For some of you experienced photogs out there I need some help. I got my Ikelite case today for my G10...am I the first one on Scubaboard to get the Ikelite G10 housing???
I have the DS51 and DS50 strobe. I also have the TTL dual sync cable. So, with that being said, what are you experienced folks using for settings on your G10
Ikelite suggests the following settings:
I have heard many talk about using the manual mode...why not use the Auto features of the camera and use the TTL abilities with your strobes. For the average person would this provide good overall results?
Do all of these settings make a difference if you are shooting in RAW?
If I put the camera in RAW, and let the TTL function set the strobes intensity...I can just fix any problems later, problems like White Balance, etc.
If my thinking is flawed someone please give me some advice before I hit the water the first time with the G10. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Ikelite suggests the following settings:
- Set ISO to 80
- Set camera mode dial to AV. Shutter speed automatically goes to 1/60
- Set Flash to On
- General photography set aperature to f3.5
- For Macro set aperature to f8.0
- Set White Balance to Auto
- Set image size to "L" and compression to "S" superfine
- Set metering to "Center Weighted Avg"
- In the camera menu set the "ND" Filter to "Cancel"
