Any X-E2 owner using a flash?


Recommended Posts

I'm reading on the net there seem to be alot of problems about supported flash for this model. I won't even care about the EF-X500 because it costs almost like a used body.

I guess in manual every flash works, or almost. But what about a ttl/hss that suits the camera?

As far as I know, for X-E2 users, only Nissin's flashes, with their "HSS Force Trick" makes HSS work with X-E2. (But this "trick" does not work anymore after the Nissin firmware update!)

No other manufacturer seems to support HSS with X-E2! Not even Cactus, the HSS specialist!

I recently got my Godox TT350F and I am very disappointed: HSS did not work with X-E2!!
With the latest firmwares, there seems to be any more possibility for using HSS with X-E2!!

It would be nice if anyone out there could tell us more about HSS support for X-E2. Will there be a firmware fix for the X-E2? (And how about the X-E2s?) ...

I have purchased a newly updated Air1 + i60A last week (prior to having received feedback from Seller + Distributor, that HSS is supposed to work on X-E2).

In short my disappointing results so far: it does neither work on-, nor off-camara on X-E2 (v4.00)!!

 

Hapa-Team as German distributor has confirmed to me today, that the latest update has been installed on both units.

Asked for the proper camera settings, I've been provided with some unhelpful X-T2 menu screenshots, while they didn't have any X-E2 available to test the HSS feature.

 

A direct request at Nissin to clarify the issue has been made & answer is outstanding ...

 

I cannot recommend purchasing the above Nissin products, if you want to use those on your X-E2 for HSS.

Did you try to downgrade the latest update to see if it works? For example, I've read Nissin has also released the update to make the i40 works ttl or I don't remember what, but I haven't sent it to have the job done because it fills my needs the way it is now.

Sorry, I'm not sure whether I have understood you correctly.

 

Why would I want my newly purchased Nissin flashes to send-in for a downgrade, while I could have easily purchased the non-updated gear in the first place?

Also I want HSS to work, which I know the old firmware (at least the i60A to my knowledge) didn't support.

 

Or did you refer to the camera firmware downgrade?
