We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly to have a full understanding of where each camera control is located and what function each control provides.

Please Read If Using an EV-Controller

The EV-Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash or non pre-flash. This camera uses pre-flash, thus the EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash position when used with this camera.

The camera does not emit a pre-flash when used in the “M” manual mode. If using the “M” manual mode, set the EV-controller to non-pre-flash.

Initial Camera Setup 1. Set ISO to 80.

2. Set camera to “A” Aperture priority.

3. Raise the camera flash to it’s open or “UP” position.

4. Set Flash to forced “On” (lightning bolt in LCD).

5. In the Flash Control Menu > Flash Settings > Flash Mode > Auto, should be the setting, which is also the default setting.

5. For Macro photography, set aperture to f7.1 or8.0.

6. Set White Balance to “Auto”.

7. Set Image Quality to “Superfine” and Large “L”.

8. Set Metering to “Center Weighted Avg.”.

NOTE: Make sure that the camera flash is in the “up” or “raised” position before closing your housing with the camaera inside.
