This clear molded polycarbonate housing provides
durability and corrosion-free performance up to depths of 200'
(60m). A clear view of the main o-ring seal gives assurance that
the system is safely sealed.
The included flash diffuser provides softer and more even illumination
when using the camera's built-in flash. A flash deflector is
also provided for use with an optically triggered slave strobe.
The housing's lens port accepts optional 3.0" diameter
color filters for color correction using available light in tropical
or green water settings. The port also accepts the accessory
Ikelite W-20 and similar 67mm threaded wide-angle or macro conversion
lenses from Inon and Epoque.
For the best results, the addition of an optional external "DS" Substrobe
is recommended. A more powerful flash positioned at a distance
from the camera's lens helps to eliminate backscatter (the illumination
of particles in the water) for cleaner, crisper images.
All Ikelite SubStrobes are designed to provide warm and even coverage
for beautiful and natural results. Special electronics built directly
into the housing provide true Canon eTTL exposure when used with
a current model "DS" SubStrobe. "TTL" means
that the camera communicates with the SubStrobe, automatically
adjusting its output for perfect results. See strobe requirements
by serial number.
The EV Manual Controller can be used either hard-wired with a
sync cord or as an optical slave to trigger any external "DS" SubStrobe.
The EV controller allows precise control over the strobe's output
in 10 manual power settings. Attachment of the EV controller precludes
use of the housing's TTL capabilities.
Non-Ikelite strobes can be triggered optically by the camera's
flash or connected directly to the camera's hotshoe by special
sync cord. Non-Ikelite strobes connected by sync cord will operate
in manual mode only.
