To use a external DS Substrobe requires the EV-Controller. The EV-
Controller has a built-in slave sensor that is triggered by the camera’s
built-in flash which fires the external DS Substrobe. The EV-
Controller provides 10 manual power settings in 1/2 stop increments
for precision lighting.

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. D
Do o N No ot tleave the camera and housing in direct sunlight for
prolonged periods. Heat may damage the camera.
2. D
Do o N No ot tship the camera in the housing.
3. Before using the housing, always check the tightness of the s
se et t
s
sc cr re ew win each control knob.
Check each c
co on nt tr ro ol l g gl la an nd dpenetrating 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. D
Do o N No ot t s st tr re et tc ch h t th he e o o’ ’r ri in ng g.
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 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.

The Lens Port is factory sealed, do not remove.
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 is threaded so that accessory lenses can be
screwed onto the port. The threads are very fine, take care not
to cross thread the lens.
Wide angle lenses are available from Inon, Sea & Sea and
Epoque. These lenses can be screwed onto the lens port above
or below water. These lenses 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. There may be slight vignetting when these wide angle
lenses are installed. Any
vignetting that occurs can
be eliminated by zooming
the camera lens slightly.
To properly light subjects
when using a wide angle
accessory lens an external
strobe should be used.
Due to the wide angle of
coverage of the Inon, Sea
& Sea and Epoque lenses,
the DS125 Substrobe is
recommended or two
DS51 Substrobes.
