It sometimes works and sometimes it does not... I see no pattern at all.. It happens in all camera modes: A, P, Av and Tv. When it does not work, the shots are typically totally over-exposed, but depending on the mode and light conditions, they may also be almost totally dark.
There is a LED sequence on the strobe which is supposed to switch the LED color from red to green for a moment after the shot, if everything goes well.
For the pictures that come out OK, it happens as described above. For all the bad pictures (under or over exposed) the light goes off for a few seconds and comes back red, i.e. never switches to green.
My Settings:
The YS-01 is set to TTL and max power.
The camera flash settings:
I have re-installed the f/o cable, checked it as best as I can and see nothing wrong with it... Using a fiber optic kit supplied by Fantasea with two plugs to which I had to attach the cable. Any know issues with this item?
The camera is in an Ikelite housing. I used electrical tape on the inside of the housing to mask the internal flash. The fiber-optic cable socket on the housing is not directly facing the flash but instead is positioned above it just slightly in front of the flash. Could that matter? Can the use of non-reflective el. tape on the inside of the be causing insufficient light reflection? Not sure how "picky" the f/o cable is...
