  • 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 • Note2: TTL Converter’s special feature “Flash intensity adjustment by camera controls in “Controlled Manual mode” (look the appropriate partition below) is not applicable with YS-D3 DUO, because of the optical signal processing algorithm inside the strobe. But electric input of YS-D3 DUO supports this feature. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TTL Converter battery energy saving ▪...

  • 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 Camera menu Manual Mode (controlled M mode) Switch system to Manual mode by camera menu. Set underwater strobe to S-TTL (TTL) mode for availability of flash output adjustment via camera controls. This is preferable Manual mode for universal usage, easy switchable and controllable under water during the diving. This case TTL-Converter also switches to appropriate M mode automatically by camera command.
  • Page 7 HSS (High Speed Synchronization) with Retra and APOLLO strobes ▪ “HSS” shutter speeds on most of Canon cameras are available up to 1/8000 s. ▪ Pay attention, that Retra and APOLLO high speed sync mode performs a Manual type flash, but not TTL. In this HSS mode the flash intensity can be adjusted only manually by the strobe dial knob.
