It clips over the head of the light and nothing else changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt fits the updated D530V and the D710V MK2, and no other model in the range. A flood beam at 120 degrees puts light on the subject and on every particle of silt between the lens and the subject, and that returned light is what turns a macro shot grey. Cutting the cone down removes most of it. The snoot also lets the background fall to black, which separates a nudibranch or a shrimp from a busy reef behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a photograph that looks lit rather than illuminated. Restricting a beam is far easier than adding light later, and a snoot is the cheapest piece of control a diver can put in front of a video light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as the snoot alone. The D530V and D710V MK2 are both listed separately, as is the H02 camera tray that carries them. It is designed for the current versions of both lights, so an early D530V should be checked against the head before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrcaTorch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54304738935097,"sku":"D710VSN","price":290.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/1730\/8473\/files\/40ce7913fa-d530v-snoot-1.jpg?v=1785847099"},{"product_id":"lg-1-led-light-guide","title":"LG-1 LED Light Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe OM System LG-1 is a light guide that turns the camera's built-in LED into something resembling a ring flash. It fits over the front of the camera and redirects that single LED around the lens, so a macro subject is lit evenly instead of from one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShadow is the problem it solves. At the working distances TG-series macro modes use, the subject is close enough that the light source sits off to one side of it, and one side of a small subject ends up dark. Spreading the same light around the lens axis removes that. It fits the TG-7, TG-6, TG-5, TG-4, TG-3, TG-2 and TG-1, and it adds almost nothing to the size of the camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is usable close-up work on land: insects, flowers, textures and small objects lit flatly enough to show detail rather than contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can stay on the camera underwater, but OM System do not recommend it as an underwater lighting accessory and results in that setting are generally poor. Divers wanting macro light underwater should look at a proper video light or a strobe. The FD-1 flash diffuser is the flash-based alternative for close work, and it is waterproof where this is not recommended.

At macro distances a direct flash lights one side of a subject and leaves the other in shadow, and this is the fix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works between 2 and 30 centimetres, which is the range the TG macro modes work in. A lever on the body switches the output between high and low, a difference of 1.4 stops. That lets a pale subject at 2 cm and a darker one at 30 cm both be exposed without changing the camera settings. It fits the TG-7, TG-6, TG-5 and TG-4, and the TG-4 needs firmware version 2.0 or later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is even light on a subject small enough to be shaded by the camera itself. That is the situation where a built-in flash is worst, and it is exactly what TG owners buy the camera for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FD-1 is waterproof and usable for underwater macro, unhoused and within the camera's own depth rating. It is not compatible with the PT-059 underwater housing or the other TG accessory housings. The LG-1 light guide is the continuous-light alternative for topside work.
