  • Page 2 Safety Warning for Batteries usage ➢ Use only batteries of the type specified in the Specification. ➢ Batteries must be new and undamaged. Carefully check batteries before usage. ➢ To avoid leakage or explosion, always check appropriate battery terminals position (“plus” terminal up) before installing to the TTL Converter.
  • Page 3 TTL Converter battery energy saving ▪ In camera menu please set an acceptable Review Time and Time before going to Standby mode and other timings of camera activity, these are most important settings for TTL-Converter battery saving. When camera is active, TTL Converter is also active and consumes energy from battery.
  • Page 4 Flash firing – “Enable” (switch ON the flash) or “Disable” (switch OFF the flash) E-TTL II meter. – Recommended to set “Average” metering type, as initial setting, “Evaluative” type also can be useful with some camera models. Flash sync. speed in Av mode – “1/250 fixed”, “1/60-1/250 auto” or “Auto’ ▪...
  • Page 5 Set ETTL flash mode: ▪ Set “1-st curtain” or “2-nd curtain” synchronization type. ▪ Don’t set “HSS” menu option when shooting in TTL mode, - this setting switches system to manual HSS mode even if TTL option is set. ▪ During the initial test, dependently of concrete camera model, strobes condition etc., photographer should initially adjust (+/-) correction to TTL Flash exposure control.
  • Page 6 In such Manual mode also becomes available flash output level scale in submenu. User can adjust flash output level by camera wheel, looking to this menu scale (or looking to camera service screen): Some manual underwater strobes (like MF-1) requires very strong optical signal for synchronization, this case necessary to set maximum power by this scale (1/1).
  • Page 7 Shutter High Speeds availability for shooting with ambient light ▪ Classic underwater strobes produce a mono-flash, they cannot work in HSS range speeds (excluding Retra and Apollo strobes), camera automatically limits sync speed 1/250 for them, usually until Hot Shoe plug is connected. But our new TTL-Converter firmware allows shutter high speeds usage for shooting underwater with ambient sunlight as well (without flash) even if Hot Shoe plug is connected.
