Connect the other end of the fiber optic
cable to the receptacie/socket of the digital
camera housing or the strobe mask attached
to the housing.
X When you shoot with a compact digital
camera, set the built-in flash of the camera
to the forced-flash mode. The product will
not fire unless the built-in flash of the camera will fire.
#: Observe the instruction manual of the digital camera for the setting

Target light switch and the Light level control dial.
{Mode switch}
[OFF] Turns the power off. Set the mode switch
to this position when you are not using
the product.
[Manual1] Activates the strobe fer manual flash
output. Set the mode switch to this
position when you shoot with a digital
camera that pre-flashes, or an under-
water camera/SLR housing with con-
necting the product with a sync cord.
[Manual2] Activates the strobe for manual flash output. Set the mode
switch to this position when you shoot with a digital camera
that does not pre-flash, or an underwater camera/SLR
housing with connecting the product with a sync cord.
3% The number of pre-flashes of a built-in flash of a digital camera differs
among models and manufacturers, so check settings before shooting
by conducting test flashes.
¥IManual 1] and [Manual 2] have the completely same performance
when the strobe is connected to an underwater camera/SLR housing
with a sync cord.
[TTL] Activates the strobe for TTL flash output. With a compact digital
camera, it activates DS-TTL flash output. {Refer to the TDS-
TTL] on the page 16 for the details.)
¥ TTL photography is the automatic light control by the strobe based on
the camera's photometric data of the correct light amount for the proper
exposure for the subject. You can get the proper exposure accurately
even if the distance from the subject has changed, When the correct
amount of light is detected for a proper exposure, the TTL lamp {green)
will illuminate for approx. 3 seconds. if the subject is out of the proper
strobe-to-subject range, the TTL lamp will not change to green (keep
red = READY). If this occurs, recheck the distance and the aperture
{referring to the [Calculation of the Exposure Value] on the page 19),
and switch to Manual photography.
[TTL lamp] illuminates in red when the strobe is ready to fire. Also
illuminates in green for approx. 3 seconds after firing with
TTL flash output.
13
{Pre-flash}
With some types of digital cameras, the exposure is adjusted with a first
pre-flash and the picture is taken with the second (main) fash. This strobe
fires synchronizing the second (main) flash by selecting [Manual 12
position Only,
XIf you are not sure if your camera pre-flashes or not, start by setting
the mode switch to the [Manual 1] position and triggering your camera
flash. if the camera pre-flashes, the strobe will fre on the second (main)
flash. If the camera does not pre-flash, the strobe will not fire at all.
3X When you conduct test flashes and check settings, set the built-in flash
of the digital camera to the forced-flash mode.
¥ Release the red-eye-reduction function. {Set the red-eye-reduction
function of the built-in flash of the camera, if provided, to the off position.)
(To check the settings)
You can check the settings of the mode switch by shooting the strobe
with a compact digital camera.
1. After choosing a setting of the mode switch as described above,
point the digital camera at the front of the strobe and take a picture.
XKeep at least 1 meter (3 feet) of distance
between the strobe and the digital camera
when taking the picture.
Set the slave switch (P 15) to [ON] position,
and the built-in flash of the digita! camera
must flash.
. Look at the image captured by the camera
(using replay mode on the camera). If you
ses a white flash in the strobe or an image
that is completely white, then the strobe has
fired and the setting is correct.
® A single digital camera may ---in different
modes-- pre-flash or not pre-flash, If you
change the mode of the camera, check the
strobe setting again for that mode. A
@|f the distance between the camera and the не
strobe is too great or underwater conditions are too murky, the strobe
may not detect the camera's built-in flash and may not fire. in these
conditions we recommend using a fiber optic cable (option) to connect
the strobe and the camera's built-in flash.

