Backscatter: How to Use High Speed Sync Underwater
Backscatter: How to Use High Speed Sync Underwater

RichN · Wednesday at 03:03 AM3 days

Originally Posted on Backscatter. By James Emery. Photo: James Emery / Backscatter Backscatter has published a how-to, and a short video, on high speed sync underwater. James Emery walks through when it is worth using, and when a normal flash is the better tool. Most cameras sync a strobe only to about 1/200 or 1/250 second. Past that, a normal flash can leave a dark band because the shutter is only a slit. High speed sync, also called focal plane sync, pulses the strobe through the exposure s

Backscatter Nauticam MFO-1, MFO-3, & SMC-3 Underwater Macro Lens Review
Backscatter Nauticam MFO-1, MFO-3, & SMC-3 Underwater Macro Lens Review

RichN · October 22Oct 22

James Emery at Backscatter has published a review and a field video of three Nauticam wet lenses that mount on the same macro port: the MFO-1, the SMC-3, and the MFO-3II. All three are 67mm lenses, so on a flip holder you can move among them on one dive without changing the camera lens. They do different jobs. The MFO-1 is the everyday optic: a little magnification, and a shorter focus range so autofocus stops hunting the water column. The SMC-3 is the super-macro lens, about 2.3:1, for the sma

Cozumel Officials Clarify Customs Treatment of Dive Computers and Underwater Camera Housings

RichN · September 21Sep 21

Underwater camera housings traveling with their corresponding cameras are to be treated as photographic accessories, while dive computers are to be classified as sporting equipment, according to Cozumel tourism officials following meetings with Mexican Customs. Broader questions about strobes, ports, wet lenses and whether the interpretation applies throughout Mexico remain unresolved.
