Using the Fiber Optic 

Cable 

 

with the Nano Flash

 

 
Thank you for purchasing a Fantasea Line Nano Slave Flash. We 

hope the following instructions will assist you in assembling a 

Fiber Optic Cable to work with your Nano Flash and that you will 

have many excellent underwater images using the Fantasea Line 

Nano Flash. 

 

The Nano Flash is capable of synchronizing with the camera's internal flash 
without a fiber optic cable in most diving conditions. It has a slave sensor that 

triggers the Nano Flash to fire along with the camera's internal flash, as long 

as the Nano Flash 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 Nano Flash 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.
