vii. It is preferable to totally block out the internal flash of the camera after
attaching the camera side of the cable by applying black electrical tape over
the fiber optic connector attached to the housing case. This effectively
achieves two things: it diminishes the effects of backscatter, as well as
eliminates any shadowing effect caused by lens accessories mounted on the
housing lens port. Removing the built-in flash diffuser will have no affect on
lighting.
viii. In some cases, after using the fiber optic cable frequently or for a long period,
you might encounter a decrease in performance. You can easily solve this

tool and performing a very straight angled cut. This allows you to remove any
worn ends and to expose a new portion of the cable.

program found most compatible with your camera (section e).
ii. Position the flash in a way that it is pointed at your subject. Also, if a fiber

slave sensor, so the Nano Flash can synchronize with your camera internal
flash.
iii. Set your camera built-in flash to ON (“flash always”).
iv. Take a photograph by pushing the shutter-release button of the camera. The
camera built-in flash fires and triggers the Nano Flash as well. Always take
photographs with the Ready Light fully lit up.
v. Adjust the output of the Nano Flash by turning the Power Output Control to
achieve the desired exposure in your photograph.
vi. Removable Flash Diffusers: It is highly recommended to install a diffuser
when shooting wide angle or extreme macro images. In wide angle
photography, the diffuser can be used in order to spread the light more evenly
and in a way that it covers a greater angle. In macro photography, the diffuser
