Built-in Flash and Strobe Use
The optional AF35 strobe triggers and provides automatic TTL exposure
by watching the camera's built-in flash, without the need of fiber optic
cords or sensors. Alternatively, two ports are provided on the front of the
housing for the connection of up to two Ikelite, SEA&SEA, or Olympus
type fiber optic cords.
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's
built-in flash is used. The built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet
(0.3-0.9 m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results, a color
correcting filter or external lighting is recommended. External lighting is
more powerful and can be placed in a position to virtually eliminate the
backscatter or "snow" from your underwater images.
Always install the Flash Deflector when using external strobes,

After you have used the housing's
zoom control, it must be returned to the
center position to disengage. If the
housing zoom control is pushing the
zoom lever in either direction, you may
not be able to take a picture or access
other functions. This is because the
camera is receiving a signal from the
engaged zoom control.
