I'm using two Inon s2000 strobes with my tg-5, and my images tend to be a little blown out. Using the recommended settings from the Backscatter videos - flash on fill-in, exposure to -1.0 to -2.0, etc.
I have a Backscatter air lens so I'm using the flash cover that it comes with (its black plastic, so it doesn't allow any camera flash through, which should be a benefit)
Something I'm not quite understanding is how STTL works - from what I've read online, the camera does a preflash and uses that to determine "how strong" the real flash should be. The strength of the real flash is detected by the strobes and they adjust their strength based on the flash strength.
If this is the case, then doesn't my setup cause the preflash to *not* register any real data to the camera, as if everything is dark even with the highest flash setting? Does that cause the STTL strobes to then fire at full strength, all the time?
Or am I missing something here? Appreciate any info and advice!
