Sync cords are comparably priced to fiber optic cords and are equally durable.
#Canon powershot g1 x mark ii mark 2 manual
Whether in TTL or manual exposure, use of an electrical sync cord eliminates the issues of signal interference, inconsistent exposure due to weak fiber optic transmission, and false triggering caused by light rays bouncing off the water's surface or your buddy's flash going off. Non-Ikelite strobes may be connected to this bulkhead using a compatible sync cord, however the housing's circuitry will not receive power and the strobes will operate in manual exposure modes only. In order to communicate with the camera, compatible Ikelite DS strobes must be connected to the housing's electrical bulkhead using a single or dual TTL sync cord. The Ikelite-style electrical bulkhead is widely recognized as the most reliable waterproof strobe sync connection available. The camera's flash will not fire, eliminating the shutter lag associated with waiting for the camera's flash to recycle. When connected via this circuitry, the camera learns that an external flash is attached and is able to more accurately adjust exposure by knowing this. TTL may be accomplished directly through electrical signals from the camera, or indirectly through watching the behavior of the camera's built-in flash.Ĭircuitry built into this housing allows the camera to communicate directly with compatible underwater strobes (see Strobe Compatibility section below). TTL or "Through-The-Lens" flash metering means the strobe interprets information from the camera to control flash duration and properly expose an image. We continue to provide service of this product even though it has been discontinued. This product has been replaced with the fully updated Underwater TTL Housing for Canon PowerShot G1X Mark II (Updated). W e have no remaining new, blemished, or used inventory. This housing is out of stock and permanently out of production.
