Strobe Compatibility
Ikelite Housing Conversion Circuitry
This small compact digital SLR housing has Ikelite designed and
patented Conversion Circuitry built right in. The Conversion Circuitry
provides real Canon eTTL flash exposure when used with Ikelite DS
series strobes. Once a DS series strobe is attached to the camera
housing, the conversion circuitry is automatically powered after the
strobe is turned on. Once attached, turn the strobe on first before turning
on the camera. The circuitry cannot be powered up or used by
non-Ikelite strobes.
If Manual flash is desired, press the button twice within 2 seconds
and then use manual power settings on the strobe. To go back to TTL,
turn the strobe off and back on; return strobe power switch to TTL.
