  • 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 Recommended time of camera activity, – 15 seconds, or another minimal time allowed by the camera menu. Also, please set a minimum time for viewing image and other similar camera activities. Don’t set “Hold” option in camera menu, it causes fast battery drain. Initial settings for underwater shooting with flash ▪...
  • Page 4 ▪ Enter submenu for Synchronization settings: Set “1 curtain” or “2 curtain”, or “HSS” synchronization: Shooting in TTL flash mode ▪ Set main dial switch on the underwater strobe body to TTL mode. Please refer to concrete strobe User Manual to choose an appropriate mode (Z330, Z-240, Retra Pro MAX set to “S-TTL”, YS-D1 set to “DS-TTL”, YS-250/DS-161/DS160 set to “TTL”).
  • Page 5 ▪ 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 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). • Special note for YS-D3 DUO strobe usage: TTL Converter’s Flash intensity adjustment by camera controls in this “Controlled Manual mode”...
  • Page 7 Continuous (Serial) Shooting using underwater strobes ▪ TTL Converter supports Continuous shooting in all modes, including TTL and M modes. But the main role in this case plays underwater strobes specific (read below). ▪ Compact size underwater strobes like Z-240, Z-330, YS-D1, YS-D3 Mk II etc. have rather weak charger inside, which cannot charge the strobe quick enough between series of TTL doubled flashes (pre-flash + main flash).
