Closing The Housing; Setting Up An External Strobe - Ikelite 6171.11 Manual

The hotshoe must be all the way forward in the camera mount
»
for proper flash operation.
Do not attach the hotshoe if using a strobe connected by fiber
»
optic cord. Connecting the hotshoe will disable the camera's
built-in flash.

Closing the Housing

1. Make sure the o-ring is clean and in its proper location on the back
of the housing. The main o-ring does not require lubricant to make
a seal.
2. Place the back onto the housing front.
3. Make sure no controls or wires are interfering with the o-ring or the
back of the housing.
4. Place each lid snap into the corresponding hook on the housing
back.
5. Push the lid snaps towards the housing until they are flat against
the housing and the lock has engaged. Close both lid snaps at the
same time.
6. Check the o-ring seal. The o-ring should form a uniform, solid line
around the back of the housing.
7. Check control functions.

Setting Up An External Strobe

We recommend attaching an external strobe for the optimal color and
clarity in a wide variety of photographic situations, including daylight
photography.
This housing provides a direct electrical connection to the camera's
external flash hotshoe via a manual flash hotshoe. An external strobe
may be triggered via electrical sync cord.
