heinrichs TTL board stopped to work after 5dmk2 latest firmware

[famorim 0]

hi Folks,

I am experiencing a bad behavior with heinrichs ttl converter after upgrade my 5d to firmware 2.0.4. All my pictures are under exposed about -2. Before that firmware everything was working sell. my YS120 strobes till blinking the green light and sounding the signal of TTL.

 

does anyone got the same issue ?

 

Thanks

Hey Fabio

 

Not had that issue, but have you tried changing the micro switches on the HW to give you +2 EV? It doesn't explain what has gone wrong but it would be an easy and quick fix.

I tried that, but the shot still with -2 ponts sub exposed. It looks like the camera or ttl converter is understanding the image is with good light and stop the strobe light. The camera and converter is not speaking the same thing..

 

I am a bit curious because a friend with a 5dmk2 with first firmware tested and it worked very well without any issue.

 

Thanks

Fabio

Fabio,

 

Have you tried emailing Heinrichs-Weikamp about your problem? Try info@heinrichsweikamp.com. I received a prompt very informative reply when I asked several questions.

Hi Fred,

 

I already did that and he told me that it is new for him and I would wait a bit more until he get more information about that. I did the upgrade to the last version 2.0.7 I will try again in couple hours to see if it back to work..

 

Does any wetpixel user using this set ETTL Board+5mk2 fw 2.0.4 ?

 

thanks.

I will be in a few days when I get my housing back from Backscatter with new bulkheads. I'll report back here with what I find, although I've already upgraded to 2.0.7 myself. I'll be using Heinrich's OEM eTTL board, ordered just a month ago.

ckhorne,

I did few tests with new firmware 2.0.7 and the behavior still the same. Underexposed photos every time I tried, even changing the switch in the board or FEB in the camera...

 

I wish better luck for you.

 

Thanks.

Finally got everything working, and I have the same problem. I don't have a reference point of what it was doing before the 2.0.7 firmware, but I did find that to get proper exposure, I needed to set the exposure compensation on the HW converter board to +2.
