Visual inspections are important Take the time to examine the entire assembled
setup (strobe camera housing arms etc ) above water An improper seal or loose
connection can cause a lot of damage Always check for leaks once you place the
equipment in the water

It is recommended that you add an a a l l l l r r i i s s k k f f l l o o a a t t e e r r to your homeowner's and/or
renter's insurance policy to cover your equipment against loss or damage While the
Ikelite DS Substrobe has a limited warranty against manufacturing defects it does
not cover customer neglect

• Photograph through as little water as possible; move in close Maximum
recommended shooting distance underwater is
• Use the diffuser for softer lighting or a coverage angle between
• Measure the light with a meter and set the camera aperture accordingly
Remember: a narrower aperture darkens the background; a wider aperture
lightens it TTL/auto exposure controls on some cameras can be set to adjust
the aperture automatically
• More natural looking photos can be achieved through the addition of a second
external strobe The Ikelite EV Manual Controller

• Always carry spare batteries Weak batteries are the cause of many strobe and
camera problems; check the voltage with a meter N N o o t t e e : : it's possible to buy bad
"new" batteries
• D D o o n n o o t t fire the strobe more than
allow the DS

lubricants can cause the Ikelite o rings to swell in size

• Ikelite brand silicone lubricant is provided for the sync cord stem o ring and the
bulkhead connector threads Use only enough lubricant to lightly cover the area
