You leave nothing to chance and try to capture as much as possible with your underwater camera. For yourself, your family, your friends, but also for that one unique shot. And for that exceptional shot, you need the right underwater lighting. And that's why you need this Sea &amp; Sea YS-D3 DUO underwater flash. It puts you in complete control of your underwater exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to high-precision electronics, the YS-D3 DUO underwater flash unit is able to perform optimally in any situation. The Sea &amp; Sea YS-D3 DUO flash unit has a guide number of no less than 33 and a maximum exposure angle of 110\u00b0 as standard. This way, you always have a huge amount of light underwater. The two-step charging time of the flash gives you the opportunity to continuously flash without restrictions in special circumstances.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nModern, fast and powerful.<br \/>\n<\/strong>The ultra-modern electronics in the YS-D3 DUO are capable of producing a flash of light with a guide number of 33 in an extremely short time. Using the uniquely newly developed, high-precision aspherical optical triode lens placed over the two flash tubes, the light is spread evenly from the centre to the edges. This creates an unprecedented and tightly even exposure across the entire shooting area. The exposure angle of the flash without using a diffuser is 105\u00b0 x 80\u00b0. With the supplied standard diffuser, this is increased to 110\u00b0 x 100\u00b0. When the optional dome diffuser (#28116) is used, exposure angle is approximately 170\u00b0 x 150\u00b0.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Capture all moments at high speed thanks to superior continuous-flash technology.<br \/>\n<\/strong>The YS-D3 DUO uses capacitors with a larger capacity than is usual in underwater flash units.  In addition, the Sea &amp; Sea YS-D3 DUO is equipped with a newly designed charging circuit. As a result, the YS-D3 DUO can flash continuously with a guide number of 16 without any interval time. And when used with a guide number of 22, the flash is ready for use again and again within just 0.6 seconds. The YS-D3 DUO has a two-step charge signal. When a flash power above the guide number 22 is requested from the YS-D3 DUO, the charging signal is output in two steps. After firing the flash at full power of guide number 33, the flash unit will emit a signal both visibly and audibly to let you know that it is already ready to shoot the next shot at a guide number of 22. And once the condensers are sufficiently charged to flash at a guide number of 33, a second, different signal, will be emitted. This technology allows you to take shots at speeds that previously seemed almost impossible. That way, you won't miss a moment!<\/p>\n<p class=\"h5\"><strong>Shooting in RC mode<br \/>\n<\/strong>When shooting in RC mode with an OM SYSTEMS (OLYMPUS) camera, no custom settings are required. Select \"RC mode shooting\" in the flash mode setting on the camera side; YS-D3 DUO must be set to \"RC\" for shooting mode.<\/p>\n<p>*For more information on shooting in RC mode, refer to the user manual of the camera to be used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Directional lamp as diving lamp.<br \/>\n<\/strong>The YS-D3 DUO is equipped with a manually switched aiming\/focusing lamp. This allows you to accurately align the flash to the subject. This prevents mistakes at times when you can't afford them. In addition, the underwater camera can focus easier and often faster by using the flash's auxiliary light. This too contributes to better control over your underwater shots.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its uniquely designed aluminium reflector, this directional flashlight is so powerful that it could even function as a diving flashlight. And if you think that's too much, you dim it to less power with one push of the \"glow in the dark\" button on the back of the torch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Illuminated display of settings.<br \/>\n<\/strong>The YS-D3 DUO flash unit is equipped with coloured display backlighting. When shooting in dark conditions, it is possible to read settings, such as flash power and mode setting, particularly well. The colour of the display on the back of the Sea &amp; Sea YS-D3 DUO changes each time the mode switch setting is changed. Blue (in DS-TTLII mode), light blue (in slave-TTL mode), orange (in manual mode with pre-flash) and green (in manual mode without pre-flash)<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Optical or electronic.