Completely new to photography so please pardon my ignorance.
I'm trying to hook up an old YS-30 to a Nikon S1 using an optical cable to a mount in front of the slave sensor of the strobe. Unfortunately, when I do this, the Nikon seems to flash three times, and I guess the strobe's only expecting to see two flashes so it's not syncing right? If I use a YS-D1, it works fine. The funny thing is that when I was first messing with it, I got just two flashes on the camera and it worked alright, but now I can't seem to... I've tried basically every setting I can think of/find.
Any ideas?
