A diffuser and deflector are
included with the housing.
The diffuser is white
transparent plastic. The
deflector is also white but
is not transparent and has
a decal on the front.
To install the diffuser or
deflector spread the port
clamp at the spring end
and slide over the lens port.
The white plastic should be
placed in front of the
camera flash. The port
clamp should be pushed
back against the front of the housing.

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built in
flash. When shooting with the camera’s built-in flash at
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the
housing may block a portion of the light from the camera’s
built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower left of the photo.
If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow.
(You can test this above water)

The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS51 or DS125 Substrobe and EV Controller. The
deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output.

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 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.

The Substrobe DS51 package includes
the Substrobe DS51, the EV
Controller and ball socket arms. The
EV Controller provides 10 manual
power settings in 1/2 stop
increments. An external strobe
offers several advantages over using
the camera’s built-in flash. External
strobes move the flash away from
the camera lens which helps reduce
backscatter. They also expand
lighting options to achieve the best
lighting for different subjects. A
second external digital strobe
package can be added to fill the
shadows and produce more realistic
photographs.
The Substrobe DS51 covers the
equivalent of a 28mm lens. It is the
ideal choice when using only the
camera lens or the camera lens with
a macro accessory lens.
If an accessory wide angle lens wider
than 28mm is used, the ideal
lighting choice is the Substrobe
DS125, which covers 100 degrees, or
two Substrobe DS51’s can be used.
