I have a new Lumix LX5 in the Ikelite housing, dual sync cord, with DS51 and DS160 strobes.
Took it out today and it seems that most shots using the strobes are underexposed. I've attached 2 pics to demonstrate. The camera is in P mode and the first shot has both strobes on TTL, and the image is clearly dim. The second shot is after I put the DS160 in manual mode on -3, and it looks a lot better, and closer to what I would expect an automatic exposure should be.
Macro shots come out ok, but I suspect it's to do with more light reaching the camera rather than the strobes firing correctly.
So... what's up with this?
