question

is this strobe compatible in RC mode with TG-3?
Asked by: Anonymous
The RC mode on the Olympus UFL-3 strobe does work with the Olympus Stylus TOUGH TG-3. Since the slave trigger is set back on the UFL-3 you will need to still connect the strobe to the cameras built-in flash with the Sea & Sea 17.8 Fiber-Optic Cable II: <a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?N=11015907&InitialSearch=yes&sts=pi target= _blank >http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?N=11015907&InitialSearch=yes&sts=pi</a>Since the TG-3 does not have a fiber optic cable port you will have to create one with the Sea & Sea Strobe Mask Set: <a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/510287-REG/Sea_Sea_SS_50109_Strobe_Mask_Set.html target= _blank >http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/510287-REG/Sea_Sea_SS_50109_Strobe_Mask_Set.html</a>
