Re: Update for EM1 underwater

One of the great things about the Ikelite strobes is the recycle time. I love being able to fire off multiple flash shots of a subject before it moves on. My wifes camera uses a TTL slave sensor and it is painful waiting for the camera flash to recharge. Mine is hard wired, but no TTL. I didn't think I'd like using the strobe in manual, but it's not a big deal. I shoot manual mode on the camera so I have to adjust S, A, and flash when taking a shot. This becomes second nature and it doesn't bother me at all. TTL is still nicer if your system manages it well.
