Overview / Product Description
Nauticam TTL Converter for Nikon DSLR Cameras
Compatible with NA-D850, NA-D5, NA-D500, NA-Z7, NA-Z7II Housings with Sea & Sea YS-D and Inon Strobes
Remove the standard, manual LED flash trigger and pop in a Nauticam TTL Converter for Nikon featuring the exact same physical form factor, but electronic TTL conversion electronics for automatic flash control. This is a user-installable upgrade!
Both optical and electrical triggering is integrated into this converter and the mode you use depends largely on the flash connected. It is recommended that optical triggering is preferred when used with a compatible flash and recommend fiber-optic connection with;
- Inon Z-330 strobes
- Inon D-200 strobes
- Inon Z-240 strobes
- Inon D-2000 strobes
- Inon S-2000 strobes
- Sea & Sea YS-D1 strobes
- Sea & Sea YS-D2 strobes
- Sea & Sea YS-D2J strobes
- Sea & Sea YS-D3 strobes
- Sea & Sea YS-D3 II strobes
- Sea & Sea YS-D3 DUO strobes
- Retra Pro
- Mini Flash 1
- Mini Flash 2
- Hybrid Flash
These electronics are smart! There is no power switch and the electronics automatically enter sleep mode when the attached camera is not being used. Battery life is measured in the tens of thousands of flashes.
Support for Sea & Sea YS-250 and Ikelite DS-160 / DS-161 will be supported in future product releases. These strobes have radically different discharge profiles, requiring updated software that is currently in development. They also lack optical TTL triggering, requiring an electrical sync cable connection.
Is this product compatible with previous Nauticam Nikon housings?
No, see the UW Technics TTL Converter.
Will this TTL Converter be compatible with future strobes?
Unfortunately, that depends... There are differences in how quickly some external strobes can start and stop emitting light and that has to be accounted for in the TTL Converter software. Ikelite DS-160 and Sea & Sea YS-250 will require a different converter, with different software profiles, that will not be compatible with the strobes listed in this TTL Converter.
Is manual flash possible?
Yes, and there are lots of ways to disable TTL. Likely the easiest way is to simply flick the switch on the external strobes from TTL to Pre-Flash Manual modes... Alternatively, manual flash can be set by turning on "Auto FP" mode in the camera menu, or by setting a dip switch on the converter PCB.
Is Flash Exposure Compensation available?
Yes. Flash EV Comp can be set in the camera menu or can be set on the flash head with some external flashes.
