Specifications

Opening - Always turn the AutoFlash OFF (as shown) and dry the flash

before opening the battery door. To access the

battery compartment, rotate the knob

counter-clockwise several turns and gently

remove the door. Tilt the back of the flash down

while removing the battery door to eliminate the

possibility of water droplets falling into the

battery compartment. Note: Do not remove the

knob from the battery door.

Battery Compartment O-ring

eep the o-ring and sealing surfaces

clean. Lightly lubricate the exposed

portion of the o-ring with the Ikelite

silicone lubricant provided.

Changing the Batteries

Install four AA-cell batteries: alkaline, NiCad, or NiMH. Refer to the “+”

and “-” markings in the battery compartment to help properly install the

batteries. If the batteries are installed incorrectly it may damage the

electronics. Batteries should be replaced when the flash takes 15

seconds or longer to recycle.

Closing the Compartment

Check that the o-ring and sealing surfaces are clean, the o-ring is lightly

lubricated and in its original position. Replace the battery door. Make

sure it fits into the recess around the battery compartment. Rotate the

knob clockwise several times and firmly hand-tighten to assure the

proper o-ring seal, otherwise the battery compartment may leak.

Caution: Do Not use a tool when tightening as it may damage the

battery door. The o-ring seal is visible through the battery door.

Visually confirm that there is a solid black line which indicates a

seal all the way around the door.

Battery Compartment

To use the AF35 AutoFlash in the Auto or Manual Mode the camera’s

built-in flash must be set to fire on every shot as it is used to trigger the

AF35 AutoFlash.

OFF - Figure 1 shows the AF35

flash Mode Switch set to OFF.

Always turn the flash OFF when not

in use for prolonged periods or when

changing batteries.

AUTO - Figure 2 shows the AF35

flash Mode Switch set to AUTO.

From the OFF position rotate the

mode switch clockwise to access the

AUTO exposure setting; the white

indicator on the knob aligns with

AUTO. When taking pictures with

the Mode Switch in the Auto

position, the Auto Sensor

automatically controls the flash

output of the AF35 flash.

See Auto Exposure Selector Dial,

page 8, for setup and additional

information when using the AF35 in the AUTO mode.

MANUAL - Figure 3 shows the Mode Switch in the manual exposure

mode with the AF35 turned to the F (full power) position. Rotate the

Mode Switch clockwise to access the different power settings. Each

power setting clockwise from F reduces the light output of the AF35 in

one-half f-stop increments. When shooting in manual mode, it is

suggested that you start at F (full power). If the subject in the photo is

underexposed (too dark) you must move closer to the subject.

(Fig.1) (Fig.2)

(Fig.3) (Fig.4)

AUTO

AF35 Flash Settings

If the subject is overexposed (too light), then you can rotate the mode

switch clockwise to reduce the light output of the flash until the desired

exposure is obtained. The AF35 provides five reductions in power in 1/2

f-stop increments from the full power setting. Figure 4, page 6, for

example, shows the Mode Switch set to minus 1-1/2 f-stops. When the

AF35 is in any manual setting the Auto Exposure Selector Dial setting

has no effect on the flash output.

Switch the AF35 between Auto and Manual settings at any time.

AF35 Flash eady Light

The AF35 flash features a ready/confidence light at the rear of the flash

that glows when the flash has recycled and is

ready to fire. When the recycle times range

between 10 and 15 seconds it is recommended

that fresh batteries be installed.

Note: The AF35 flash will most likely recycle

faster than the camera’s built-in flash. Since

the camera’s built-in flash is required to trigger

the AF35 flash, make sure the camera’s built-in

flash has recycled and is ready to fire before

taking a picture.

eady Light in Auto Mode

When the AF35 fires in the Auto Mode and enough light reaches the

subject for proper exposure the ready light will glow green for about 2-3

seconds, then glow red. If the ready light does not glow green, but glows

red immediately after taking a picture, not enough light reached the

subject for proper exposure. Move closer to the subject and take another

picture and check the ready light.

On the side of the Auto Sensor is the Auto

Exposure Selector Dial. Different cameras

may require different exposure values. Once

the correct exposure value is determined for

a particular camera, no further adjustments

should be necessary to obtain acceptable

flash exposures of varying subjects

within normal shooting ranges.

To determine the camera’s optimum Exposure Value we recommend the

following procedure. This procedure can be done above water.

Make sure the camera’s battery is fully charged and the AF35 flash has

fresh batteries. Assemble the AF35 flash and camera housing with the

flash deflector installed on the housing. Make sure the camera’s built-in

flash is set to fire on every shot and is fully charged. Turn the AF35 Mode

Dial to AUTO. Set the Auto Exposure Selector Dial to 5 as shown above.

Position the camera and flash approximately 1m (3 feet) from a colorful

subject. Sub ect should not be all white or black. Take a picture, review

the picture, if the picture is overexposed (light), turn the Auto Exposure

Selector Dial down to 4, if the picture is underexposed (dark) turn the Auto

Exposure Selector Dial up to 6. Repeat this procedure until the optimum

exposure is obtained. Once the optimum Auto Exposure Value has been

determined for that camera, use that value anytime that camera is used

with the AF35 in the Auto Mode. Repeat this procedure anytime a different

camera is used with the AF35 AutoFlash.

For advanced users, the Auto Exposure Selector Dial can be used for

exposure compensation while remaining in the automatic mode. When the

AF35 is set in the Auto Mode, the Auto Exposure Selector Dial can be

used to increase or decrease the flash intensity in difficult lighting

conditions.

Setting the Auto Exposure Selector Dial

The flash diffuser adds 10° to the angle-of-coverage of the flash. The

diffuser is usually not required unless a wide angle lens is being used.

The white diffuser features two protruding tabs for use in installation and

removal. The tabs on the diffuser should be positioned away from the

flash.

Place the diffuser over the front of the flash. Spread the two tabs apart,

insert the diffuser into the

recessed front, and then

rotate the diffuser until it

locks into position.

To remove the diffuser, bend

one tab out towards the

edge while lifting

simultaneously.

A lanyard can be attached to

the diffuser by threading it

through the two holes.

Using Dual AF35 AutoFlashes

When using dual AF35 AutoFlashes, determine the optimum Auto

Exposure Value for one AF35 AutoFlash as described on page 6, then set

the same Auto Exposure Value on the second AF35 selector dial.

Applies to Single or Dual Tray.

The AF35 AutoFlash can ONLY be mounted to Ikelite ULTRAcompact

and Compact Digital housing models DC-100 and DC-200.

Turn the housing so the tray mounting inserts on the bottom of the

housing are facing up. Place the tray across the bottom of the housing

and align the two outer holes in the tray with the mounting inserts in the

bottom of the housing. Insert the two mounting bolts as shown below

and tighten the bolts firmly to secure the tray to the housing.

Note: Your mounting hardware includes 2 12-24 thread and 2 1/4-20

thread size screws. Make sure you use the correct thread size screws

with your housing. Do Not cross-thread the Mounting Inserts.
