About TTL

TTL (“Through-the-Lens”) allows the camera to evaluate the scene and communicate directly with the Ikelite strobe. TTL exposure is fast and precise, ideal for moving subjects or macro photography. For wide-angle or CFWA shots, set the background exposure and let the DL1 adjust the strobe intensity for the foreground.
