Sea & Sea Announces Firmware Update for YS-D3 Strobe to Address Third-Party TTL Compatibility Issues
Sea & Sea has announced a firmware update for its popular YS-D3 strobe to address compatibility issues with third-party TTL converters. The update is available for strobes with serial numbers above #180701320.
The firmware update aims to resolve inconsistent exposures that may occur when using the YS-D3 with a third-party TTL converter. However, it is important to note that the update is not necessary if you aren't using a third-party TTL converter or trigger with the YS-D3 strobe.
To check if your YS-D3 strobe is eligible for the firmware update, you should:

- Visit the official Sea & Sea website or the authorized dealer site for firmware update announcements and eligibility details. Manufacturers typically provide a serial number checker or a list of eligible serial numbers for firmware updates.
- Check the firmware version currently installed on your strobe. This may require connecting the strobe to a computer via a Sea & Sea interface or through a recommended method outlined in the firmware update instructions.
- Contact Sea & Sea support or the retailer where you purchased the strobe. They can confirm eligibility based on your strobe’s serial number and firmware version.
