The New Inon Z-240 Strobe is an extremely compact strobe offering wide angle coverage and high power for underwater flash photography. The Z-240 Stobe provides TTL automatic exposure via a reliable fibre optic cable with consumer and prosumer cameras. Manual exposure is provided for D - SLR’s using a Sea and Sea Nikonos type sync cord.
Based on the original Inon 220 series, the new strobe combines the best features of the 220 range and the D-2000. When used with digital consumer and prosumer cameras, the cameras own lightmeter is used to ensure correct flash exposure. This takes advantage of the sophisticated metering built into modern cameras which are highly accurate. By using TTL the problems of auto sensors are avoided such as having to remember to change apertures on both the camera and the gun or having to cheat the system when deviating from the “correct” film speed. It also prevents problems with the auto sensor not seeing the subject with some flash angles and consequently getting the exposure totally wrong.
Because even state of the art TTL can still be fooled by some subjects, the Z-240 Stobe has a built in exposure compensation feature. If TTL yields an exposure which is too light or too dark, you can easily adjust the exposure. The Z-240 then remembers your correction until you change it. It’s a very user friendly feature that makes it easy to get perfect exposures with tricky subjects and is much faster than navigating most cameras flash
compensation menus.
Film users can take advantage of the Nikonos TTL circuits for TTL flash control with Nikonos V and RS bodies and most Nikon SLR cameras in housings.
The Z-240 strobe also offers full manual exposure for complete creative control. This is also the mode used with Digital SLR cameras. Twelve power settings provide fine tuning for getting the lighting exactly how you want it.
A push button modelling light lets you confirm proper strobe placement.
The T dual flash tube design provides a very even circular beam that covers 100 degrees making the new strobe an excellent choice for wide angle work.
Four AA batteries power the Z-240.
The Z-240 Strobe is an extremely interesting unit, combining the features that will help a beginner get great flash pictures from day one, while allowing them to upgrade to pro level SLR’s in the future. Professionals will appreciate the small size of the gun and it’s outstanding performance.
