UW Technics is shipping their TTL converter for Panasonic mirrorless cameras. Capable of providing both electrical and optical outputs (when used with appropriate bulkheads), the circuit is designed to be user-installed into Nauticam housings. It is powered from the camera’s hotshoe and can be used in both TTL and manual modes with many Inon, Sea$Sea, Ikelite and Subtronic strobes.

The UW Technics TTL converter for PANASONIC mirrorless cameras is shipping now, priced at $380.

Combined circuit

The combined circuit, consisting of Optical TTL and Electrical TTL system is on a single board with both triggering methods available both separately or simultaneously.

Optical output

Onboard powerful LED system maintains fine accuracy of TTL control via fiber optical cables. Photographer can relax and rely on automatic flash exposure control. Optional electric bulkheads

The electric bulkhead with MicroMatch connector is available in 3 variants: Nikonos-V, Ikelite style, S6 style. It can be easily connected to an onboard socket. Dual electric cables (Sea&Sea, Ikelite) at this TTL output are supported.

TTL Accuracy

The newest firmware contains an accurate TTL curve for each strobe type: Z330 / Z240, D2000, DS-161 / 160, YS-D1, YS-D2, YS-250, Pro-270. Strobe type can be easily set by onboard 10-position rotary switch.

No onboard battery required

TTL Converter #11076 does not need an onboard battery or mechanical On/Off switch. The product has microcurrent consumption from camera hotshoe pin.

Easy User Installation

Installation is very easy for users and takes around 15 sec. Full instructions are supplied with the circuit.

Comfortable control via camera menu

TTL circuit is fully controllable via camera menu, including TTL / M switching, 2nd Curtain mode, +/- Flash Exposure Compensation, Flash Off, etc.

Special feature: Manual flash settings for underwater strobe via camera scale

TTL circuit firmware has a special module, which allows the user to adjust underwater strobe light intensity manually via camera scale 1/64 ….. Full. Photographer does not need to operate dial switches on the strobe body; he can keep hands on the housing, switch M mode and set flash intensity by camera controls, comfortably shooting in M mode.
