If you shoot with the Canon G10 and Inon strobes (FIX housing with optic cables) do you have the Inon magnets IN or OUT? I am having lots of problems with focus, especially with the Fisheye FIX fisheye port. Any good advice will be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Any suggestions for settings, etc. with the following set-up: G10, FIX housing, Inon D180 & D2000 strobes? I have been shooting the Oly 5050 with a single D180 strobe and just recently invested in the aforementioned Canon G10 set-up. Since most are using a different strobe is there anything I...

All, I just talked to Captain Ray. He assures me that the comfort and safety of his passengers is the most important element in deciding whether to run anytime. Chamber Day is no different. He was out on the water today and said it was beautiful. The forecast predicts improvement for...

Some of you have had the CCD (charge coupled device?) replaced on your C5050Z and may be able to help me... If the CCD is replaced will the camera lose its settings? Will the MyModes be cleared? I just picked up my 5050 from Oly after they replaced the CCD, the mode dial, and the grip. I...
