IKELITE DS160 SUBSTROBE

(cont.)

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing an Ikelite Substrobe. Ikelite brings over 50 years of underwater

photographic and lighting experience to the strobe market. Ikelite Substrobes are

designed and built in the USA by Ikelite to suit both the professional and the amateur

photographer.

The purpose of a strobe is to illuminate the subject and assist the camera in taking vivid

pictures. The Ikelite DS160 Substrobe is equally suited for general and wide-angle

photography, covering up to a full 100° angle with a diffuser.

This strobe is everything you need for stunning photos.

Before using the Ikelite DS160 Substrobe, please read this owner's manual thoroughly

and retain it for future reference. Ikelite recommends becoming familiar with the

features and functions of the Ikelite DS160 Substrobe above water before trying the

camera and strobe in the water. And, if you have not yet done so, it is suggested that you

read your camera's owner's manual as well.

The DS160 Substrobe is compatible with all Ikelite TTL systems and current digital

cameras, as well as all older TTL film cameras including the Nikonos system. A variety of

sync cords, sensors, and TTL adapters are available to connect to almost any camera

system currently on the market.

The DS160 recycles in a quick 1.4 sec from full discharge. When fired at a fractional

power — whether in TTL or manual mode — the strobe recycles virtually instantaneously.

Number of flashes per full charge will increase dramatically in most cases when using in

TTL mode with a compatible camera system. The powerful DS160 is adjustable in 10

half-stop increments for precise control over your exposure when used in manual mode.