{Slave switch)
[ON] Activates the slave function. Set the
stave switch to this position when you
want to use this strobe without a sync
cord as a slave, such as shooting with a
compact digital camera, or as a sub-strobe.
XSet the slave switch to [ON] position when
vou use this strobe connecting with a SEARSEA
fiber optic cable.
X When you shoot with a compact digital camera, set the built-in flash
of the camera to the forced-flash mode. The product will not fire
unless the built-in Hash of the camera will fire.
[OFF] Turn the slave function off. Set the slave switch to this position
when you use this strobe connecting with a sync cord.
@ Set the slave switch to [ON] position when you use this strobe without
connecting a sync cord. If the switch is set to the [OFF] position,
the strobe will not fire even if the mode switch is set to [Manual 1],
(Manual 2) or [TTL).
(Light level contro! dial}
Manual flash exposure can be adjusted in 12
increments with the light control dial. The mode
switch must be set to [Manual 1] or [Manual 2].
¥In the DS-TTL mode (refer to the ‘DS-TTL]
on the page 16 for the details) with the mode
switch set at {TTL] position using with a compact
digital camera, you can micro-adjust {dimming
only)
® When you use this strobe connected to an underwater camera/SLR
housing with a syne cord, by setting the mode switch at [TTL] position,
you cannot adjust the light amount with the light control dial,
In this case, the TTL is controlled by the camera automatically.
15
{Target light switch}
Turn on the target light when you push the target
light switch. Turn off the light when you push the
switch once again. The light turns off when the
strobe fires, and lights up again when the strobe
is ready io fire {when the TTL lamp lights up in red).
The target light continues to be illuminated until
the light is turned off by pushing the switch or the
strobe is turned off by setting the made switch to
the [OFF] position.
(DS-TTL system)
DS-TIL system on this strobe is the slave TTL system with flash
exposure compensation. This system is activated only when you are
using another main TTL flash/strobe such as a camera's built-in flash
or other functioning TTL strobes.
When you shoot with a compact digital cameras, set the mode switch
to [TTL] position and the slave switch to [ON] position, and set the
light level contro! dial to the FULL position. When you release the
shutter, the main flash/strobe will start firing. This strobe also starts
firing by sensing the light from the main flash/strobe. Then the
camera calculates the total light amount to get the correct exposure,
and it controls the main flash/strobe to stop firing {TTL is activated).
This strobe also stops firing by synchronizing with the main strobe. In
the DS-TTL mode, you can micro-adiust (dimming only) the fight
amount. Adjust the light level control dial to decrease the light
amount when you get an overexposed image for macro photography
etc.

A Tips for DS-TTL mode
1. When you use this strobe connected to an underwater camera/SLR
housing with a sync cord, DS-TTL mode will NOT be activated.
2. DS-TTL mode is activated only when you are using another main
TTL flash/strobe such as a camera's built-in flash or other functioning
TTL strobes. Use this strobe as a sub-strobe of the main strobe.
3. The GN of the main TTL flash/strobe should be bigger than this strobe.
4, If the GN of the main TTL flash/strobe is smaller than this strobe
such as camera's built-in flash, use a SEA&SEA fiber optic cable to
secure synchronization.
5. When you shoot with a compact digital camera, set the built-in flash
of the camera to the forced-flash mode. The product will not fire
unless the built-in flash of ihe camera will fire.
If the light is too weak to trigger the strobe, strobe will not fire.
@ This strobe may be triggered when other strobes fire around you.
@ You cannot increase the light amount with the light level control dial
higher than that the camera has detected.
@ When shooting with a compact digital camera, set the mode switch
to ÉTTL] position and the slave switch to [ON] position. DS-TTL mode
is activated.
¥in the DS-TTL mode, you can micro-adjust (dimming only) the light
amount, Adjust the light level contro! díal to decrease the light amount
when you get an overexposed image for macro photography etc.
8 When shocting with an underwater cameralfSLR housing, set the mode
switch to [TTL] position and the slave switch to [OFF] position. The
normal TTL mode is activated.
Please use a SEA&SEA TTL converter (option) for TTL photography
with a Digital SLR housing.
In normal TTL mode, you cannot adjust the light amount.
Observe the instruction manual for the TTL converter before use.
