9. Follow the instructions in your strobe manual on how to synchronize your camera with the external
flash and to select the proper pre‐flash program for your camera. It is recommended to test the
synchronization when photographing opposite a mirror. In this case, the output of the slave flash
should be visible in the test shot taken.
10. Note that an optional LED Flash Trigger can be used to trigger the slave flash instead of being
triggered by the camera built‐in flash. See "Led Flash Trigger" section for further information.
Electronic Strobes
Electronic strobes can be attached to the housing using electronic sync cords. These sync cord connect to
the housing electronic strobe bulkhead (separately purchased), which connects to the camera hot‐shoe.
The FA6400 Housing features an M16 Accessory Port, which allows for the installation of an electronic
strobe bulkhead in the housing. Note that such a bulkhead should be separately purchased. For further
information, visit our website – www.fantasea.com
LED FLASH TRIGGERS
The FA6400 Housing features two dedicated ports inside the housing, which were designed to allow the use
of an optional LED Flash Trigger. The LED Flash Trigger is a useful accessory when making use of slave
flashes connected to the housing with fiber optic cables. It attaches to the camera hot‐shoe on one end and
to the two LED Trigger Ports on the other end. When an image is captured, the device LEDs installed inside
the LED Trigger Ports trigger the slave strobe without activating the camera built‐in flash. This spares
camera battery consumption and also prevents the built‐in flash recycle time from limiting continuous
shooting.
