Setting Up An External Strobe

About the Built-In Flash

Due to the opaque housing design, the internal "built-in" flash can
only be used to trigger external fiber optic strobes. To shoot flash
photography underwater, an external strobe must be connected to
the housing and then triggered via fiber optic cord. Always extend the
flash BEFORE closing the camera inside the housing.
We recommend attaching an external strobe for the optimal color
and clarity in a wide variety of shooting situations, including daylight
photography.

Attaching a Fiber Optic Cord

1. Check the end of the fiber optic cord to ensure that it is clean and
smooth.
