It won't be available until probably mid next spring. It looks to be an interesting product and one that divers are asking for. It doesn't use TTL, but a "learned-auto" method, as well as manual modes.

I am curious about this "learned-auto" - do you have any more details on that?

As it was shown to me. You'd shoot a shot at f2 or whatever and then tell it when the exposure was correct. Then it would figure out the other exposures. I might have this wrong, but that's what I came away with. Kind, sorta, but not really, like the Inon Auto mode.

It will shoot in manual

We will be shooting one when it is available.
