Patima G10 with SeaSea YS-110

[Red_Devil]

Hello all,

I'm newer in the Forum, and new to underwater photography.

I buy last week the Patima Housing for my Canon G10 with 5-pin buckhead (Nikonos).

As newbie, I have some questions and I need help regarding the using of SeaSea YS-110 with Electric SeaSea Sync Cord.

When I connect the internal Patima flash connector to my Canos G10 flash, G10 disable all the option regarding to G10 flash use. So no configuration are allow on G10 regarding to internal flash control.
I notice that the G10 in Auto, Program Av, Tv, SCN, C1 and C2 Modes, G10 focus the object as no flash exits when shoot. The internal flash will not shoot, but the external flash are enable and flashes. The result are photos with to many exposure (even with YS-110 in low light) or no focus photos.
I use the YS-110 in Manual 1 (Slave off).

I will apreciate your help to understand what are causing this problem?

What can I do using SeaSea cord with YS-110 strobe and patima 5pin connector?

What features do I have with this configurations? TTL its possible?


Thank you for your help and support.

Best Regards
Tiago

RD--Welcome to SB! Hopefully a Patima housing owner can jump in about the 5 pin connection concerns but I'm wondering--why not have the YS-110 (do you have the YS110-Alpha?) set to TTL? One more click on the strobe selector (past Manual 1 & Manual 2) and you are in TTL. I would at least try that, especially w/ the 5 pin connection you are using, I would be surprised if that doesn't take care of exposure problems. Also, I wasn't sure if you are having focusing problems or not but you shouldn't be. The camera's flash is not used for focusing. // ww
