I have just replaced my Canon SLR with a Fujifilm X-T10 and still have my Canon Speedlite 430EX flashgun.

 

I have seen various posts regarding using these two together in online forums but would like to get a definitive answer to the following:

 

1. Can this flashgun be used safely on the X-T10? I have read about differing voltage requirements between Canon and Fuji?

 

2. The flashgun has 5 pins on the base whereas the X-T10 only has 3 pins and a larger spherical contact on the hot shoe, what is the significance of this?

 

3. Will the flashgun operate in TTL mode on the X-T10?

 

4. If not is the flashgun compatible in manual mode? How do I go about using the two together in this mode?

 

5. Should I buy a flashgun dedicated to the X-T10? If so any recommendations?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I don't have a 430EX but I have used a 580exII and a 600EXRT on my Fuji XT1 back when I first started using Fuji. The Canon flashes can be used safely on Fuji cameras. They will not have TTL, it is manual flash only. I'm not familiar with how the 430EX works but you should be able to push the mode button to change it to manual mode. If you leave it in TTL mode I'm pretty sure it will just fire at full power. 

 

As for buying a dedicated flash, it completely depends on how much you use it and whether or not you're comfortable using manual flash. I only use manual flash for my Fuji cameras but I have over a decade of experience with manual flash. I can usually walk into a room and guess my exposure settings and flash levels before I get my cameras out.

      By mapoett · Posted

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      By JovialLich · Posted

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Not sure how to delete threads, but I figured out what was wrong. In short, I was partially misunderstanding the view-mode's function. Also, the "+LCD Image Display" part requires that you have the Image Disp. setting set to anything but Off. Then it will display your last image on the LCD. If it's off, it's behavior will be exactly like the plain Eye Sensor setting.
