About Fiber Optic Cords
Attaching a strobe via fiber optic connection requires the camera’s
built-in flash to fire each time a photo is taken. Firing the camera’s
flash will cause increased lag time in between photos and decrease
camera battery life.
Attaching a Fiber Optic Cord
1.
Check the end of the fiber optic cord to ensure that it is clean and
smooth.
2.
Ensure that the fiber optic cord o-ring is in place. This o-ring does
not provide waterproofing, however it does keep the fiber optic cord
in place.
3.
Attach one end of the fiber optic cord into one of the fiber optic
ports on the front of the housing. The connector is a press-fit into
the fiber optic port.
4.
Attach the other end of the fiber optic cord to a compatible strobe.
5.
Set the strobe to the appropriate setting based on manufacturer
recommendations.
6.
Turn the camera on and pop up the built-in flash.
7.
Turn the strobe(s) on.
8.
Take a test photo to ensure that your strobe(s) are functioning
properly.
Maintenance
Post-Dive
1.
Rinse the housing in fresh water. Rotate the housing’s controls and
press each button while submerged in fresh water to flush out any
salt or debris to ensure smooth operation on future dives.
