- 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 ▪ TTL Converter battery can work about 1 year, but only if camera activity settings have been set properly by user. ▪ When camera is active, TTL Converter is also active and consumes energy from battery. When camera is not active (Standby mode or switched OFF), the TTL-Converter is also switched OFF automatically.
- Page 4 Using optical synchronization, set right dial switch on the strobe body to “0ev” (position “12 o’clock”), but using electrical wire synchronization set right dial switch to “ttl” mark as fixed position (“9 o’clock”). In case of optical synchronization, TTL correction (+/-) is available by the strobe dial switch “+/-Ev” and also by the camera controls via “Flash Exposure Compensation”.
- Page 5 Shooting in Manual mode ▪ Underwater photographer can use 3 different methods for shooting in Manual mode: Camera menu Manual mode Underwater strobe Manual mode TTL-Converter hardwire Manual mode Camera menu controlled Manual Mode (set by camera menu assigned command – “WL”) Switch TTL-converter to Manual mode by camera menu (“WL”...
- Page 6 • Special note for YS-D3 DUO strobe usage: TTL Converter’s Flash intensity adjustment by camera controls in this “Controlled Manual mode” is not applicable with YS-D3 DUO via optical input, because of the optical signal processing algorithm inside the strobe. Although the electric input of YS-D3 DUO supports this feature normally. Underwater Strobe Manual Mode (set by underwater strobe dial switch): Set underwater strobe dial switch to M mode without pre-flashes.
- Page 7 ▪ For Continuous (Serial) Shooting with underwater strobes, it is strongly recommended to use Manual mode and set small flash intensities manually. This way it is possible to get serial shots with acceptable lighting accuracy due to reduced recycle times. Storage ▪...
