I have the DC800 (since it was rolled out).
I just bought an SL960 strobe. Unfortunately it was a demo unit. I got it yesterday and there was no box, no instructions, & even no camera mounting screw (I'm going to have a conversation with the retailer for sure on that one).
I got the manual online. (sealife has a great web site http://www.sealife-cameras.com/download/flash.pdf)
I have questions about the flash and camera interfacing. Do I need the optical cable? (if so, should I have gotten one with the camera? The strobe? I don't have one).
Also, should the flash be on the left or the right. It feels better on the left but then the lens partially blocks the flash and I'm afraid the strobe wont sense the flash as well.
Should I be blocking the cameras internal flash to limit back-scatter (then I guess I NEED that optical cable)
How about my cameras firmware? As I said, this was one of the first off of the assembly line. I never upgraded the firmware because I never had any problems or issues.
And here's the punch-line. I am leaving for Cozumel in 3 days and need to get this all resolved by Friday!
