TG-4 and YS-D1 settings

[Kesh68]

I recently got the TG-4 and want to pair it with the Sea & Sea YS-D1 strobe via fiber optic cable. Can anyone tell me which flash setting should I use on the TG-4..... "Auto flash" or "Fill-in flash"?

YS-D1 setting is "TTL" and power button to "Full".

Thanks!

You want it set to "fill-in" flash. This will force the flash to fire every single time. In turn, the fibre optic connection will fire the YS-D1. If you set it to auto it will not fire if the camera concludes that flash is not required to properly expose the picture. I don't use the YS-D1 so I cannot comment on the settings for the flash although I would expect that you would set to "TTL".

Agree 100%.

Who should control whether or not the strobe should light your foreground, you or some algorithm for "enough light" developed for topside conditions? Rembember that strobe lighting UW is not so much for having enough light as for making the colors "pop" in the foreground.

If you want to shoot ambient to get the muted underwater colors also in your foreground, you switch your camera's flash setting from "Fill-in" to "Off".
