1. Introduction

The Remora Flash has been especially designed for compact

digital housings. It is a slave flash which triggers in sync with

the camera’s internal flash, and features 4 different pre-flash

settings, to cover the needs of all compact digital cameras in

the market. The Remora Flash has a guide number of 20, and

therefore compatible for both macro and wide angle shots.

The power output can be manually adjusted to provide the

most accurate amount of light in all conditions and a short

recycle time ensures quick responsiveness even when using

the maximum power output. The Remora Flash also features a

built-in Y-S Mount for attaching a focus light on top of the

flash, sparing the need for an additional arm.

4. Installing and Removing Batteries

A. Make sure that the power switch is set to the OFF (0)

position.

B. Turn the back door of the flash counterclockwise until it

can be removed.

C. To open the battery compartment, gently slide the knob on

the battery compartment door all the way to the left. Once

the knob is positioned to the left, the battery compartment

door can be removed. Carefully pull it out, using extra

caution not to damage the flange on the left side of the

battery compartment door.

D. Install 4 new or freshly charged batteries according to the

+ and - marks. Make sure that you are inserting the

batteries in the correct direction. Do not mix new and old

or different types of batteries as this may lead to an over-

discharge of the weaker battery, resulting in gassing or

leaking of fluid from the battery.

E. Reinstall the battery compartment door. Start by inserting

the flange on the door to the left side of the battery

compartment, aligning the markings on the battery

compartment door with those on the left side of the battery

compartment, and proceed by carefully pushing the door

against the batteries. Once the door is properly aligned,

gently slide the knob to the right side in order to secure

the closure. Make sure that once you stop applying

pressure on the battery compartment door, it remains

closed.

F. Turn the flash on by setting the power switch to the ON (I)

position. If batteries were installed properly, the Ready

Light should turn on after a few seconds.

G. When the Ready Light is on, the flash can be tested by

turning the power switch to TEST ( ). Make sure to set

the power switch to OFF (O) after the test.

5. Setting the Proper Pre-Flash Program for Your Camera

Please note that watching the Remora Flash fire does not

mean it triggers on the right timing. If it is not synchronized

with your camera, this will usually result in underexposed

images.

What are Pre-Flashes?

Pre-flashes are one or more flashes given out to assist in the

focusing and exposure setting of the camera before the actual

picture-taking primary flash is fired. It is important to set the

Do not allow any drops of water to enter the battery compartment

when installing or removing batteries.

Remora to the correct pre-flash setting so it fires in sync with

the primary flash of the camera.

The Remora Flash features 4 different pre-flash settings:

0 –For cameras with no pre-flash

1 –For cameras with 1 pre-flash (and cameras with rapid-fire

pre-flash)

2 –For cameras with 2 pre-flashes

3 –For cameras with 3 pre-flashes

4 –For cameras with 4 pre-flashes

In order to properly synchronize it with your camera, you

should first determine which pre-flash program on the Remora

Flash is the most suitable with your camera's internal flash:

A. Place your digital camera in front of the Remora Flash

within a distance of approximately 1 meter, so they are

facing each other.

B. Set your camera built-in flash to ON.

C. Turn the Remora Flash on by setting the power switch to

ON (I).

D. Start with the pre-flash set to “4” and take a picture. If

the strobe does not fire, move the pre-flash to the next

setting downward and take another picture. Repeat until

the strobe fires, and this will be the correct setting. Do

not set the pre-flash to any lower value.

Settings

E. Slide the pre-flash setting knob to the proper position,

according to your testing results. Please note that as long

as you are using the Remora Flash with the same

camera, there is no need to perform this test again and

the pre-flash setting knob should be left in the same

position.

F. Turn off the Remora Flash by setting the power switch to

OFF (O).

6. Closing the Back Port of the Remora Flash

A. Prior to each closure of the back port cap, the Gasket seal

and O-ring, positioned on the cap, should be visually

inspected. If there is any debris present, including dirt,

sand, dust, hair, grease or other matter, they must be

cleaned to insure a proper watertight seal. Cleaning the

Gasket seal or O-ring is a simple matter of wiping it with a

damp, soft cloth to remove the foreign matter. Be careful

the cloth you use does not leave any of its own material

behind, as this can also affect the effectiveness of the seal.

B. Please note that while the O-ring should be

periodically lubricated, the Gasket Seal is a face-to-

face compression seal and is not subject to friction.

Therefore, the Gasket seal should not be lubricated.

Lubricating it might interfere with the watertight

seal of the flash.

C. It is recommended to apply a slight layer of silicone on the

O-ring only. Please note that the amount of lubrication

required on the O-ring is only enough to allow it to slip into

place without friction, so it does not twist or become

dislodged. More grease is not better, and could in some

cases interfere with the watertight seal of the flash.

D. When replacing any of the seals, place them back into the

same groove you have taken them out of. Be sure they are

completely positioned in the channel for a proper seal.

E. Reinstall the back port

cap by turning it

clockwise until you

encounter resistance

and the arrow on the

back door is aligned with

the arrow on the flash

(see illustration). Please

do not continue

screwing the back door further than this point, as this will

make it difficult to unscrew it after the dive. Make sure that

nothing is jamming the closing of the door and in any

respect, do not dive with the strobe if the back door is not

closed properly.

F. After closing the back port of the Remora Flash, always

test the flash in a shallow water pool prior to diving with it,

in order to verify that it is perfectly watertight sealed.

Make sure no bubbles are escaping from it and that no

water is entering.

7. Mounting the Remora Flash on a Flex or Ball & Joint Arm

A. Remove the screw from the Y-S Connector at the bottom of

the Remora Flash by unscrewing it all the way out.

B. Position the Remora Flash on top of the Flex or Ball & Joint

Arm Set so that the Y-S Mount on top of the arm is aligned

with the Y-S Connector at the bottom of the flash.

C. Install the screw all the way through the Remora Flash

and arm. Tighten it enough to keep the Remora Flash in a

fixed position.

8. Taking Photographs with the Remora Flash

A. Turn the Remora Flash on by setting the power switch to

ON (I).

B. Position the flash in a way that it is pointed at your

subject. Also, make sure that nothing blocks the slave

sensor at the bottom of the flash, so it can synchronize

with your camera’s internal flash.

C. Set your camera built-in flash to ON (“flash always”).

D. Take a photograph by pushing the shutter-release button

of the camera. The camera’s built-in flash fires and triggers

the Remora Flash as well.

E. Adjust the output of the Remora Flash by turning the

output control on the flash (10-100%) to achieve the

desired exposure in your photograph.

F. Please note that the output control also serves as the lid of

the pressure release valve located underneath. In case of

battery leak and accumulating gases, this control will be

automatically pushed out for safety reasons and for

releasing the pressure inside the flash. However, this

knob should never be forcefully removed underwater

as it will cause flooding and irreparable damage to

the Flash.

G. Always shoot pictures with the Ready Light fully lit up.
