Flash Socket
The flash socket is located in the came ra 's baseplate
just below the anatomical grip. Use a coin to unscrew
the flash socket cover@. Like the battery chamber
cover, it has an O-ring to make it watert ight. Once the
cover is removed, electrical connection between the
camera and the Nikonos Speedlight SB-103, SB-102
or 8B-101 can be made with the coiled sync cord.
Since the Nikonos -V's flash socket provides X-sync
only, flash units using flashbulbs cannot be used. An
opt ional sync cord allows other Nikon speedlights to
be used with the Nikonos-V on land.

.After each underwater shooting session, examine the
flash socket cover's O-ring and apply lubrication if
necessary_ See " PREPARATION" on page 7 for more
information_
• Whenever
a
sync cord is not being used, be sure the
flash socket cover is screwed tightly into place; if water
seeps past, it will be almost impossible to remove_ If
water does enter the flash socket, contact
an
authorized
Nikon dealer or service center immediately or corrosion
may damage the electrical contacts and circuitry_
