A diffuser and deflector are
included with the housing. The
diffuser is white transparent
plastic. The deflector is also
white but is not transparent.
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.
D D i i f f f f u u s s e e r r
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 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 1 /3 and 1 /2 of its
full telephoto range. (You can test this above water)
D D e e f f l l e e c c t t o o r r
The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS51 or DS1 25 Substrobe and the EV Controller. The
deflector will redirect the camera's flash to the EV Controller
which controls the external strobes output.

This housing has Conversion Circuitry built into the housing.
When used with current model Ikelite DS Substrobes the
Conversion Circuitry provides Nikon iTTL flash exposure. In the
TTL mode the camera controls the light output of the external
strobe(s) to obtain properly exposed images. The Conversion
Circuitry is powered by the Ikelite DS Substrobe when
connected to the housing with the #41 03.51 single or #41 03.52
dual sync cords with a blue band. See page 1 1 for DS Substrobe
compatibility with Conversion Circuitry.

Any Ikelite DS Substrobe(s) can be used in the manual mode
when connected with the #41 03.51 single or #41 03.52 dual sync
cord with a blue band. In the manual mode different power
settings on the DS Substrobe can be selected to obtain a
properly exposed image.
