I am moving from a C5060 to an EPL 2. I have the Olympus housing and an Inon S2000 flash. I am seriously considering purchasing the Zen dome port which I would use with the 14-42 Mk II kit lens. I am wondering which way to go for macro. Should a I use the Olympus mount and wet macro lens or a close-up lens? If I go with a close-up lens which one would you recommend and will it fit behind the Olympus flat port?
I had some additional questions about my flash set up. When I was using the C5060 Inon recommended using the C rather than B setting for STTL. Any recommendations for initial set-up with the EPL2? Do I need to be concerned when using the Inon that the lowest ISO for the EPL2 is 200 rather than the 100 recommended by Inon for use with this flash?
Finally, when people speak of using manual mode are they referring to using manual shutter speed and aperture combined with STTL flash or are they referring to M mode on the camera and running the flash at 1/4 power on the camera and full power (or lower depending on the situation) on the Inon?
I know this camera has the ability to set the function button for the 2 underwater settings. I assume one would only consider using this without flash. Are there any times that it makes sense to use these settings rather than setting the WB manually?
Thanks for all of the information I have been able to glean by reading the posts on this site about this camera and housing.
