About Ikelite DL3 DS Link

Why settle for less when you can have the best in underwater photography with the DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter with Nikonos N5 Connector This innovative and high-quality product, designed by the reputable brand Ikelite, is a game-changer for both wide-angle and macro photographers.

The DL3 DS Link Converter utilizes TTL, or "Thru-the-Lens" flash metering, enabling your camera to control the strobe output. This leaves you free to focus on adjusting your camera's settings, composing the perfect shot, and honing in on your subject. The TTL feature evaluates the scene and communicates exposure information directly to the compatible flash, automatically adjusting the power output of the external flash. This means you can capture perfectly exposed images, especially when shooting fast-moving subjects or those moving towards or away from you.

Contrary to popular belief, TTL isn't just for macro photography. When shooting wide-angle or close focus wide angle (CFWA), simply set your camera to properly expose the background and let the DL3 DS Link adjust your strobe intensity for the perfect exposure of the foreground.

Ikelite, the first company to introduce TTL for underwater strobes with Olympus digital cameras, continues to set the standard for Olympus TTL flash protocol accuracy. The DL3 DS Link Converter also features an electrical flash triggering system, which supports greater accuracy, faster rapid firing, and fewer missed flashes compared to fiber optic triggering.

The DL3 DS Link Converter is not only versatile, compatible with a wide array of camera models, but also durable and reliable. It's independently waterproof sealed and can be used with a dual sync cord to fire two strobes in TTL from a single DL3 DS Link converter.

Switch between TTL and manual flash exposure modes with a simple push of a button, and a super bright LED indicator light will show you which mode you're in at a 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, offering you the ultimate flexibility in underwater photography.

Experience the difference with the DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter with Nikonos N5 Connector, a reliable and versatile tool for all your underwater photography needs.
