Got my DC1400 Pro system today. I hope to have it in the water on Sunday for some test pictures. I used to use a little Fuji F30 and Fuji Case, so this will be a bit different. First time with an actual Strobe, and a camera more truly designed for underwater.
I did some tests here at home and got over 240 flashes on the strobe before I gave up testing. (Using auto on the dc1400 and 4 Eneloop 2000mAh batteries.) Bought an EconoMax 1500mAh battery for the camera, it had no problem with the 240+ flash pictures. Will keep testing it next week and hopefully post more during the week, or after I get back from a trip.
What I wonder is how people get the strobe to actually focus on super macro stuff that you have close? The strobe doesn't seem to bend that far to point more towards the lens to get the light correct.
