Z-240 Main

Functions

The Z-240

is

designed and manufactured

to

be

a high perfo

rm

ance, multi-function

underwater strobe with features such as "S-TTL Auto

",

"wireless connection"

capability without using a fiber optics, high-intensity power LED underwater light

providing 1801umen/20° coxerage, "Manual + TTL Auto" mode and several others

explained in summary below.

"S-TTL

Auto

"

Flash

Mode

By optically connecting to pre-flash type digital cameras (with

an

"Optical D

Cable" or by "

wi

reless co

nn

ection"), the Z-240 enables

to

shoot

in

"TTL Auto

exposure" supporting a wide range of cameras, regardless of make or

model. The Z-240 carries more sensitive slave sensor comparing

to

existing models enabling highly accurate exposure control.

Slave Strobe Function("

S-TTL

Auto"I "ExternalAuto" Flash Modes)

When connected

to

another (master) strobe, the Z-240 flashes

in

synch with

the master strobe. Connecting to compact digital camera is also employ

slave system to camera's built-in strobe (master strobe).

When connecting to pre-flash type camera, the Z-240 itself automa

ti

ca

ll

y

adjusts for proper exposure

in

IS-TTL AutoJ mode. Other slave flash

modes are !External AutoJ mode, which does not need a strobe control

signal from

th

e camera, and IManualJ mode with 13 adjustable steps of

flash output control.

Wireless Slave

Function

(wireless "S-TTL

Auto

" Flash Mode)

The Z-240 has ultra sensitive slave sensor

to

receive master strobe flash

light without "fiber optics" to support handy wireless slave strobe set-up with

compatible strobe arm. Under wireless circumstance with pre-flash type

digital camera, either of IS-TTL AutoJmode where strobe controls exposure

as like ''TTL Auto

",

I External AutoJ mode where the Z-240 controls flash

output by itself without camera's control orlManualJmode

to

provide 13 step

manual flash adjustment,

is

usable

Light'

The Focus Light has two main functions. First it shines light on the subject,

in

creasing reflectivity/contrast so both Manual and Auto Focusing are easier.

Also, it helps aim the strobe's beam axis

on

or

near the subject.

Th

e Focus

Light uses Cree high-intensity power LED (XR-E "Q5") which

is

useable as

independent diving light providing

1801m

the Focus Light Switch, the Focus

be

set to turn

off automatically

in

about eight seconds if the Focus Light Switch is not pressed

again.

Clear

Compatible

"Clear Photo System" allows the external strobe (Z-240) to

be

When using external strobes,

in

order to automatically adjust the amount

of

flash output

and properly expose the subject, it is necessary to calculate and control the strobe's flash

duration (light output amount) using the following information.

• ISO sensitivity

• Aperture value

• Reflectivity

of

the subject

Of

this information, depending on the method

of

measurement and part

of

the subject

being measured for reflectivity, the methods of automatic flash output adjustment can

be

classified as follows:

1. During exposure the camera meters {measures) in real time

• Subject reflectivity measured

For each of these automatic flash adjustment methods to work, besides a signal

(Continued)

The main reasons are:

• Because pre-flash specifications and protocol have not been standardized

between the camera manufacturers.

• The external strobe to camera signal transmission specifications have not

been standardized between camera manufacturers, and the communication

method used by most

~xist

ing

external strobes has not been adopted in most

digital cameras.

For such camera to have a common

un

iversal auto

li

ght adjustment system, the

fo

ll

owing

are necessary.

1) The external strobe itself must be able to receive the camera's built-in flash, copy

the pre-flash, and then send the camera necessary

in

formation about the subject's

reflectivity in real time without electrical connection.

2) The external strobe itself must, to a certain extent, independently

exe"cu

te

automatic flash adjustment, without reliance

on

the camera's real-time information.

What

is

it?

J

TTL stands for Throuah The Lens that 1s light which passes through the camera lens.

In

order to obtain proper exposure,

of

various methods to measure exposure amount, light

passing through the lens and directly striking the light sensiti

ve

medium/device (silver

halide film,

im

age sensor (CCD) etc.)

is

metered directly; or, metered indirectly if it

is

reflected off the

li

ght sensitive medium/device.

An external strobe using these TTL metering methods of automatic light control

is

called a

"TTL Strobe" and

an

exte

rn

al slave strobe set to synchronize with the master strobe's fla

sh

duration

is

ca

ll

ed a "TTL Slave Strobe

".

For the purposes

of

this Manual, we distinguish between two types

When using two strobes (including the case

where both the camera's strobe and Z-

are directly connected

to

the camera/housing,

since

there

The

strobe connected

to

the

camera/housing (Master) receives control signals directly from the camera and flashes.

At that time, the other (Slave) strobe is activated by the master strobe's flash.

"Master" and "Slave" terms are used when the two strobes have such definite master/slave

relationship.

econnection

example in dual strobe configuration

Basically same strobe model (Z-240) is recommended as an additional strobe.

In

dual strobe configuration

of

Z-240 with other strobes, the strobe output

balance may be different from your intention [e.g

.,

Though you inte

nd

to make

"flat" lighting with the same strobe output from both sides, the left and right

outputs would be imbalance].

This is proper operation caused by differences between Z-240 and other

strobes

in

specifications [Guide number at full flash/flash duration/flash

intensity per unit time].

To adjust flash output balance, it may be necessary to

IT

make flash

compensation on each strobeB ,

IT

attach a "diffuser"B , or

IT

change the

connection method from

ti

onJ B.

Refer to following as our test results for Z-240 with our strobe to understand

each strobe's characteristics, and as the recommended configurations.

Connection

method

There are two methods to connect two strobes. One is to connect each

strobe directly to a camera system ( IOptical DCable Connection I IWireless

Connection I IOptical Cable ConnectionJ or !Electrical Cable Connection I )

a

nd

another is to co

nn

ect one strobe

(-maste

ca

mera system

nd

connect the other strobe

(~slave

strobe) to the master strobe( IOptical D

Characteristic

of

each

connection

Optical D Cable Connection/Wireless Connection/Optical Cable Connection:

Each strobe is connected directly to the camera system and operates

independently. You can turn

OFF

one strobe or operates different flash

modes among dual strobe.

However each strobe is required to be compatible with light adjustment

system or preflash type

of

the came

ra

system.

Optical D Slave Cable Connection:

The input signal of

th

e slave strobe is the flash light

of

the master strobe,

thus the light adjustment system

of

the slave strobe depends

on

th

e light

adjustment system

of

the master strobe.

The slave strobe will not work

if

the master strobe is turned OFF. Also the

slave strobe can work

in

S-TTL only when the master strobe prope

rl

y works

in

S-TTL Auto mode. If the master strobe is compatible with the preflash

type camera system, the slave strobe does not necessarily have to be

compatible.

Electrical cable connection:

Theoretically each strobe should work independently as same as Optical D

Cable Connection/Wireless Connection/Optical Cable Connection.
