Hi All, need some help getting my camera and strobe synced. I have been having trouble with day shots and did some tests and realize that things are off.
Camera: Sealife DC500 with SL960D strobe, the strobe has the cable/sensor that fits over the internal flash
Test 1
Facing mirror with the strobe set to “0” which is what the Sealife manual says to set its’ strobes to with a sealife camera. When taking pictures in the various modes there is no flash seen in the pictures except in external flash mode. In External flash mode the strobe is seen and the camera appears to be synced. In the rest the strobe is firing before the internal flash. I confirmed this with by taking a video of it.
Test 2
I set the strobe to 1 pre-flash and in the various modes the strobe is seen in the picture and camera and strobe appears to be synced but there is now no strobe fire in the external flash mode.
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to fix this?
Please and thanks
