Dry Test: settings using the Ikelite DS50 sub strobe and Olympus C5050Z in super macro mode.

 
The testing displayed on this page resulted from a discussion on www.wetpixel.com on workable settings for the Olympus C5050Z with PT-015 housing, Ikelite DS50 substrobe with auto (TTL) slave sensor and camera set in super macro mode. In super macro mode the internal camera flash is disabled on standard flash settings; however, setting the camera to slave mode will fire the internal flash at 10 different user configurable intensity settings, allowing the wireless slave sensor to function. The question is: which settings are best? Judge for yourself...
