Ttl Strobe Compatibility; Attaching An Electrical Sync Cord - Ikelite 6171.11 Manual

TTL Strobe Compatibility

When compatible Ikelite DS strobe(s) are attached by electrical sync
cord, the TTL circuitry built into the housing allows the camera to
communicate directly with the attached strobe(s). The camera triggers
the strobe(s) and adjusts the strobe(s) power automatically for perfect
exposure.
The following strobes are TTL compatible with this housing:
•
Ikelite DS50 above serial # 70000
•
Ikelite DS51
•
Ikelite DS125 above serial # 5000
•
Ikelite DS160, DS161
•
Ikelite DS200 above serial # 7163
Flash exposure compensation may be added or subtracted using the
camera's menu settings. Due to the camera's pre-flash sequence,
manual full power setting cannot be used when a DS strobe is
attached by fiber optic sync cord.
Strobes from SEA&SEA, INON, and other manufacturers may be
attached by electrical sync cord for faster shooting and extended
battery life compared to fiber optic triggering. These strobes are not
capable of powering the TTL circuitry built into this housing. Non-
Ikelite strobes must be used in manual power modes when connected
by electrical sync cord.

Attaching an Electrical Sync Cord

1. Remove connector protectors and bulkhead caps from each
connection.
