Flash
Socket
The
flash socket
is
located
in
the came
ra
's
baseplate
just
below the anatomical grip. Use a coin to unscrew
the
flash socket cover@. Like the battery chamber
cover,
it
has
an
O-ring
to
make
it
watertight. Once the
cover is removed,
electric
al
connection between the
camera and the Nikonos
Speedlight SB-10
3,
SB
-102
or
8B-101
can
be
made with the coiled sync cord.
Since the
Nik
onos-
V's
flash socket provides X-sync
only, flash units using flashbulbs cannot
be
used.
An
opt
io
nal sync cord allows other Nikon speedlights
to
be
used with the Nikonos-V
on
land.

.After
each underwater shooting session, examine the
flash socket cover's
O-ring and apply lubrication if
necessary_ See "PREPARATION"
on
page 7 for more
information_
•
Whenever a sync cord is not being used, be sure the
flash socket cover is screwed tightly into place;
if
water
seeps past, it will be almost impossible
to
remove_
If
water does enter the flash socket, contact an authorized
Nikon dealer or service center immediately or corrosion
may
damage the electrical contacts
and
circuitry_
