Fixed Ball Base

A good underwater photo needs a good underwater flash! With the new version of the YS-D2 Sea&Sea has once again improved its lightest flash. The TTL function has been reworked once again. Now you can concentrate on what really matters: Your creativity!  The color temperature of at 5600 Kelvin (5250K with diffuser). With its recharge time after a flash to full load of 1.5 seconds, the YS-D2 J is particularly fast. Excellent visibility at night The illuminated control panel is ideal for night diving. The color of the illumination ächanges to indicate the mode: aqua blue (in DS-TTL mode), blue (in slave TTL mode), orange (in manual pre-flash mode) and green (in manual mode without pre-flash). You can üt check which mode the strobe is set to even under pitch black conditions. In slave TTL mode   In manual pre-flash mode   In manual mode without pre-flash Powerful flash with short recycling time The YS-D2 is powerful enough to illuminate a wide area, even in very bright conditions with lots of natural sunlight. For macro shooting where subtle exposure control is required, manual mode can be easily selected and the light level adjusted. Recycling time is only 1.5 seconds (when nickel hydride AA batteries are used.) DS-TTL ll automatic exposure control with improved accuracy and stability The DS-TTL ll automatic exposure control system developed by Seea&Sea has been further improved. Detailed tuning of light exit timing and the addition of the light emission detection function have significantly improved the accuracy of automatic TTL exposure. Previously, TTL photography with the lens aperture wide open was difficult (maximum aperture) and images were likely to be üoverexposed. It is now possible to use a low-power flash, so proper exposure can be easily achieved with the YS-D2 J.   In DS-TTL II mode The f-stop control can fine-tune the amount of light By controlling the actual flash light level, the flash achieves accurate exposure compensation with f-stop correction. Since the exposure compensation range has improved to +/- 2.0 f-stops, users can focus on capturing even more creative images. (-2.0EV, -1.5EV, -1EV, -0.7EV, -0.3EV, +0.3EV, +0.7EV, +1EV, +1.5EV, +2.0EV). Two diffusers and red filters included with the strobe as standard By attaching one of the included diffusers, the beam angle is increased to 100° or 120° (circular) with a soft and even light. The red pilot light filter helps to avoid disturbing or even scaring away creatures that would likely react to normal light. The red filter can be installed and removed in the diffuser passages.

When in use (pilot switch in the ON position), the light is automatically turned off when the flash is turned off and turns back on automatically after 0.5 seconds. Ergonomically improved controls The handling is significantly improved. Larger knobs and a new magnetic rotary switch prevent accidental resetting of the controls during operation. With the new controls, quick operation is possible when sudden photo opportunities arise. Custom mode is a new innovation that allows the YS-D2 to be compatible with cameras that have non-standard pre-flash settings. Some manufacturers use their own pre-flash timings for their cameras. The new custom function allows the YS-D2 to be compatible with cameras with non-standard pre-flash settings in DS-TTLII and manual modes Attaching the YS-D2 The flash can be attached to an arm using the YS mount or the ball mount (ball mount is included). Choosing the right cable Choose either a fiber optic cable (optional) or a sync cable (optional) to connect the flash, depending on your camera and housing. A fiber optic cable is required to use the DS-TTL ll function.
