If you error in exposure, it is better to have the image slightly
underexposed rather than overexposed. An overexposed image
is missing color information which cannot be adjusted in a photo
processing program. A slightly underexposed image has color
information that can be adjusted.
Setting Up An External Strobe
We recommend attaching an external strobe for the optimal color and
clarity in a wide variety of photographic situations, including daylight
photography. This housing provides a direct electrical connection
to the camera’s external flash hotshoe. An external strobe may be
triggered via electrical sync cord.
About Sync Cords
Attaching a strobe via electrical sync cord provides faster strobe
recycle times as compared to a fiber optic connection, and prolongs
camera battery life.
Strobes from IKELITE, SEA&SEA, INON, and Nikonos must be used
in manual power modes when connected via electrical sync cord.
»
To connect two strobes to the camera, you must use a dual
sync cord.
»
A second slave strobe may be triggered optically off of a
primary strobe connected by sync cord.
TTL Strobe Exposure
Automatic TTL exposure is available with compatible Ikelite DS
strobes and optional TTL conversion circuitry. When a compatible
Ikelite DS-series strobe is attached via sync cord with the optional
TTL circuitry, the strobe communicates directly with the camera to
trigger the strobe and adjust its power for perfect exposure. For TTL
exposure you will need:
