Hi,
I'm going to preface that I'm an absolute beginner in underwater photography and I'm new to this forum!
I recently purchased a Sea & Sea YS-01 to go along with my Ikelite 6242.95 housing and Canon S95 camera. From what I understand, DS-TTL won't really work between my camera/housing and the YS-01. I'm mainly asking about triggering the strobe (slave mode?) to fire when the built-in flash is fired.
Will a fiber optic cable be required? Does the YS-01 have a receiver somewhere on the strobe that can sense the built-in flash firing without a sync cable?
Gathering info from the forums:
1) There is no connection port on the Ikelite housing to accept a sync cable
2) A Sea & Sea mask set can be used to manually mount the fiber optic cable in front of the flash.
Does anyone have experience with this set-up?
Appreciate the feedback!
David
