Ikelite DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter with PT1 Hotshoe Kit

Over the years, TTL strobe exposure has revolutionized the realm of both wide-angle and macro photography, offering a seamless blend of creativity and convenience. The DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter with PT1 Hotshoe Kit is a testament to this evolution, enabling your camera to control the strobe output, freeing you to focus on adjusting your camera's settings, composing the perfect shot, and honing in on your subject.

TTL, or "Thru-the-Lens" flash metering, is a sophisticated technology where the camera evaluates the scene and communicates exposure information directly to the compatible flash. This means the camera automatically adjusts the power output of the external flash, eliminating the need for manual intervention. TTL exposure is not only faster but also typically more accurate than setting the flash output manually.

The DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter is a game-changer, especially when shooting fast-moving subjects or subjects that are moving towards or away from you. It's the easiest way to capture perfectly exposed macro photography, allowing you to concentrate on focus and framing. Contrary to popular belief, TTL isn't just for macro photography. When shooting wide-angle or close focus wide angle (CFWA), you can set your camera to properly expose the background and let the DL3 adjust your strobe intensity for proper exposure of the foreground.

Ikelite, the pioneer in introducing TTL for underwater strobes with Olympus digital cameras, continues to set the standard for accuracy of Olympus TTL flash protocol. The DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter also features electrical flash triggering, which is as quick and easy as screwing in a light bulb. This feature supports greater accuracy, faster rapid firing, and fewer missed flashes compared to fiber optic triggering. Moreover, the use of electrical TTL dramatically increases strobe battery life.

The kit includes a PT1 TTL Hotshoe, which is essential for TTL operation with most Ikelite DL housings. The DL3 DS Link offers ultimate flexibility, allowing you to switch between TTL and manual flash exposure modes with the simple push of a button. A super bright LED indicator light shows you which mode you are in with a quick glance. When in TTL mode, flash exposure (EV) compensation can be accessed quickly and easily through the camera's menus.

The DL3 DS Link fully supports rear curtain sync flash modes and is independently waterproof sealed, making it compatible with a wide array of camera models. Simply use a dual sync cord to fire two strobes in TTL from a single DL3 DS Link converter. This product is a must-have for photographers seeking to elevate their craft to new heights.
