Hi Folks,
I shoot with a Canon 30D in an Ikelite housing with a single DS-160. Now, I want to add a second strobe as a non-wired slave (optical). In doing a little experimentation in a darkened room, I find the little green light under the "M" on the back of the housing does not light up when I switch the strobe from "TTL" to "Full", or when turned to any of the other power settings (on the strobe). Is that right?
In the test shots, the slave is not showing up in any of the photos and the exposures are unchanged with, or without, the slave in the frame. It looks as if I'm still in TTL mode (also indicated by the little green light below the "TTL" on the back of the housing).
I'm guessing I'm either missing something, or there's an issue with the strobe, or the housing, with respect to getting it into manual mode.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Lee
