Hi from New Zealand.
Brand new on this forum (and at photography) so please excuse me if this question has been asked before. I ahve just bought canon G12 with Ikelite housing and DS51 strobe. However the strobe will not fire. Camera flash works until cable is connected (correctly) to the hot shoe. Seems to be a communication problem rather than hardware. I would have thought it should have been as simple as connecting everything and start taking photos?? Also, menu flash settings grey out when the flash cable connected at hot shoe. Any advice? Thanks heaps.
