f
lash When shooting with the camera’s builtin flash at
approximately  feet ( m) or less the lens port on the
housing blocks a portion of the light from the camera’s builtin
flash creating a shadow in the lower left of the photo To
eliminate the shadow zoom the lens between / and / of its

The Substrobe DS package includes
the Substrobe DS the EV
Controller and ball socket arms The
EV Controller provides  manual
power settings in / stop
increments An external strobe
offers several advantages over using
the camera’s builtin flash External
strobes move the flash away from
the camera lens which helps reduce
backscatter They also expand
lighting options to achieve the best
lighting for different subjects A
second external digital strobe
package can be added to fill the
shadows and produce more realistic
photographs
The Substrobe DS covers the
equivalent of a mm lens It is the
ideal choice when using only the
camera lens or the camera lens with
a macro accessory lens
If an accessory wide angle lens wider
than mm is used the ideal
lighting choice is the Substrobe
DS which covers  degrees or
two Substrobe DS’s can be used
