CP5000, SB105 , TTL?

  1. CP5000, SB105 , TTL?

    Hi All,

     

    searching previous threads has given me conflicting answers to this question. Is it possible to achieve TTL exposure control using my SB105 strobe in my A5000 housing?

     

    Whilst manual control gives me excellent results, I would like to use TTL sometimes.

     

    When I try for TTL, even with the exposure compensation wound right down on the camera, I get way too much light dumped.

  2. Yes, it is possible. If the sensor on the front left upper side of the camera is somewhat obscured, then it will cause your flash to put out too much light.

  3. Perhaps try a neutral density filter on the strobe. You can get a 4 x 4 gel at most camera stores and cut it to fit, then tape it on or put it beneath the diffuser.
