Using the Fiber Optic Cable
with Nano and Sea & Sea
Strobes
The Nano and Sea & Sea strobes are capable of synchronizing with the
camera's internal flash without a fiber optic cable in most diving
conditions. They feature a slave sensor that triggers the strobe to fire
along with the camera's internal flash, as long as the strobe and the
camera are positioned on the same axis.
The fiber optic cable, however, ensures the best synchronization
between the camera's internal flash and the external strobe in all
angles and in various diving conditions.
Step 1 - Preparing the Fiber Optic Cable
The fiber optic cable consists of two ends: One is attached to a white
plastic fitting (flat white plastic at the end of the cable with Allen
screw inside), and the other is loose or attached to an additional
plastic component. If your fiber optic cable consists of plastic fittings
on both ends (image #1), please follow this first step. However, if your
fiber optic cable features a plastic fitting only on one end (image #2),
please continue to Step 2.

- Page 2 a) Remove the plastic fitting from one end of the cable, so the other stays attached to a white plastic fitting. This can be done by using the Allen key you have received with your fiber optic cable kit, meant for loosening the screw that keeps the fiber optic cable's end attached to the fitting (image a).
- Page 3 c) Carefully but firmly insert the black adaptor inside the proper fitting in front of the strobe's slave sensor. • Sea & Sea Strobes- Insert the adaptor into the bottom grommet on the strobe, right beneath the strobe's bulb, so that the adaptor's screw doesn't get in its way. Insert it all the way to the end, and do not force once you encounter any resistance (image c).

The white plastic fitting normally comes with the Velcro tape attached and therefore you are only required to apply the other side of the Velcro strip on the housing to receive it (images e...
