the equivalent of an 18mm

lens or 100 degrees

w/diffuser installed. It is the

ideal choice when using

accessory wide angle lenses

greater than 28mm. It also

features a 1.5 second recycle

time and 225 flashes per full

The SA-100 system #4086.61

with its 1" diameter ball is ideal

underwater. The #9571.3

extended stem mount allows

easy attachment of the EV-

controller or flashlight mount,

and drops right into the release

handle. Aim does not change

when changing the aim of the

strobe. The arm system allows

easy strobe placement from

macro close-up to wide angle

without changing aim of the

Sensor. The complete system

removes with a push of the

handle button.

Diiggiittaall SSttrroobbeess

For the best underwater photographic results, we recommend

adding an external DS-digital strobe and EV-controller, connected

to the housing with a SA-100 Ball/socket arm.
Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm,

even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from

the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the

illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate

backscatter.
When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the DS51 Mode

switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller provides ten

power settings in half-stop increments.

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 area of the photo.

If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow.

(You can test this above water)

D

Deefflleeccttoorr

The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe

such as the DS51 or DS160 Substrobe with an EV Controller. The

deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller

which controls the external DS strobe’s output.

LLeennss PPoorrtt

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. N

NO

OTTEE:: The lens port

contains 67mm external threads to accept 67mm accessory

lenses (see page #13).

Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.
