Any one else having problems getting their Sealife strobe to work with their camera? I have a DC500 that I purchased new with the "Pro Pack", but it has never worked well, even after returning it to Sealife to upgrade the pickup for the flash link. This is my second Sealife camera, after my first UW toy, a DC100, and I thought that I was stepping up into better UW digital photography with this package. In many ways I am really only a little better off with the DC500 than my old DC100, if I can't use the strobe!
Every time I decide to try again, and check everything out on land it works ok. BUT once I'm UW the darned thing fails to flash correctly and I end up removing the flash link and resetting the 500 to onboard flash. ALWAYS end up pulling the strobe off after the first dive of a trip and spending the week diving with just the point and shoot's simple flash.
I am getting more and more frustrated by this.
