6.
Use the screwdriver included in order to tighten the screw on the adaptor (image #22). Tighten it
enough to stabilize the fiber optic cable inside the adaptor, but don't tighten it too strongly.
Tightening the screw too much might damage the
fiber optic cable.
7.
Once the fiber optic cable has been installed on the
Fiber Optic Cable Plate, install the Fiber Optic Cable
Plate by inserting it inside the dedicated slot on the
housing and pushing it all the way in.
8. When installed on the housing, the Fiber Optic Cable
Plate blocks the internal camera flash, so only the
external slave flash illuminates the subject. This
diminishes the effects of backscatter, as well as eliminates any shadowing effect caused by housing
lens port, especially when lens accessories are mounted on the housing.
4. Follow the instructions in your strobe manual on how to synchronize your camera with the external
strobe and to select the proper pre-flash program for your camera. It is recommended to test the
synchronization when photographing opposite a mirror. In this case, the output of both the built-in
camera flash and the strobe should be visible in the test shot taken.
5. When attaching Sea&Sea fiber optic cables to the housing, housing adaptors should first be
removed off the fiber optic cable plate. This can be done by gently pulling them out from the front
side of the plate, using the aid of a small needle nose set of pliers. Make sure not to damage the
fiber optic cable. It's recommended to apply some silicone grease on the small o-rings of these
adaptors, so they can be installed and removed more easily. Sea&Sea fiber optic cables feature an
adaptor that fits right inside the fiber optic cable plate. Simply push the adaptor featured at the end
of the cable into the dedicated slots on the front side of the plate, instead of the adaptors you've
just pulled out, till they are fully fitted inside. Gently pull the fiber optic cable in order to make sure
that it doesn't come off easily.
