Ikelite DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter with ICS-5 Connector

Are you ready to elevate your underwater photography with precision and ease The DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter with ICS-5 Connector is an essential tool for both amateur and professional photographers seeking to capture stunning underwater images with their Canon equipment. This high-quality TTL converter is designed to seamlessly integrate with a wide range of Canon cameras and lenses, ensuring reliable and accurate TTL flash metering underwater.

Crafted by Ikelite, a leader in underwater photography gear, this durable and compact TTL converter is the perfect companion for your aquatic adventures. It allows your camera to control the strobe output automatically, freeing you to focus on composing the perfect shot and capturing the fleeting moments of marine life.

Understanding TTL, or "Thru-the-Lens" flash metering, is key to appreciating the DL5 DS Link's capabilities. Your 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, providing faster and typically more accurate exposures than manual flash settings. Whether you're photographing fast-moving subjects or engaging in intricate macro photography, TTL can be the difference between a good shot and a great one.

The versatility of the DL5 DS Link extends beyond macro photography. When shooting wide angle or close focus wide angle (CFWA), you can set your camera to expose the background correctly while the DL5 DS Link adjusts your strobe intensity for proper foreground exposure. Ikelite's pioneering role in introducing TTL for underwater strobes with Canon digital cameras ensures that you benefit from the most accurate Canon TTL flash protocol available.

Electrical flash triggering with the DL5 DS Link offers greater accuracy, faster rapid firing, and fewer missed flashes compared to fiber optic triggering. This method also significantly extends strobe battery life. For TTL operation, a compatible TTL hotshoe with a distinctive yellow band at the connector end is necessary, signifying Ikelite's commitment to quality and compatibility.

The ultimate in flexibility, the DL5 DS Link allows you to switch between TTL and manual flash exposure modes with the simple push of a button. A super bright LED indicator light displays your current mode at a glance. When in TTL mode, flash exposure (EV) compensation is readily accessible through your camera's menus, and the DL5 DS Link fully supports rear curtain sync flash modes.

Independently waterproof sealed, the DL5 DS Link can be used with a diverse array of camera models. For photographers looking to fire two strobes in TTL from a single DL5 DS Link converter, simply use a dual sync cord. Embrace the creative possibilities and technical precision that the DL5 DS Link Canon TTL Converter with ICS-5 Connector brings to your underwater photography.
