Strobe Use; Deflector Installation And Removal - Ikelite 6184.99 Instruction Manual

Strobe Use

The optional AF35 strobe triggers and provides automatic TTL exposure
by watching the camera's built-in flash, without the need of fiber optic
cords or sensors. Alternatively, two ports are provided on the front of the
housing for the connection of up to two Ikelite, SEA&SEA, or Olympus
type fiber optic cords.
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's
built-in flash is used. The built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet
(0.3-0.9 m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results, a color
correcting filter or external lighting is recommended. External lighting is
more powerful and can be placed in a position to virtually eliminate the
backscatter or "snow" from your underwater images.
Always install the Flash Deflector when using external strobes, page 13.

Deflector Installation and Removal

The factory installed flash Deflector should be removed and replaced by
the Diffuser, page 14, when using ONLY the built-in camera flash and no
external strobes. To remove, lift the bottom of the Deflector with your
thumb, or a Pen or Pencil tip to loosen and pull the Deflector away from
the inside front of the housing. To install, line up the corresponding
Velcro dots on the housing front with the Deflector Back and press the
Deflector into its factory installed position next to the lens port. If
positioned properly, the small deflector holes will line up with the Fiber
Optic Port holes.
