hi all,
just got back from a week in egypt. first real usage of my 5060 / pt020 / sea&sea ys60 strobe and the mikedive ttl adaptor.
had problems in getting the flash to fire. i run the camera in manual (M) mode, setting the aperture and shutter speed myself, but generally leaving focus to the camera. the only flash options i get are off or slow sync. however, when using the slow sync setting, the camera still decides for itself if it should fire or not.
accessory mode is set to underwater housing and flash setting is set to external only.
is there any way of getting the camera to fire the flash *every* time despite what it thinks should be done? i guess half my problem is that i use a digital SLR for topside stuff and am just used to the camera doing what i tell it rather than it thinking it knows best.
problems also arose when using a spotting / focusing light. this seemed to fool the exposure system (spot metering) into believing the flash didn't need to be fired.
any advice greatly appreciated.
