Using External Strobes

This housing has Conversion Circuitry built into the housing. When used with Ikelite DS Substrobes the Conversion Circuitry provides real Nikon iTTL flash exposure with over and under- exposure compensation from +1 1/3 to - 1/3 f-stops in 1/3 stop increments.

Port Seal Inside View

If the port is installed before the camera is inserted into the housing, look on the inside of the housings at the port seal. Check to see that the o’ring is properly sealed as shown in figure 1 andnot extruded as shown in figure 2.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

NOTE: Flash Exposure Compensation set in the camera will be added or subtracted from the compensation set on the housing conversion circuitry in iTTL.

NOTE: Balanced Fill Flash cannot be used.

Do not use red-eye reduction setting.

Note: When Using a DS-200 Substrobe

In Custom Setting E1: flash sync speed setting use a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second or slower.

Caution:

After installing the port, turnthe Zoom Control knob on the housing. If the Zoom Control is difficult to turn, the gear sleeve may be warped. If so reduce or omit any rubber installed on the Zoom Clamp. (Fig.H on pg.11). If the Zoom Clamp is still warped, use of the #5509.28package may be required. (See page 7)

The Conversion Circuitry also offers Manual exposure control with 3 1/2 f-stops of under-exposure control in 1/2 stop increments.

The Conversion Circuitry is powered by the Ikelite DS Substrobe when connected to the housing with the #4103.51 single or #4103.52dual sync cord.

See page 12 for DS Substrobe compatibility with the Conversion Circuitry.
