Using Flash

The camera’s internal flash is blocked by the housing port. Do not use the internal flash unless the Flash Deflector is installed and you are using an external strobe.

installed over the

Controller. The

deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller which controls the external strobe output. To attach, push the deflector over the back of the housing port until the deflector clips into position, blocking the camera flash.

Using Ikelite DS Digital Strobes

Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm, even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate backscatter. When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the DS51Mode switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller provides ten power settings in half-stop increments.

DS Substrobes has two user settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for pre-flash “P” or non pre-flash ”P”. This camera uses pre-flash, (except in manual mode), thus the EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash “P” position when used with this camera as a slave. If manual mode is desired, set the EV-controller to the non-pre-flash “P” position.
