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 feet ( m) or less the lens port on the
housing blocks a portion of the light from the camera’s built in
flash creating a shadow in the lower left of the photo To
eliminate the shadow zoom the lens between / and / of its
full telephoto range (You can test this above water)
D Deefflleeccttoorr
The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS or DS Substrobe and EV Controller The
deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output

External strobes offer 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 and lenses A strobe such as the DS is ideal
for use with macro and most standard camera lenses up to
mm When an optional wide angle lens is added a strobe such
as the DS is needed as it has a greater angle of coverage A
second external strobe can be added to fill the shadows and
produce more realistic photographs

The Substrobe DS covers the equivalent of a mm lens It is
the ideal choice when using only the camera lens or the camera
lens with a macro accessory lens
D DSS SSuubbssttrroobbee
The Substrobe DS covers the equivalent of an mm lens
degrees (with diffuser) It is the ideal choice when using
accessory wide angle lenses greater than mm

For external flash the DS or DS
can be used with the EV Controller
in slave mode In slave mode the
camera's built in flash is used to
trigger the EV Controller
The EV Controller provides
manual power settings in / stop
increments
