On a nice southern ca dive this morning, my first macro shot was fine and all subsequent images were grossly overexposed, as though the flash TTL had completely failed and both flashes were completely firing on each shot.
I will spare you the details of all the efforts made, underwater and on the boat, to determine what had failed ... all to no avail.
Upon taking the housing apart later, I noticed that the Ikelite hot-shoe flash connector was not COMPLETELY pushed into the hot shoe. Once I pushed it in all the way, everything worked properly. It seems like the connector was making enough contact to fire the strobes, but not enough to provide the control or quenching signal.
Beware, kiddies ...
