Hi all -
I am new to underwater flash photography - yet not new to [underwater] photography.
I am trying to use 2 x Inon S2000 with a Canon G7X. I do NOT have optical cables and the flash are triggered wirelessly (here it looks like they should be compatible: INON Wireless Connection Kit).
I am using this setup above water to get acquainted with it, but I am not getting the results I want/expect to see.
I have tried to set the Canon G7X to manual flash, but pictures get blown out. For the beginning I would like to stay away from manual mode.
Therefore, I set the S2000 to S-TTL and the Canon G7X onboard flash as AUTO. Pictures come out darkish, and most importantly, as I change the S2000 power output (turning the EV dial) I do not see any relevant change in the picture output, that is no change in ISO, time and aperture. To avoid any problem due to the absence of the optical cable, I have placed the flash light sensor just in front of the camera on-board flash.
(The camera *seems* not to use any pre-flash to adjust exposure but I might be wrong).
What am I doing wrong?
