  1. Thank you for your response. I'm using INON z330 strobes with fibre optic cables and a Nauticam TTL Converter for Nikon DSLR Cameras. The batteries are about a month old and the flash trigger shows them as good (green light). I'm not sure how often (flash fires) the batteries should be changed. Any ideas??????
  2. Thank you for your response. I am using INON z330 strobes, fibre optic cable and a Nauticam TTL Converter for Nikon DSLR Cameras. The flash trigger batteries are pretty new. I installed them less than a month ago and they are still showing as good [green light] on the converter when I fire the flash. As I said, this happens intermittently - underwater and above water and seems to go away without any patterns. In the example shown it cleared it up in a minute. Other times I haved turned off my camera and had to wait about 10 minutes (after testing sporadically during this time). I'm not sure if this is a strobe / camera sync issue or a camera issue.
  3. I have INON z330 strobes with fibre optic cables. The flash trigger is Nauticam TTL Converter for Nikon DSLR Cameras. On a side note - I also own two MF2 strobes. One is one of the first manufactured (I purchased it as soon as they were available). The second one I just purchased very recently. Is there any way to know which strobes have the problem or can you describe the symptoms. I have only used the strobe with my TG6 but I am planning to start using them with my DSLR. I'd like to save myself some frustration trying to diagnose issues if possible.
  4. I've been experiencing an intermittent issue while shooting with my Nikon D850. Occasionally the camera will capture "black" images while I am shooting both above and below the water. I know it is not an issue with the strobes not firing because I see the strobes firing. I have tried changing the strobe power to Full and it still is capturing black images. I've also tried changing the settings, but the images are still dark or without colors. Typically, if I turn my camera off for 5+ minutes the issue will be resolved (for the dive). I've included images demonstrating the problem. The first image is an example of a test shot I took above water. The second image is a virtual copy of the first image where I increased the exposure by +5 in LR. The last image is the same subject take 1 minute later. The camera and strobe settings remain the same in all images as well as the camera and strobe position. I also verified that the strobe fired for the first image. Has anyone experienced or heard of this problem? Thx in advance for any help or suggestions you can provide.

  5. Is there anyone else from Bonaire out there?
