The Ikelite AutoFlash AF35 Secondary Strobe Kit is used to add a second strobe for broader and more even coverage. This is very important when using wide-angle lenses.
The dual tray attaches directly to most small Ikelite housings for point-and-shoot digital cameras. The kit features a contoured handle with a rubber grip for added comfort, and the pop-bead Flex Arm offers flexibility in flash positioning. No tools are needed to remove the handle, arm and strobe assembly from the tray for packing. The system is lightweight above water for travel and approximately neutrally buoyant underwater when attached to an Ikelite housing with camera.
The exposure selector dial on the side of the sensor provides fine-tuning to optimize results with a variety of digital still cameras. Once you find an exposure level that you like, leave the dial on that number for automatic operation. For advanced users, the selector dial can be used as exposure compensation while remaining in automatic mode. The flash also features six manual power settings for full control over exposure.
An external flash is your most important accessory. The ocean is one big, blue filter. As you descend, the reds and oranges quickly become muted shades of blue and gray. Shining a color corrected light source on your subject will bring back your subject's natural color.
