Features

Compatible with both the VF180 and VF45 1.2x viewfinders

By attachment of a 45° viewfinder (view magnification of 1.2x) with Amici prisms to the By attaching the VF180 1.2x or the VF45 1.2x prism viewfinder (magnification ratio of 1.2x) to a SEA&SEA housing, the magnification increases by 1.2x and entire field of view can be seen at the same time. Recommended for users committed to strict composition and focusing.
* Factory modification is required to install the viewfinder. Contact an official SEA&SEA dealer or distributor.

Manual adjustment is possible without releasing the grips

Designed for easy operation so you can comfortably reach the main command dial and sub-command dial with your fingers, while keeping your hands on the grips. Delicate operations are possible even while you are looking through the viewfinder. The larger diameter of frequently-used dials allows you to change the shutter speed or aperture value with a light touch while supporting the framing. This frees you, the photographer, to concentrate only on the perfect chance for a great picture.

TTL converter connector employed as standard

The included type-N 5-pin wired connector accepts the optional YS Converter/N. The converter works with the YS-Series strobes to provide automatic TTL flash adjustment.

*The converter requires the 5-pin Sync Cord/N for connecting to a strobe.
*The MDX-PRO D3 housing comes from the factory with these type-N connectors: one 2-pin wired connector and one 5-pin wired connector.
*To use two SEA&SEA YS-Series strobes with the factory-equipped type-N connectors, you must use the 5-pin Dual Sync Cord/N.
