There has been a lot of discussion regarding the DX-1G and the DS-TTL option on the YS-110. Many say that the since the DX-1G does not have a TTL flash capability that this option doesn't work for the DX-1G (as I understand this means that the flash reads the amount of light off the subject being photographed and when it judges that sufficient light has been applied it shuts off the flash). The YS-110 manual states that when the strobe is connected via a fiber-optic cable to a compact digital camera with TTL metering, the YS-110 strobe offers DS-TTL (Digital Slave Through-The-Lens) light adjustment. However, I can't find in the DX-1G manual any reference that states that the DX-1G uses TTL metering. However, the Sea&Sea representative posts that you can use the DS-TTL option with good results with the DX-1G.
I would like to hear from the Sea&Sea rep how the DS-TTL function works. Does the DX-1G utilize TTL metering? If not, how does the camera link to the DS-TTL function in the strobe so that the stobe knows when sufficient light has been applied to the object being photographed. Perhaps the DS-TTL function is nothing different than using the strobe manually. If that's true I would like to know that.
