Bracket @

As indicated in the diagram there are two positions for
the bracket screw ®; one for Nikonos-V and Nikonos

IV-A and another for the Nikonos III. To reposition the

bracket screw, unscrew it, then screw it back into the
hole or the threaded end of the bracket slot ®. Once
screwed Into the bracket slot, the bracket screw can be
moved to any position.

The larger hole In the center allows the sync cord to be

connected through the bracket to the Nikonos III.

The small hole that goes completely through the bracket

is the sensor holder socket ®. When a plastic frame

finder or optical underwater viewfinder Is mounted on

the camera’s accessory shoe, the optional sensor

holder Is used to attach the Sensor Unit SU-101 to the

speedlight bracket. To attach, align the sensor holder
positioning pin ® on the top 6f the bracket with the hole

Arm ®

To attach the arm to the joint @, insert the arm position

ing screw ® into the slot in the joint from either side.

Align the arm positioning screw with the arm positioning

index @ on the joint by turning the arm 90°. After align
ing the arm positioning screw with the arm positioning
index, turn the joint lever (§) clockwise as far as it will go

to lock the arm into position. When the arm is attached

in this manner, the speedlight’s axis will always inter

sect with the lens's optical axis, even if the flash head is
moved up or down on the arm. (Normally, the joint is
locked at the top of the arm.) Before diving, be sure the

joint knob ® and joint lever are locked tightly.
To attach the arm to the bracket, turn the arm knob ®

counterclockwise as far as it will go to loosen it (the two
bracket positioning pins on the bottom of the grip @ will
be visible). Slide the open end of the bracket between

the arm knob and the grip, seat the two bracket posi

tioning pins in the two indentations on the bracket, and
turn the arm knob clockwise as far as it will go to lock
the bracket into position. The correct arm/bracket posi
tion is with the two washers on the underside of the

bracket, the rubber side of the bracket facing up, and

the flat side of the grip perpendicular to the bracket.
