adapter
above or below water as they are designed to have water
between the front of the port and the accessory lens. Make sure
no air bubbles are trapped between the port and the accessory
lens. Any vignetting that occurs can be eliminated by zooming
the camera lens slightly. The camera’s built-in flash cannot be
used with wide angle
lenses. The front of the	Wide-Angle Adapter
lenses are so large they	Wide-Angle Lens
block the camera’s flash.
To properly light subjects
when using a wide angle
lens an external strobe
should be used. Due to
the wide-angle of
coverage of these lenses,
the DS125 Substrobe is
recommended or two
DS51 Substrobes.

Diffuser and Deflector cont.	Diffuser/Deflector material
A diffuser and deflector are
included with the housing. The
diffuser is white transparent
plastic. The deflector is also
white but is not transparent
and has a decal on the front.
To install the diffuser or	Port Clamp
deflector spread the port clamp
at the spring end and slide over		Spring
the lens port. The white plastic
should be placed in front of the
camera flash. The port clamp
should be pushed back against
	Spread to Install
the front of the housing.

Diffuser

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built in flash. When shooting with the camera’s built-in flash at approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the housing may block a portion of the light from the camera’s built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower left of the photo. If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow. (You can test this above water)

Deflector

The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe such as the DS51 or DS125 Substrobe and EV Controller. The deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller which controls the external strobes output.
