Step 2 – Attaching the Fiber Optic Cable to the Camera Housing
a) The other end of the fiber optic cable attaches to the outside of the camera
housing ‐ opposite the camera's internal flash ‐ by using both sides of the
Velcro strip included in the kit. The white plastic fitting normally comes with
the Velcro tape attached and therefore you are only required to apply the
other side of the Velcro strip on the housing to receive it (figures E and F). If
your housing features a built‐in flash diffuser, the Velcro strip should be
attached beneath it, directly to the housing. If possible, place the Velcro strip
between the built in flash diffuser and the housing, positioned opposite the
internal flash of the camera.
b) It is preferable to totally block out the internal flash of the camera after
attaching the camera side of the cable by putting 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
avoiding any shadowing effect while using wide angle or macro accessory
lenses. Removing the built‐in flash diffuser will have no affect on lighting.
