Instruction Manual

Introduction

Most underwater slave strobes are capable of
synchronizing with the camera internal flash
without any cables under certain diving
conditions. They feature a slave sensor that
triggers the strobe to fire in sync with the camera
internal flash, as long as the strobe and the
camera are positioned on the same axis and as
long as there is not much ambient light available.

However, if the strobe slave sensor isn’t pointed

directly at the camera internal flash, or when photographing during daylight, in clear water
and bright conditions, the slave sensor might fail recognizing the output of the camera
internal flash.
Connecting the Nano Fiber Optic Cable between the camera internal flash and the slave
strobe ensures full synchronization in all angles and diving conditions.

Instructions for Use

1. Attaching the Fiber Optic Cable to the Slave Strobe

a. 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 (figure A).
Insert the exposed end of the fiber optic cable
(the end without the fitting) into the small hole
of the adaptor unit, starting from the end that
features a screw and pushing it towards the end
that features an O-ring, until the fiber optic cable reaches the end of the
adaptor.

b. Use the tool you have received with your fiber optic cable kit in order to

tighten the screw on the adaptor. 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.

c. Carefully but firmly insert the black adaptor inside the proper fitting in front

of the strobe's slave sensor.
If attaching the fiber optic cable to the
Fantasea Nano Flash (Cat. No. 6115), install
the black and clear plastic diffuser cover on the
Nano Flash Housing, if it isn't already
assembled. Insert the black adaptor inside the
lower right grommet (the one with the wider
hole) of the black diffuser cover, so that the
adaptor screw doesn't get in its way. Insert it
all the way to the end, and do not use force
once you encounter any resistance (figure B).

2. Attaching the Fiber Optic Cable to the Camera Housing

a. If attaching the Fiber Optic Cable to a

Fantasea FP7000 Housing or any other
housing that features a dedicated fiber optic
cable attachment configuration (figure C),
please refer the housing instruction manual
for specific instructions regarding attaching
the fiber optic cable to the camera housing.
If attaching the Fiber Optic Cable to any other
standard camera housing, please follow the instructions below.
