The Secret to Underwater Photography with Olympus and Panasonic Cameras

Are you an Olympus TG-6 user frustrated by lackluster shots? Are you struggling to get great color and contrast underwater without putting a lot of work into the edit? Adding a strobe flash at the right intensity is the key to bright, beautiful images below 40 feet (12 meters).

But things move fast underwater and it can be hard to keep up with adjusting settings on both your camera and strobes between each shot. When using the RC1 TTL Receiver and a compatible Ikelite DS Strobe, you can take advantage of the camera's special RC Flash Mode (Olympus) or Wireless Flash Mode (Panasonic). This mode basically gives your camera a remote control to adjust your strobe power automatically for the right amount of fill light on each shot.

The RC1 provides TTL exposure with a wide range of Olympus and Panasonic models including the Olympus TG-5, Olympus TG-6, Olympus E-M1 Mark II, Panasonic GH5, and more.

Jean Rydberg, daughter of Ike Brigham, became President & CEO of Ikelite in 2006. Prior to that, she wisely pursued a degree in Astronomy & Astrophysics to prepare herself for the challenges of running a technology-driven manufacturing business with global distribution. Jean fully embraces the need to travel outside of her hometown of Indianapolis to experience good diving. She believes that any camera is capable of amazing results in the right hands, and anyone can become a great photographer given the desire (and the right advice).
