Visual inspections are important. Take the time to visually inspect the system above
water. An improper seal or loose connection can cause a lot of damage. Always check for
leaks once you place the system in the water.

We recommend adding an ALL RISK floater to your homeowner's insurance policy in
the event you damage, flood, or lose your camera or strobe. While the Ikelite Substrobe
has a limited warranty against manufacturing defects, it does not cover customer
neglect.

Add a strobe to illuminate the subject and bring out the subject's true colors. Due
to the loss of color when light passes through water, move in on your subject to
photograph thru as little water as possible. The maximum recommended lighting
distance underwater with aannyy bbrraanndd ssttrroobbee is 1.8m (6'). Selecting a subject at a greater
distance underwater will provide mainly bluish color silhouette type images.
The white diffuser can be secured to the front of the DS200 strobe when softer
lighting or coverage greater than 100° is desired. The diffuser reduces the strobe output
by one full f-stop while increasing the coverage angle to 110°.
For balanced lighting between your subject and the background, meter the available
light and set the camera aperture accordingly. A nnaarrrroow
weerr aappeerrttuurree darkens the
background. A w
wiiddeerr aappeerrttuurree lightens the background. If the exposures are consistently
over or under exposed, an exposure compensation control may be featured on the
TTL/Auto exposure camera that can be adjusted to compensate accordingly.
For more natural looking photos, add a second external strobe to control the
highlights and shadows of your subject. For TTL automatic exposure, both Ikelite strobes
should be connected via dual sync cord whenever possible. If maximum control for
manual exposure is preferred, choose the optional Ikelite EV-Controller #4100.6, which
provides 10-manual power settings in half-stop increments. The EV-Controller can be
triggered using the built-in slave sensor or an optional sync cord can be connected.
Always carry spare batteries. Weak batteries cause many camera and strobe
problems. Prolong the battery life by recharging the NiMH monthly even when not
used. Do not discharge the NiMH completely as this can cause permanent damage.

The DS200 strobe should NOT be continuously fired more than 15 times in rapid
succession. In such instances, allow the DS200 strobe to cool off for at least 10 minutes.