<br \/>\n<\/strong>The YS-D3 DUO underwater flash unit offers the choice of being used in combination with an underwater camera which controls the underwater flash unit optically via the fibre-optic cable. Or electronically via the sync cable connected to the underwater housing. At the front on the bottom of the underwater strobe is the slave receiver to connect the fibre-optic cable, which transmits the signal from the internal strobe of the camera. On the side is a 2nd connector to connect a 2nd fibre-optic cable to optically control an additional flash.<\/p>\n<p>The electronic connector is at the bottom on the back of the flash unit. It is the classic Sea &amp; Sea 5pin-S connector, which works with the Sea &amp; Sea Syncro cable #17100 to connect a single flash unit. Or with the Sea &amp; Sea DUAL syncro cable # 03470 to control two flash units at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>For flash control, Sea &amp; Sea has a newly designed Manual Flash Trigger and electronic YS converter, which can be optionally mounted in the underwater housing.<\/p>\n<p><em>(* If the YS-D3 is used with a camera with built-in flash in the housing, use only the original SEA &amp; SEA fibre-optic cables (#50128 Fiber Optic Cable Medium \/ #50123 Fiber Optic Cable Large \/ #50135 Fiber Optic Cable Small). Sea &amp; Sea flash units, especially in functions such as automatic TTL exposure, may not work or may not work correctly when using non-original cables).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ball Mount<br \/>\n<\/strong>For connecting the flash to an arm system or underwater housing, the universal straight ball connection is included in the package as standard.<\/p>\n<p>Optionally, the classic Sea &amp; Sea YS connection is available. (Item: #12662 YS-Mount &amp; Screw system) This gives easier vertical adjustment of the flash. Or the new diagonal ball connection at an angle of 35\u00b0, making it easier to position the flash further back, making it more suitable for use with a Dome Port. Also, when the flash is electronically controlled using the sync cable, there is less tension on the cable with this diagonal ball connection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Specifications:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Guide number (ISO 100\/m country): 33 (When using the standard diffuser: 28).<\/li>\n<li>Exposure angle: 105\u00b0 x 80\u00b0 (without diffuser), (When using the standard diffuser 110\u00b0 x 100\u00b0)<\/li>\n<li>Batteries: 4 x AAA: 6V - Ni-MH: 4.8V<\/li>\n<li>Number of flashes: Alkaline: 140 - Ni-MH: 220 (*1)<\/li>\n<li>Recycle time (full discharge): Alkaline: 3.5 sec. - Ni-MH: 1.7 sec (*2)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>(*1)The number of flashes and recycle time depend on the battery brand, temperature and frequency of use).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>(*2) Flash count and recycle time of Ni-MH batteries were tested on 2500 MAh batteries).<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Colour temperature: 5800 K.<\/li>\n<li>Colour temperature with standard diffuser: 5500 K.<\/li>\n<li>Maximum depth: 100 metres.<\/li>\n<li>Dimensions (WxHxD): 92 x 111 x 147mm (excluding ball connection)<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 610 grams (without batteries) (excluding ball connection)<\/li>\n<li>Buoyancy: Approximately -20 grams, negative (incl. batteries and ball connection)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exposure settings: DS-TTL II, Slave TTL, Manual Light Volume Control Knob (GN): 1 \/ 1.4 \/ 2 \/ 2.8 \/ 4 \/ 5.6 \/ 8\/11\/16\/22\/33 (11 steps)<\/li>\n<li>RC Mode<\/li>\n<li>DS-TTL II Slave function<\/li>\n<li>Automatic switch-off function after 30min<\/li>\n<li>Electronic connection for: Syncro Cable 5-pin syncro cable\/N, (#17100) or DUO Syncro Cable (#03470).<\/li>\n<li>Optical connector for: Fibre optic cable (#50128 Fiber Optic Cable Medium \/ #50123 Fiber Optic Cable Large \/ #50135 Fiber Optic Cable Small)<\/li>\n<li>Safety valve<\/li>\n<li>LED aim\/focus lamp (adjustable in 2 steps)<\/li>\n<li>Dual audio signal during flash charging when ready to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Retail price: \u20ac 879 incl V.A.T.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Delivery time: available from stock.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Optional accessories for the YS-D3 DUO:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dome diffuser for YS-D3 DUO (#28116)<br \/>\n<\/strong>The optional dome diffuser increases the exposure angle to 170\u00b0\u00d7150\u00b0.
