I am having some inconsistent problems with my newer second YS-D1 and am wondering if anyone can give me advise.
My set up: NEX5n in a Aquatica housing, a YSD1 purchased with the housing in Fall 2012, a YSD1 purchased this month, two fiber optic cables connecting housing to strobes
The Problem: My older strobe fires every time, no matter what and it's awesome. The newer one seems to fire but occasionally produces a much weaker light even though the setting will be stronger than the older one. If I adjust the strobe intensity to compensate for the shadow, then the next photo is totally blown out. I can't figure out a pattern to this problem. The next dive I will swap cables. The batteries are fresh, so I know that's not the problem. My dive buddy noticed today that it wasn't always firing, either. I have checked that it is on the correct sync (in my case no pre flash, the 'one flash icon' on the strobe).
Question: Before I send it in, I'm wondering if this a problem others have had? Is it a manufacturing problem?
Thanks in advance
Kerry
