Hi,

I have a complete new setup, and was in the process of setting up the strobes when I ran into an issue.



The instructions manual for the strobes have pretty clear directions on how to set them up based on the camera: https://www.backscatter.com/images/article/content/Sea&Sea-YS-D3-Duo-Manual.pdf

Page 44 for my R5 says the Optical Input setting should be set to mode 28.

But when I follow the instructions on page 32 it always flashes red. And the manual says: "If the light turns red, the setting has failed. Please try the setting again.". Which is less than helpful.

Both strobes have exactly the same behaviour. So I'm completely confused . . .

The strobes fire fine when connected to the camera housing . . .

Anyone else have luck setting up these strobes?

Setup:

Canon R5
Isotta Housing
Dual YS-D3 Duo strobes.

Thanks,

Darryl
