STROBE USE AND COMPATIBILITY
Strobe Compatibility
Ikelite Housing Conversion Circuitry
Camera Flash and Fiber Optic Use
This small compact housing has Ikelite designed and patented
Conversion Circuitry built right in. The Conversion Circuitry provides
real TTL flash exposure when used with Ikelite DS series strobes. The
Circuitry is automatically activated once a DS series strobe is attached
to the housing and 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.
AF35 .................. no
DS50 .................. yes, above serial number 70,000
DS51 .................. yes
DS125................. yes, above serial number 5000
DS160, DS161.... yes
DS200................. yes
Non-Ikelite .......... yes, manual flash exposure only
The camera flash can be extended and used to trigger external
strobes connected to the Fiber Optic Ports on the housing front - see
diagram, page 6.
Note: DO NOT attempt to take underwater photographs using ONLY
the camera flash. This will result in images containing dark spots since
the flash is partially blocked by the Lens and Fiber Optic Ports.
