Ikelite DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter with PT2 Hotshoe Kit

Where creativity meets convenience, the DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter with PT2 Hotshoe Kit is your key to unlocking a new realm of photographic possibilities. This kit is designed to enhance both wide-angle and macro photography, allowing your camera to control the strobe output while you focus on adjusting your camera's settings, composing the perfect shot, and honing in on your subject.

The DL3 DS Link utilizes Thru-the-Lens (TTL) flash metering, a technology that enables the camera to evaluate the scene and relay exposure information directly to the compatible flash. This means your camera automatically adjusts the power output of the external flash, freeing you from manual adjustments. TTL exposure is not only faster, but also typically more accurate than manual settings, making it an invaluable tool 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), you can set your camera to properly expose the background while the DL2 adjusts your strobe intensity for optimal exposure of the foreground.

Ikelite, the pioneer in introducing TTL for underwater strobes with Olympus digital cameras, continues to set the standard for Olympus TTL flash protocol accuracy. The DL3 DS Link Panasonic/Olympus TTL Converter with PT2 Hotshoe Kit also features electrical flash triggering, which offers greater accuracy, faster rapid firing, and fewer missed flashes compared to fiber optic triggering. Plus, the use of electrical TTL significantly extends strobe battery life.

Included in the kit is the PT2 TTL Hotshoe, 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 a simple button push. An ultra-bright LED indicator light provides a quick mode status check. When in TTL mode, flash exposure (EV) compensation can be accessed swiftly and easily through the camera's menus.

The DL3 DS Link is independently waterproof sealed and compatible with a wide range of camera models. Use a dual sync cord to fire two strobes in TTL from a single DL3 DS Link converter, making this kit a versatile addition to your photography equipment.
