eTTL, Additional information:
Conversion module in the housing allows current DS-series Substrobes
to give eTTL flash control using information provided by the
camera (for compatible serial numbers see below). The conversion
module takes its power from the substrobe via 5-wire sync cord
4103.51 (single strobe) or 4103.52 (dual strobe). |
| On turning on the Substrobe, the conversion circuit
powers up in its default TTL mode. |
 |
| Use of the arrow buttons allows flash exposure
compensation (FEC) of ±2EV in ½EV increments. Red
LEDs indicate the FEC setting. No red LEDs are lit when the compensation
is zero, |
 |
| Pressing both arrow buttons together for 1 second
toggles the system into manual flash mode. Initial setting is
full power (F). The arrow buttons allow 8 manual settings in
½EV increments. |

SubStrobe Compatibility
Ikelite DS-series substrobe production as of
September 2004 has been updated to provide full compatibility
with the eTTL conversion circuitry. DS Substrobes produced before
Sept 2004 require modification involving removal of the audible
ready signal and disabling of Nikonos (film camera) TTL error
signals in order to maintain pre-flash exposure accuracy for
photographs taken at intervals of less than 5 seconds.
DS-50 substrobes with serial number below 63850 (GTO type)
cannot be updated cost effectively to operate correctly with
the eTTL system. DS-50 Substrobes with serial numbers between
63850 and 69999 work correctly but require update for optimum
exposure accuracy in rapid firing situations. Full compatibility
is provided from serial no. 70000 onwards.
DS-125 Substrobes with serial number below 2500 (GTO type)
must be updated to work with the eTTL converter. DS-125
Substrobes with serial numbers between 2500 and 4999 work correctly
but require update for optimum exposure accuracy in rapid firing
situations. Full compatibility is provided from serial no. 5000
onwards. |
