Setting Your Camera
Refer to your camera and housing instruction manuals for
recommendations on ash settings for external strobes. In
general:
• External Speedlight control must be set to Flash ring -
Enable.
• Auto Lighting Optimizer must be set to Disable.
If you are having trouble getting your strobe(s) to re or
expose properly we recommend restoring your camera
to factory default settings and making sure the hotshoe is
pushed all of the way forward.
Installation and Use
Installing the CT1 TTL Hotshoe
1.
Depress the tab on the manual hotshoe connector and
gently pull connector ends apart to remove the housing’s
manual hotshoe.
2.
Align TTL hotshoe and bulkhead connector ends and
push together until tab clicks into place.
3.
Push hotshoe forward into camera’s hotshoe mount.
Make sure that the hotshoe is all the way forward to

2.
Apply a very thin, even layer of lubricant on all threads,
sealing surfaces, and the exposed portion of the plug
o-ring. Do not allow lubricant to get into the pins and
receptacles of the plug or bulkheads.
3.
Align plug and insert into the housing bulkhead. Each
male pin mates with a female receptacle. Failing to line up
the contacts properly before tightening may result in
damage to the converter plug and/or housing bulkhead.
4.
Hand-tighten the retaining ring.

Attach a compatible sync cord to the converter using the
same method. Hold the converter while tightening the
sync cord retaining ring.
6.
Attach a compatible strobe(s) to the sync cord.
Shooting with TTL Strobe Exposure
1.
Turn strobe on. When turned on the DL5 DS Link will be
in TTL mode. The LED indicator glows blue in TTL mode.
2.
Set the strobe to TTL.
3.
Exposure compensation may be added or subtracted
through the camera’s menus. Refer to your camera
instruction manual for more information.
»It is only possible to toggle between TTL (blue LED) and
Manual (red LED) when a camera is connected.
»An incorrectly mounted hotshoe may prevent toggling
between TTL and Manual.
