Special feature for M mode:
Flash intensity adjustment in M mode, using camera wheel and camera scale
TTL circuit firmware has a special module, which allows the photographer to use 3 variants of M mode, including classic method and advanced method as well. Advanced control allows adjusting underwater strobe light intensity manually via camera scale (approximately 1/64 ….. 1/1). This case photographer does not need to operate dial switches on the strobe body, he can just keep hands on the housing, switch M mode and set the flash intensity by camera controls.
TTL Accuracy
Tests showed fantastic TTL accuracy in a wide range of camera settings. The newest firmware contains an accurate TTL profile for each strobe type: Inon Z330, Z240, S2000; Ikelite DS161, DS160; Sea&Sea YS-D1, YS-D2, YS-250; Subtronic Pro-270, Pro-160. Strobe type can be easily set by onboard miniature 10-position rotary switch.
No mechanical switch ON / OFF
UW Technics TTL Converters don’t need any On/Off external switch. The device switches On/Off automatically by camera command. This is a very comfortable feature for the user, he need not think about switching the device and need not have any mechanical switch on the housing.
