A compact unit that converts the camera's TTL signal to a light signal. The converter can be mounted on the camera's accessory shoe and can be connected to (a) SEA&SEA strobe(s) with Fiber-Optic Cable(s) (*). TTL and manual modes can be switched by pushing the mode switch on the housing.

Advantages of using the Optical YS Converter and not using the camera's built-in flash:

• Risk of water-ingress and flooding via the strobe bulkhead is eliminated.
• The camera's battery will last longer.
• External strobes will fire in accordance with their quickest recycle time.
• No inner reflections from camera's built-in flash.
• Compared with slave TTL, the Optical YS Converter achieves far greater accuracy in TTL exposure/output.
• Optical YS Converter is compatible with SLR cameras that do not have a built-in flash.

Controls:

• Power ON/Power OFF/TTL mode (indicated by blue lamp)/Manual mode (indicated by green lamp)
• Remaining battery level is indicated by flashing LED lamp.
• Auto Power Off:  The converter will automatically power off if the shutter lever or the mode switch is not activated for more than one hour.   The converter can be re-activated by pressing the mode switch.

• Power Source 2 x AAA battery (Alkaline: 3.0V / Ni-MH: 2.4V)
  Alkaline: 15 hours / Mi-MH: 12 hours
• Construction: Aluminum alloy (case)
