The LSS 2 (LED Strobe System) is essential when using an exterior strobe.
LSS2 communicates to the exterior strobe only the timing of the flash coming from the camera.
At the present time TTL does not work with the LSS2. (Please set your external strobe to “manual.”)
The LSS2 can be used with an external strobe when shooting in motor drive (providing the strobe is not set at full flash.)
Please use your exterior strobe only after confirming that the LSS2 is working properly.

Double-sealed opening
The opening for inserting and removing the camera is the area most susceptible to water leakage. Our double seal reduces the probability of a leak. Regular maintenance assures you of even more worry-free photography.
Monitor Hood Rail
When close to the surface or when the sun is exceptionally bright, contrast on the monitor will weaken and be difficult to read.
Attaching the PRO MARKII UNZ-2603 underwater monitor (sold separately by UN) greatly enhances visibility of the monitor.
The device uses a convex lens to improve visibility, to the extent that even when objects nearby are difficult to see, the words on the monitor can be clearly discerned.
Comes in 16 colors
Choose from hard alumite casings in 16 rich colors.
Stock Colors: Pro Matt Black (The surface has a high resistance to abrasion and the feel of quality.)
Color options (After the order, you wait two weeks.):
Black, Violet, Turquoise, Champagne, Blue, Gray, Red, Bronze, Green, Bright Yellow, Silver, Gold, Orange, Pink, Light Green
Any of these six different adaptor types may be attached to three mount base:
Multi-direct base, Direct base, T-slide base, Ball joint base M10, NA hooking ball joint base M10, Shoe base adaptor X-2
It is very likely that you already own an adaptor that would fit.
Even without the attachment of an external handgrip, it is possible to mount two strobes and an aiming light.
M3 Mount
The Micro-flex arm from AOI Japan can be attached without using an adaptor.
Strobe sync cord adaptors
The sync cord adaptors that come attached to the housing are from INON, with places for four strobes from either INON or SEA&SEA.
(With the addition of one INON two-hole rubber bushing) the sync cord does not protrude and will not interfere with the port glass.
Dp2Q 28LD Port, dp3Q 28LD port (Optional)
All ports are available as optional equipment. It is a port which can equip with "the lens of 28LD series” of INON.
A color is only Black.
Controls are sealed by two sliding O-rings.
We have used two sliding O-rings to seal push buttons, focus knobs, star-dials, etc. (excluding the monitor glass, the strobe window and the port.)
The shaft has a polished finish.
Beginning with the first model ever sold, the APSG-DP2, ACQUAPAZZA has polished finishing all their shafts.
Angled Layout for Buttons
There are many function buttons in the vicinity of the “cross key.” We have spread the buttons out so that even when wearing thick gloves, it is difficult to mistakenly press the wrong button.
The Built-in Grip
The housing is equipped with a large handgrip, making it possible to shoot underwater even without attaching a separate grip.
