The SA-100 system #4086.61
with its 1" diameter ball is ideal
underwater. The #9571.3
extended stem mount allows
easy attachment of the
EV-controller or flashlight
mount, and drops right into
the release handle. Aim does
not change when changing the
aim of the strobe. The arm
system allows easy strobe
placement from macro
close-up to wide angle without
changing aim of the Sensor.
The complete system removes
with a push of the handle
button.

The diffuser should be installed when using the camera’s built
in flash. When shooting with the camera’s built-in flash at
approximately 2 feet (0.6 m) or less, the lens port on the
housing may block a portion of the light from the camera’s
built-in flash, creating a shadow in the lower area of the photo.
If this occurs, zoom the lens slightly to eliminate the shadow.
(You can test this above water)

The deflector should be installed when using an external strobe
such as the DS51 or DS160 Substrobe with an EV Controller. The
deflector will redirect the camera’s flash to the EV Controller
w
hich controls the external DS strobe’s output.

Treat the glass in the lens port as a camera lens. After use, rinse
and gently dry the lens port to avoid water spotting. To clean,
use a mild soap solution or lens cleaner.
Do not use alcohol or window cleaner on the Lens Port.
The Housing Lens Port is threaded to accept 67mm accessory
lenses. These lenses are NOT recommended for use with this
housing due to extreme vignetting

DDSS DDiiggiittaall SSttrroobbeess
For the best underwater photographic results, we recommend
a
dding an external DS-digital strobe and EV-controller, connected
to the housing with a SA-100 Ball/socket arm.
Ikelite DS series Substrobes are industry favorites for their warm,
even coverage and lightning fast recycle time. Being farther from
the camera lens, the optional DS Substrobe aids in reducing the
illumination of particles in the water and helps to eliminate
backscatter.
When used in conjunction with the EV-Controller, the DS51 Mode
switch is set to the TTL setting and the EV-Controller provides ten
power settings in half-stop increments.
