Canon G16 wont sync with YS-02 flash?

6 posts
  1. Hi, I recently purchased a Canon G16, fantasea FG16 housing and sea and sea YS-02 flash. Im testing the rig out before I leave next week and for some reason the flash doesnt seem to sync with the camera.

     

    If I use only the on board flash everything works great, but if I put on the flash cover and fiber optic cable attached to the YS-02 the internal and external flash seem to go off at the same time (to my eye) but the picture comes out almost completely dark.

     

    Ive been messing with the flash settings in every mode and Im at a loss of what else it could be.

  2. I don't know the YS-02 strobe, but you could check some settings on both, camera and strobe:

     

    - red-eye/preflash on/off
    - switch to manual strobe exposure mode
    - switch on/off TTL exposure mode

     

    I guess that the strobe sincronize on the preflash for the "no red-eye" function

  3. Okay. U saying the flash fires... The strobe fires but the picture is totally dark? Is that is what u taking about. Then either put the strobe to full or check your setting on your camera

  4. Turns out I had the strobe set to manual flash instead of pre-flash.
