Setting Up An External Strobe

We recommend attaching an external strobe for the optimal color

and clarity in a wide variety of shooting situations, including daylight

photography. An external strobe must be triggered via electrical sync

cord. The LX100 camera does not have built-in flash for the triggering

of a fiber optic strobe.

When a compatible Ikelite DS strobe is attached via sync cord,

circuitry built into the housing allows the strobe to communicate

directly with the camera to trigger the strobe and adjust its power for

perfect exposure.

All Ikelite DS strobes are capable of providing TTL operation with this

system except:

•

DS125 strobes below serial number 5000

•

DS51 strobes below serial number 70000

•

DS200 strobes below serial number 7163

For TTL operation, the strobe must be set to TTL.

Strobes from SEA&SEA, INON, and Nikonos attached by electrical

sync cord are not capable of powering the TTL circuitry built into this

housing. These strobes must be used in manual power modes when

connected via electrical sync cord.

A bulkhead cap or sync cord must be attached to the housing for

waterproof operation. Never submerge the housing without either

a sync cord or waterproof bulkhead cap attached.

1. Remove the bulkhead cap.

2. Lightly lubricate the sync cord o-rings. We recommend using only

Ikelite silicone lubricant to eliminate the possibility of swelling due to

incompatible compounds.
