We suggest that you read this instruction booklet thoroughly

before use. If you are new to underwater photography, be sure

to read the General and Photo Tips sections.

We also suggest that you read the camera manual thoroughly

to have a full understanding of where each camera control is

located and what function each control provides.

The EV-Controller used with Ikelite DS Substrobes has two user

settings. One setting is for strobe selection, the other is for

pre-flash or non pre-flash. TThhiiss ccaam

meerraa uusseess pprree--ffllaasshh, thus the

EV-Controller should be set to the pre-flash position when used

with this camera.

The camera does not emit a pre-flash when used in the “M”

manual mode. If using the “M” manual mode, set the

EV-controller to non-pre-flash.
