Flash trigger issue after X-T3 3.20 FW update

[fchastel]

Hi all,

I have an issue with triggering off camera flash since I updated the FW of my X-T3 to version 3.20. The flash is only being triggered about 8 out of 10 times, which is very distracting and annoying. I tried with two different flash brands (GODOX trigger + flash, Elinchrom trigger + flash) and see the same problem. I have used the same set-up for about 30 shootings (at ~1000 shots per shooting) last year and never had this issue. I could now observe it during the two shootings I had after I upgraded to 3.20.

The issue doesn't immediately occur. During the first shooting, it happened after about 3 hours. During the second shooting, it happened after about 1 hour. I use the X-T3 with the vertical grip and 3 original NP-W126S batteries. I was suspecting a battery issue during the first shooting and therefore ensured that they were fully charged for the second shooting but it did not solve the issue.

Does anyone have experienced a similar issue? 

Thanks and cheers

Fred

I've found an issue with my X-T3 and Godox's X2T where it will lock the camera up, not sure if that is the same issue you are having or if it is contributing or not.  No trigger, no problem.  Flash on camera, no problem.
