Strobes not flashing with GH5

6 posts
  1. Hi, I'm trying to setup my gh5, I have the nauticam flash trigger in my hot shoe and everything setup on my strobes in manual as it doesn't support ttl. Both strobes make a nose when fire and the small bulb on the fires but there isnt any big flash or light that shoots out to illuminate the subject. Is there a setting in the camera I'm missing? Suggestions

     

    I'm used to having a sonyrx100m2 so it was a little different setup. Thanks

  2. You need to set the strobes to pre-flash off. In the sea and sea is the position with one strobe flash in Inon you need to screw in the magnet dial

    Make sure you turn off red eye correction or similar.

    What strobe are you using? Nauticam should have some instructions on what to do if you have followed it the issue may be with the camera

  3. Thank you for your advice but yes I have the ysd2 strobes and turned the dial to the green one (no preflash) and yes red eye is also turned off

    There are two manual modes with and without preflash I would try them both

  5. I suspect the fiber optics. With the Sony the strobes are firing off the built in flash which is very bright compared to the Nauticam LED trigger. Try some of the multi-core fibers from either Nauticam or S&S. I bet that is the problem.
