Other problems surfaced along the way, but the instruction manual booklet provided answers for all the questions when you looked hard enough. Since my old YS90 was built before the time of digital cameras, it cannot sync with G11’s Auto, Shutter Priority, or Aperture Priority modes, but was able to sense the camera’s built-in flash when a correct shutter speed was chosen on the camera's Manual mode. Slave mode (A slave strobe will only fire when it “sees” the camera’s built-in flash firing). Not ready to admit defeat, I dug out an old YS90 film camera strobe from my Pelican cases, and set it to When I turned to using the camera’s built-in flash as the main light source, the large nose of the housing (WP-DC34) blocked the flash, and cast ugly shadows that threatened even to cover my subjects. Part of the subjects that were lit by the torch's beam appeared overexposed under the torch’s “narrow” beam, and the background remained dark. On site testing showed that I couldn’t be more wrong - the G11’s 28mm built-in lens was so wide that the resulted images appeared to be shot with a strobe on a narrow snoot. In order to simplify things and shoot with the camera’s auto mode, I came up with what I thought a “fool proof” plan of using a powerful white beam torch as my light source. When Canon approached me to test shoot their PowerShot G11, I agreed without the slightest hesitation.Ī strong believer of digital compact cameras being easy to handle, be it on land or underwater, I arrived at Gorontalo (Indonesia) with the camera and housing still sealed in the original box, untouched.
Follow this guide whether using a G11, G12, S90 or S95 That said, the G11 and S90 and almost identical to the G12 and S95. Editor's Note - This guide was originally written for using the G11 and S90 in Canon housings.
