USING THE DIFFUSER

The white diffuser can be secured to the front of the DS51 strobe when softer lighting
or a coverage angle of up to 80° is desired.
The diffuser reduces the DS51 light intensity by one full f-stop.
For the TTL/auto mode example with an ISO rating of 100, if you set your camera to f-8
without the diffuser, you can shoot subjects up to 1.2m (4') away. If you add the diffuser to
the strobe with the camera set at f-8 and using ISO 100, you must reference one number
greater than f-8 in the chart. In this case, that number is f-11, which means you can shoot
subjects up to 0.6m (2') away.

DIFFUSER INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

1. The white diffuser features two protruding tabs for use in installation and
removal. The tabs on the diffuser should be positioned away from the strobe.
2. Place the diffuser over the front of the strobe. Spread the two tabs apart, insert
the diffuser into the recessed front, and then rotate the diffuser until it locks
into position.
3. To remove the diffuser, bend one tab out towards the edge while lifting
simultaneously.
A lanyard or string can be attached to the diffuser by threading it through the
two circular openings near its edge. Attach the other end to the strobe arm to
prevent accidental loss.
