Xt2 flash problem

[MacOne]

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has had this problem. I can’t get My xt2 to recognise any flash or trigger. It is always in sync terminal mode. I have reset the camera numerous times and tried different flashes and triggers to no avail. It will fire in manual but get banding after 200/1ss due to no hss but still says sync terminal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks

Do you use the electronic shutter? The flash will work only with the mechanical shutter.

And, welcome to our forum!

Hi Olaf W,  thank you for your reply. It’s on mechanical only. It sounds like a pin problem not picking up anything on camera ? But yet it does fire the flash manual only but only up to 200/1 at shutter sync x 250/1 I get black band .

 Thanks

What flash are you using? As far as I know (I'm no specialist here) Fuji has a special pin layout so you need a flash made for Fuji cams.

I’m using Godox v1 for Fuji also xpro trigger for Fuji.
Thanks

Hi Olaf, I have just tried the Fuji EF-X8 flash and it doesn’t recognise it or fire it....?

[Olaf W.]

That‘s strange. Perhaps one of the contacts is faulty.

Thank you for your help its most appreciated.

Hi Sean, I had the same problem and I've cleaned pins from the flash and plates on camera with alcohol wipe and it worked. Probably it was just grease/dirt residue on it. I hope that will help you.

Hi,

I just bought a Godox Xpro Transmitter and a Godox 685F in order to use with my X-T2.
When I mount my Godox 685F to my Fuji XT2's shoe, it works perfectly and appears in the flash menu, but when I replace it with the Godox Xpro transmitter the Xpro seems to be invisible in the camera, I guess that my camera should recognize the transmitter in the flash menu [SHOE mount FLASH] is it correct ]? Though it is not the case.
MENU>Synchronization terminal I have "M" or "OFF" as if nothing was connected.

I have set DIST triggering on 0-30 m triggering.
Firmware is up to date, battery is ok. So I don't know what is the issue, maybe a configuration error or a faillure.   Could it be something about the code switch ?
