I have a Canon PowerShot SD 550 and love it! I bought a Reef Master Stobe to use with it, but more often than not it doesn't flash. It works on land when I test it, but it fails to flash when I'm in the water.
As you can imagine, this is very frustrating.
Underwater photography is my passion.
I'm intrigued with the Magic-Filter.
Has anyone used a Magic-Filter with a Canon PowerShot SD 550?
Can you use the Magic-Filter with the camera's flash?

I'm sorry to say this but I've never seen any good pictures taken with any reef master stuff. I guess there is a reason why they are so cheap...

Magic filters should not be used with any flash.

I really enjoy the Magic Filter, for both photos and videos, and use it with the SD870. However, it really can't be used with the camera's flash. I guess in theory you could manually white balance with the filter while simultaneously using the flash, but then why bother? Plus that won't work for taking videos...

Cheers!
