Hi forum,

Posted the below on a dive photography forum but no help - maybe someone here can help!


<I have been trying to use a pair of Inon D2000S with my Nikon D200 (using fibre optic cables) with min to no success.

I am facing the following issues:

With the camera flash setting to manual and Strobes set to manual the strobes fire but they fire at a fixed power (ie changing the strobe manual power setting has no effect!)

I decided to test the strobes manual operation using another camera:-


Holding the end of the slave cable directly to the built in flash of the Nikon I get the same results: The strobe only fires at a fixed power level and setting it to any of the manual power settings or even setting it on FULL has no effect - it just fires at the same fixed level (quite low)


But,


Holding the slave cable end against the built in flash on my point and shoot (sony DSCW7) it works as it should (manual power levels and full power work)


So it apears that the D200 built in flash (in manual mode) isnt powerful enough to properly triggert the strobe??? (even though Its set to max)


HELP!!!! !!!! Diving HMS Prince of Wales this weekend and was hoping to take some pics!



Cheers
Mike
