IMPORTANT – FOR NIKON USERS

For I-TTL use with NIKON cameras S6 sockets on the flash and the camera are recommended. Connect the main flash (master) always to the left socket – the 2.flash (slave) to the right socket.

If two strobes are used you have to use the dedicated SEACAM

-NIKON digital dual strobe connector (S-N DDSC). This circuit has to be placed inside the housing.

When using 2 flash devices, the master controls the slave. The master is directly connected to the camera (with all 6 wires connected to the camera). It calculates the required energy for the correct exposure and transmits the information by the TTL cable to the slave. The master can operate in TTL(A) or MAN mode, while the slave should always be left in the TTL(A) mode.

If different energy levels are required from the two strobes, in I-TTL mode, the user has to adjust the distance of the two flashes from the subject to achieve the desired effect. In manual mode the user can switch both flash devices to MAN and then manually select the desired energy level steps. Feature When setting the slave to TTL(A) the slave always follows the main strobe in manual mode. If you need different manual settings you have to adjust the devices separately. By using the S-N DDSC circuit in your housing it is still possible to connect an original Nikon SB flash to the left socket on the camera housing. You will keep all features of the system but the slave (SB) will work only in manual mode.

Important SEACAM suggests using two SEAFLASH

150DIGITAL only with the S-N DDSC circuit installed. This system has been fully tested and has been proven to work well. Using different flashes from the ones suggested can result in a damage of the camera and flash devices. Before connecting different flash brands enquire about their compatibility. Attention On rare occasions during normal use the digital camera can lose the communication with the flash. If this happens, switch the camera and the flash off and on again in order to reset the communication between the units. If the
