iTTL support form Mathias Heinrichs ?

Strobe firmware on a small media card that could be updated as new versions of Nikon strobe control are implemented would be pretty slick too....

Agreed! Media card could go in the DS125 between the battery pack and the strobe to be user changeable. Could switch back and forth between Nikon and Canon that way for folks like me...:-)

Or just get the new Ikelite sync cord bulkhead to USB port conversion cable and you don’t have to ship in your strobe for being hardware upgraded with the card reader. When setting the DS-125 into PC connection mode (select ½ power 5 times within 0.5 seconds) the strobe will recognize the PC and windows detects new hardware connected and installs the Ikelite driver from CD accordingly. Just run the Ikelite Windows or Mac firmware upgrade tool (available for download on www.ikelite.com/ds125firmware). Linux version release is targeted for end of May.

Instead of USB-conversion cable the optional wireless lan or infrared modul requires hardware upgrade as well.

The new software tool update (1.2a) will include download of strobe shooting data (power settings, TTL or not, time/date, position from strobe’s built-in GPS) as well as new supported cameras (Canon’s new semiprof. 3D). Automatic sync and adding to picture’s EXIF data is available in conjunction with Nikon capture Pro, Breeze Browser and Canon Digital Photo Professional. Data can be synced with your Aladin dive computer log as well.

Just click the checkbox and allow the manufacture to analyze these data for marketing research (top ten locations this strobe was used – listed in digideep’s new database) and a service voucher for the next check will be stored electronically into the strobe’s electronics.

Ikelite informs that installing of any of the hacked firmware tools will affect warranty.
