Not only a compact strobe
The S-2000 is operated by 4 x AA
batteries to provide fundamental features of strobe though 4 x AA batteries
operation is hostile to downsizing. The same level of basic performance and
durability as existing D-2000 and marvelous high performance is supported
with its compact body. Together with powerful and substantial Guide Number
20, the S-2000 benefits you with ultrafast recycle time and remarkable flash
capacity thanks to less inner wiring and efficient component parts.
In addition to reliable and super accurate [S-TTL auto mode] flash control,
[12 step Manual mode] supports professional lighting.
The EV Controller to make fine adjustment on [S-TTL Auto] and auto-switching
function to accommodate with various pre-flash type (2, 3 time pre-flash)
digital camera is equipped.
Next generation wireless TTL function
The S-2000 strobe has
ultra sensitive slave sensor which is 100 times more sensitive comparing
to the slave sensor of existing D-2000 strobe and successfully enables to
support wireless [S-TTL Auto] flash control without using an optical cable.
Also the sensitivity of the slave sensor dramatically lengthens synch range
of Manual flash mode.
Supplied "Mirror Unit" effectively corrects master strobe light
to enhance exposure control accuracy. It is easy to use wireless S-TTL Auto
shooting simply attached on compatible underwater housing via INON Shoe Base
or Grip Base D4(upcoming product).

signal of the strobe. One S-2000 strobe can be linked to maximum two strobes
via optical cables and operate them in [S-TTL Auto mode]. This optical cable
system benefits you to add [S-TTL Auto] operating strobe easily by connecting
with an optical cable to pick up S-TTL control signal is piched up from your
camera system. This expandability makes underwater studio with perfect lighting
real.
Natural color even with a diffuser

does not affects light color, which is popular among professional photographers.
The color temperature of the S-2000 changes only 100K(kelvin) by this diffuser.
You can have same color tone between macro shooting without diffuser and
wide shooting with diffuser to widen strobe beam angle.
