    Twice now in the last four days the E-M1 has locked up on me during a dive. The camera sticks into one screen and then it won't respond to any buttons or knobs and won't take a photo and won't turn off. both times I had to wait until the dive was over and remove the battery. After reinserting the battery topside, the camera returned to normal operation. Anyone had a similar experience? Is there a solution? It's hard to imagine sending it in for repair as I don't know that the problem would manifest itself while the doctor is looking at it.

    I posted this question yesterday, but the photos didn't come thru. Here's a second try.

     

    On my first dive trip with the Olympus E-M1 and the Nauticam housing, I had a problem using TTL. I think it showed up the most with medium distances using the 60mm macro lens. I was using two YS-01 strobes.

     

    I have some examples of the problem. All of these are shot with the mode dial on manual. The metering was center-weighted.

     

    Here’s a pair of flamingo tongues that were overexposed when shot at 1/320th and f6.3.

    My reaction was to drastically change the f stop, so exposure on the next shot was OK 1/320th at f 14.0:

    Same dive, here’s a toadfish overexposed when shot at 1/320th and f 8.0:

    Again, I stopped the camera down, and the next shot was OK at 1/320th and f 14.0:

    Here’s a shot that had OK exposure at 1/160th at f 6.3:

    But then the very next shot (different subject), is way over-exposed when also shot at 1/160th at f 6.3:

    The same scene is better exposed after drastic changes to the shutter speed and aperture, this time 1/320th at f13.0:

    Any ideas what I was doing wrong? Could I have had the flash setting on “full” rather than “fill”? Would that explain this?

    I probably should have added that I've mostly been doing shots that are close up or just a few feet away--no attempts at wide angle. The lenes I have (and will probably stick with for a while) are the Olympus 60mm macro and the Olympus 12-50 mm. Would this information weigh more heavily for getting a second YS-01 and staying "balanced" rather than a D1?

    I have been shooting with an olympus EM-5 and a single YS-01 strobe. I've now got an EM-1 and a nauticam housing for it, and I'd like to get a second strobe. Should I get a second YS-01 or should I get a D1? If I get the more powerful D1, will there be a problem using two different strobes? I've mostly been shooting the camera on manual and use the strobe on TTL.

     

    Are there advantages to staying "balanced" with the same strobe on each side? Are there advantages/disadvantages if the second strobe is the D1?

     

    Any help or advice is much appreciated

    hello: I've been reading wetpixel for a while off and on, but I haven't tried to post a topic or question until now. I understand I need to do this "introduction" first in order to get authorization to open up a topic. complicated!
