Yesterday I moved myself into a new realm of underwater photography by finally retiring my Oly 5060 and getting an Ikelite housing for my 350 D. All is good and I've been playing with it to see how it all works. One thing that I've quickly noticed however is that with the sync cord to my Sea&Sea YS90DX strobe (no TTL) the max shutter speed that I can get is 1/320 before I start to get a dark line across the bottom of the shot (probably the shutter closing before the strobe finishes).
Now with my old Oly this wasn't a problem as there was no mirror involved so the speed could be adjusted up to 1/2000 - which was very handy for close up subjects on a sandy background where the light gets bounced all over the place.
Does anyone know if there is a way to allow me to use a faster shutter speed without the banding appearing or is it just a case of using a good diffuser, smaller apertures, and adjusting down the strobe power to control the light?
Just curious as it'll just mean that I need to rethink how I take certain shots
Thanks
