RX100 shots i am "okay" with

[chile7236]

Still getting inconsistency with strobe triggering...pretty sure it is a cable issue. Here are a few pics I think are okay...aside from my strobe issues, the camera is great.

Good start what are the exif settings out of curiosity?

Do you have an Inon or sea and sea?

 

[chile7236]

S&s ys-02....f8/1-250/iso125.

Look perfectly exposed considering you shot with a manual strobe
Do you have a diopter or bare port only?

 

[chile7236]

I have the Inon UCL 67mm...the lionfish was bare port. the crinoid and nudi were with the Inon.

The rx100 as a larger sensor than a traditional compact and the f/8 for macro rule needs adjusting
When shooting video with a diopter I was working at f/11 fixed and it does look sharp I don't see a loss of resolution either so If your strobe is not at full power and has more fstops you could try closing down to f/11

Maybe I am not understanding this correctly but how can use the RX100 at a f/8 when the range of the camera is f1.8-f4.9?

Those reflect the widest aperture at a given zoom not the aperture range.

For example zoomed all the way out you can achieve 1.8 as the max open aperture but if you zoom all the way In you can only achieve 4.9 as the max open aperture. At any zoom length you can close the aperture up to f11 or more. I am not sure what the max closed aperture on the rx100 is. Probably f22 or something.

Minimum aperture is f/11 at all focal lengths.
