change at any time without prior notice.
This product has been water pressure tested at the factory and is depth
rated to 200 ft (60m). Thoroughly inspect and immerse the empty
housing completely in water before installing a camera. If any fogging
occurs or droplets of water enter the housing, do not install a camera.
Clean the housing main o-ring and retest to make sure that it is
watertight. Refer to the Troubleshooting section, page 23.
We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly before use
to have a full understanding of where each camera control is located,
and what function each control provides. Please read your camera
manual thoroughly to have a full understanding of each camera function.
If you are new to underwater photography, be sure to read the Photo
Tips section.
Due to the power required to operate the camera and LCD screen, start
each dive with a fully charged camera battery.

Housing Conversion Circuitry
This housing contains Ikelite designed and patented Conversion
Circuitry. Once attached, turn the strobe on first before turning on the
camera.
When used with Ikelite DS Substrobes the Conversion Circuitry provides
real Nikon iTTL flash exposure with over and underexposure
compensation from +1 1/3 to - 1 1/3 f-stops in 1/3 stop increments.
The Conversion Circuitry also offers Manual exposure control with 3
f-stops of underexposure control in 1/2 stop increments.
The Conversion Circuitry is powered by the Ikelite DS Substrobe when
connected to the housing with the 4103.51 single or 4103.52 dual sync
cord. When using two strobes with the dual sync cord, the primary
strobe connected to the cord without the red band, must be turned on to
power the Conversion Circuitry. Always keep both strobes connected to
your dual sync cord underwater. Do not exchange your secondary
strobe for a dust cap which may not be waterproof.
Using the Conversion Circuitry (Set DS Substrobe to TTL mode)
-Mode and Compensation Dial (see illustration below)
Note that the TTL compensation values are located in the yellow band.
Manual compensation values are located in the black band. Rotate the
Dial to switch between TTL and Manual Modes.
-TTL Mode compensation values are indicated in the yellow band. Place
the Setting Indicator to TTL for N Compensation. Rotate the Dial either
direction to select +/- compensation. Place the Setting Indicator to the
desired compensation value. Note that in TTL, compensation values are
in 1/3 f-stops.
-Manual Mode compensation values are indicated in the black band.
Rotate the Dial to place the Setting Indicator to the desired compensation
value. Note that in Manual Mode, compensation values are in 1/2 f-stops
from (F) full power to -3 f-stops.
Set DS Substrobe to TTL mode. This will allow the strobe power to
be varied in manual mode.

Using Non-Ikelite or Ikelite Non-DS Substrobes
(Substrobe 50, 100A, 200, 400) with this Housing
The Conversion Circuitry is automatically disabled when used with a
Non-Ikelite or Non-DS Substrobe. These Substrobes can be used in their
manual mode utilizing any power settings provided on the Substrobe.

DS50 and DS125 Substrobe Compatibility
- Older DS50 Substrobes with Serial Number below 63,850 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS50 Substrobes with Serial Number between 63,850 and 69,999
require upgrade of electronics to operate. Cost of update depends on
strobe circuitry. Strobe must be returned to Ikelite for evaluation to
provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
- Older DS125 Substrobes with Serial Number below 2,500 can NOT be
updated to operate correctly with the latest TTL conversion circuitry.
Older DS125 SubStrobes with Serial Number between 2,500 and 4,999
require upgrade of electronics to operate. Cost of update depends on
strobe circuitry. Strobe must be returned to Ikelite for evaluation to
provide an estimate of upgrade cost.
Attaching the Flash Connection for External Strobes
When using an external strobe,
connect the housing hotshoe
connector. Slide the connector into
the hotshoe mount on the camera
from the back of the camera as
shown. Slide the connector
forward until it stops. Make sure
the hotshoe is all the way
forward in the camera mount to
assure a good connection. Due to
limited clearance between the
camera hotshoe mount and the
housing back, the hotshoe
connector should be attached
before the camera is secured with
the mounting bolt.
