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.

    • Some elements in (autofocus) lenses are „floating“, so I guess what you are experiencing is normal.
    • How do I turn off the electronic shutter in the menu - the option is grayed out and I cannot select the mechanical option
    • I'm having trouble finding a way to attach a right-angle viewfinder to the Fuji X-H1 camera. Does anyone have experience with how the angle viewfinder behaves in combination with the EVF? Is the Minolta frame diameter of the right angle viewfinder suitable for attaching to the Fuji XH1 (or XT1, 2, 3, 5)? Does anyone have knowledge about which eyepiece is compatible with the Fuji X system? Thank you in advance for any assistance and information you can provide.    
    • I purchased a gently used XF 80mm f/2.8 aspherical macro for my X-T5. Not being familiar with this lens but having had experience with the Leica T mount 60mm macro and Canon and Zeiss macros, I was surprised that I felt what might be best described as a loose lens element that shifted when I tilted the lens, even before being mounted to the camera. In manual focus mode, the lens is fine, but there is a distinct “wobble” when the lens is in autofocus mode. I reported this to the company (I bought it from KEH), and they agreed this was odd and accepted it back for a full refund. I just got a replacement lens and the same thing is happening. I’ve never had an experience in which I feel a lens element loose inside the housing. Is this normal? Should I return it (again)?
    • Old post but hope this can help. You have to make sure that exp. comp. is set to zero in P, S or A mode before you go in to manual mode. If the comp is set to, let say +5, and this is of the range for the settings in manual mode, twisting the comp dial (left dial) want do any changes.
