Optical cable - Countinue shoot!

6 posts
  1. Hi all, i'm going to get nauticam D90 soon and just find out this on youtube

     

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4gRNXfRwsE

     

    This demo show using optical cable connect to 2 inon Z240 with continue shooting. Do any one here try it before specially who using nauticam D90 housing.

     

    I has try it with my D90 Camera and play around but still can't get continue shoot with pop up camera internal flash. Do i need any setting or must be conected with the housing to do that?

     

    This demo is done by canon 7d with inon Z240. Can nikon D90 do that with SnS 110a strobe?

     

    If i using optical to fire the strobe, how do i get the S/speed more then 1/200?

  2. D90 isn't quite as fast, even set to M Flash and 1/128 power, but probably can do about 1 flash per second. DS-TTL works well, though.

     

    It isn't possible to get a shutter speed faster than 1/200 with the camera's flash popped up.

  3. The demo is using two strobes electronically connected with strobe cables not optically connected. Two strobes = twice as much light or uses 1/2 as much of strobe charge = fast recycle time.

  4. The demo is using optical connections, NOT electrical connections, and low power settings intentionally on the camera flash and strobes. This was designed to give our customers an idea on how quickly they could shoot continuously by fiber optic. The Z-240 could keep up with this flash speed at any power output up to half power.

  5. Yap.... Is using optical cable. It is posible in s-ttl mode can do that
