Godox flash - syncro problem


bronstaf

Recommended Posts

I have an X-T2 and a Godox 860. I have set the flash as a slave to the remote control connected to the camera. I am using the flash in manual mode through channel B.
I am taking still life photos with iso 200, f stop 5.6 and speed 60.
This is my problem.
Sometimes the remote control fires the flash and sometimes it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be a pattern. Although when the camera goes into "standby" it seems to also put the remote control into "standby". But the camera doesn't have to be on hold for this to happen.
I've tried changing the card, turning the camera on and off, selecting the channel on the remote, and testing the flash. Testing the flash shows me that the remote control and the flash are connected. Is there something in the camera settings that I should learn about? Is it, in fact, a problem with the camera or the flash?
Although I am new to flash photography, I am working on this with my photography teacher (who is a professional photographer) and she is just as confused as I am.
I would appreciate any advice that resolves this. Thanks in advance.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
