Use of a second 

External

SeaLife Flash.

10

In order to avoid shadows and to further intensify
brightness and color, you may mount a second
identical flash.  Remove the attachment knobs from
both flashes.  Place the attachment knob through
both base mounting brackets and into camera.
Make sure all set pins and holes are lined up.
Rotate both flash heads to point in the direction of
the subject.  This double-flash system can also be
used with the SeaLife Macro lenses at a distance of
8” to 48” (20 cm - 120 cm).  At closer distances or
with ambient sunlight, you may overflash.  Avoid
reflective, bright objects.  A good way to avoid this
is by illuminating the background with the second
flash (aim behind the subject), while the first flash is
aimed directly at the subject.

This double-flash system 

can also be used with the

Macro 3X Close-up Lens

Attaching two external flash

units is easy and pictures will

be even more colorful!
