Camera Compatibility

The TTL Converter is equipped with a simple rotating switch that allows
toggling between TTL and manual exposure.
Exposure compensation is OT provided through the Adapter, but may
be accessed through a camera button or the camera's built-in menu.
Proper operation and TTL exposure requires use of a current-model
Ikelite DS strobe - see Strobe Compatibility, Page 5.
Use of this TTL Converter requires an Ikelite 5-pin electrical bulkhead
strobe connector and TTL hotshoe. If you are unsure whether your
housing meets these requirements, please contact the housing
manufacturer. Wiring diagrams for our Ikelite connectors can be found at
ikelite. om.
One or two strobes may be connected to the Converter using an
Ikelite-to-Ikelite single or dual sync cord. Use of two strobes requires a
dual sync cord. Two strobes cannot be controlled by individual separate
Converters even if the housing is equipped with two bulkhead
connectors.
TTL Converters are not usable with non-Ikelite strobes or non-DS series
Ikelite strobes.
Due to hardware changes and risk of cord damage, we are unable to
modify existing 4301, 4301.2, 4302, or 4302.2 Converters to the newest
TTL protocol.
Please also note that strobe serial number requirements differ from the
original ikon TTL Converter - see Strobe Compatibility, Page 5.
The Ikelite TTL Adapter is NOT compatible with the following ikon
Cameras; D-100, D-1X, D-2H.
