The strobe IS firing and almost all of the pictures I took were on Macro with forced flass ON. I'll be diving on a wreck this week and I'll try setting the ISO to 100, shutter speed 1/125 and I'll increase the exposure if I have to. I WAS able to lighten all of my pictures up in the Photo...

I have a Panasonic ZS3 and an Inon S2000 strobe. While the ZS3 does great video, I've been trying to also use it for stills. The problem I'm having is that the stills all come out very dark. Settings: ZS3 - normal picture mode, ISO Sensitivity =Auto, AWB, C-AF, I.Exposure OFF, Color...

Does anyone have any experience with this light? Is it difficult to operate? How about with gloves on? How do you change the power settings? Do you have to scroll through the strobe/sos/on/off before you get to the setting you want? Depending on the responses, I'm considering...

I ordered mine thru ebay. There were 3-4 folks selling batteries with the "Chip" inside and 100% compatable with the new firmware for Panasonic cameras. I bought 2 batteries at a fraction of the OEM prices and they both work great. Just be sure they have the chip inside so they work with the...

Great. Thanks Jerry. Like I mentioned, I had lots of problems with the soft sole. I asked Paul to send it back up and it should have arrived last week. Here's a highlight of what was needed. Neck Seal was too big and leaked. I'm not sure what happend here as Paul got the measurment...

Thanks Jerry. Paul at Scuba Sciences sent the suit back up to you and called the other day. Glad to hear your busy and I hope its a sign that things are on the rebound for all of us. I was going to do the rock boots, but wanted nice strong neoprene socks. I was told your putting thin...

Jerry, I reciently ordered a Techniflex suit and thought it was ordered with the hard sole boots, but instead it came with the soft sole boots. The legs of the suit seem to be cut a bit long and the soft sole boots tend to want to fall off my feet. They are really soft and I don't think...

Nemrod. Would you mind posting a couple pictures of what your "travel" setup looks like with the arms and strobe(s) attached? I'd like to get an idea of how far you've managed to miniturized things. Especially the arms.....

Thanks soamelt. I'm not too sure of what you meant by "great early bird specials". I read just a little about the fossil/shark tooth diving around Venice Beach. I couldn't find any maps or good directions to any specific dive sites yet, but I'll keep looking. Are there any good dive...

My wife and I have been invited to Siesta Key which is close to Sarasota Florida. We will be driving down from Arizona and plan on bringing all of our dive gear. Does ANYONE have any information on where to dive while we're in that part of the state? Any specific beaches to dive off? Any...

Are you saying the Inon S-2000 doesn't have the "Auto" function that the D-2000/Z-240 does? I don't know much about this stuff yet and am busy learning as much as I can. To me, the S-2000 looks great for travel. I'd just like to know if it has the "Auto" function your refering to and if...

Joe - I took a look at that web sight. Are you using the tray with the handles that are curved? I've been wondering if they would be more comefortable than the strait handles. If I use a pair of good focus lights for video and they can double for stills, than I think that might be pretty...

I realy had no idea how good the technology was and didn't realize the strobe would fire from other nearby cameras. I have no problem outfitting with the fiber optic cable. I just thought if it was no longer needed, then it would be one less thing to go wrong if eliminated. Looks like the...

Joe. I only have the ZS3 and will be using it for both video and photos. Do you think the dual I-Torch VDO lights give you enough light to do both with your ZS3? I'm also wondering what you are using for a try and arms

I see where the Inon S-2000 and I believe the D-2000 both have wireless TTL. I'm interested in the S-2000 and am looking for ANYONE who has actually used it in this mode. What are the tradeoffs? Do you have to use the mirrors or is the flash inside the case enough to set it off? I'm using a...

I'm really new at this and don't want to be buying everything for a second time in just a few months. I have been doing a bit of research on trays, handles and arms. Since I like video as well as stills, I am leaning toward a tray with two handles thinking it will be easier to hold steady...

Puffer. Regarding WB, my ZS3 has automatic, manual and several preset settings such as UW. For video without a video light, do you recommend just using the Underwater mode or do you recommend using Manual WB? If Manual WB, what is the best way to set it if using the grey card doesn't work...

I've got a Panasonic ZS3 and the Panasonic DMW-MCTZ7 housing. I've decided to go with the Inon 2000-S Strobe. My question is: What fiber optic cable do I use? Does anyone have a part number and place where I can order it from? Should I try to get the Strobe, tray, arms and FO cable from...

Wow, I was on the Optical Ocean site earlier today and looked at two possible solutions: Optical Ocean Sales S-Tray & Arm Set (curved handles) Optical Ocean Flat Tray & Arms Set 1 (strait handles) Not sure which would be more comfortable.

Thanks Puffer. I'll be using the ZS3 and it really likes lite for photos, so I think I'll go with the Inon S-2000 strobe to start with. I'll keep my video to ambient light for the time being, or fire off my Salvo HID (I'll have to equip it with a DIY diffuser). I'll check out the Optical...
