Product #: #11031-HSS-Z9
The UW Technics HSS-TTL Converter for Nikon cameras, designed specifically for Nauticam underwater housings, stands out as a pivotal accessory for photographers aiming to capture the underwater world with precision and brilliance.
Understanding TTL and HSS in Underwater Photography
Before delving into the specifics of the converter, it's essential to grasp the concepts of TTL (Through-The-Lens) metering and HSS (High-Speed Sync) in the context of underwater photography.
Through-The-Lens (TTL) Metering
TTL metering allows the camera to measure the light that passes through the lens, ensuring optimal exposure by adjusting the flash output accordingly. In underwater settings, where lighting conditions can be unpredictable and challenging, TTL ensures that subjects are neither overexposed nor underexposed, capturing the scene as naturally as possible.
High-Speed Sync (HSS)
HSS enables photographers to use flash at shutter speeds higher than the camera's native sync speed, typically around 1/200th of a second. This feature is particularly beneficial when shooting fast-moving marine life or when trying to achieve specific creative effects, such as balancing ambient light with flash to highlight subjects against sunlit backgrounds.
