DS125 second curtain syn?

Hello,

I'm using EOS5D in a Subal and a pair of DS125 without ttl. Anyone know if I can use second curtain syn with this setup?

Thx!!

Hi,

Please check your camera manual for accuracy, but from my past experience

I can say that it is not possible to fire flash at second curtain on Canon DSLR

if the flash is not a eTTL one (real or simulated).

So if you aren't using Speedlight xxxEX unit or using onboard circuitry it won't

work (flash will fire at first curtain).

Regards

I asked Ikelite a couple of months ago, and got the reply that Ikelite housings did not allow second curtain firing for Canon DSLRs. It seemed to be on the development plan for Ikelite, but far from ready yet.

thanks all for your replies.

Just want to learn ... what's the benefit of using second curtain sync for underwater pic ?

I'm guessing you want fish swiming into the picture, not out of it (ei, trails of the fish behind it, rather then in front of it).
