Fantasea Fiber Optic Cable Guida

Sea & Sea and Nano Strobes FO 201107

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.

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). Store the

removed plastic fitting in a safe place for possible future use.

b) You end up with a fiber optic cable exposed on one end and

attached to a white plastic fitting on the other (image b).

Step 2 - Attaching the Fiber Optic Cable to the Nano or Sea & Sea

Strobe

a) Insert the exposed end of the fiber optic cable (the end without

the fitting) into the small hole of the adaptor unit 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.

•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).

•Nano Flash- 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'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 d).

Step 3 – Attaching the Fiber Optic Cable to the Camera Housing

a) The other end of the fiber optic cable attaches to the outside of

the camera housing - opposite the camera's internal flash - by

using both sides of the Velcro strip included in the kit. 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

and f). If your housing features a built-in flash diffuser, the

Velcro strip should be attached beneath it, directly to the

housing. If possible, place the Velcro strip between the built in

flash diffuser and the housing, positioned opposite the internal

flash of the camera.

b) It is preferable to totally block out the internal flash of the

camera after attaching the camera side of the cable by putting

black electrical tape over the fiber optic connector attached to

the housing case. This effectively achieves two things: it

diminishes the effects of backscatter, as well as avoiding any

shadowing effect while using wide angle or macro accessory

lenses. Removing the built-in flash diffuser will have no affect

on lighting.

c) Follow the instructions on your Nano Flash or Sea & Sea strobe

manual in order to synchronize your camera with the external

strobe. Please note that different digital cameras have different

pre-flash and flash characteristics, which are compatible with

different strobe modes. It is always a good idea to test the

synchronization when photographing opposite a mirror. In this

case both flash units (the camera and the slave) should be

illuminated when viewing the results of the test shot taken.

Note:

In some cases, after using the fiber optic cable frequently or for a long

period, you might encounter a decrease in performance. You can easily

solve this problem by cutting 1 cm/0.3 inch off the fiber optic cable's

ends, using a sharp tool and performing a very straight angled cut.

This way you remove any worn ends, and expose a new portion of the

cable.
