I’m playing with a new setup consisting of a:
Hugyfot Housing
Canon 40d Body w/ 10-22mm Lens
heinrichsweikamp TTL converter
Inon z-240 Strobe
Nikonos 5-pin connector
I was in the pool trying to get everything working and found that on Aperture Priority mode, I wasn’t getting the strobe to fire correctly. I’m sure it is all down to novice error and I’m turning to the forum for help. In general, the photos were completely underexposed although the strobe did fire.
When I put the camera in A-DEP mode, it seemed to work well, also in full auto and manual. While I’m sure I’ll master manual mode, I was hoping that the TTL converter would allow me to use Aperture Priority for some quick shots.
If you can recommend the particular settings for both the camera and strobe I would be most thankful.
From what I’ve been told, to get TTL, the strobe settings are: S-TTL (Left Knob), TTL (Right Knob), and Button In (lower right). I’ve also seen that the upper right knob should be a 12 o’clock (or B position). Neither worked for me.
I’ve put the camera into Average Strobe Metering mode for external flash and I’ve been primarily playing with spot metering.
I found that S-TTL over exposed and S-TTL (low) was better but under exposed.
Thoughts Recommendations ???
Thanks in advance
