Hello,

just reading at the manual, I found out that my Yongnuo YN560-TXII controller, is supporting "Multi Flash Frequency & Flash count". Strobo flash photography is a new technique to me, so I wanted to have a go to learn something new.
I then mounted it on top of my X-T3 and tried to do some strobo Off Camera Flash with it, paired with a YN660 speedlite, without success. When the flash gets triggered by the controller, it flashes only once.
When I press the "test" button on the speedlite it works correctly.
When I mount the speedlite directly on the camera hotshoe, the multi mode works correctly.

Is there anything I am missing or the multimode won't work through a controller (despite being available)?

Thank you.

What are the flash settings in the camera? Is the YN660 set to Master or Slave?

In order to make strobo exposures, the camera needs to know to open the shutter and when to do so. It sounds like the speedlite is communicating with the camera when directly mounted, but your controller may not be. I assume you are triggering by radio transmission. Have you tried to trigger with the EF-X8? You will need to set the speedlite to Slave. This will verify the camera at least speaks "Yonguo". Perhaps the camera and trigger are in conflict at some level.

I am having similar problems with my YN 560 mark 3 and mark 4 flashes, When set to Multi mode they fire as they should (in multi mode) when I press the test button on the gun. But when the 560 TX transmitter is set to fire the flashes I only get the one flash. The transmitter is communicating with the flashes and is in Multi mode. 

What am I (we) doing wrong??

    • I have an XT30 and it suits my needs as an all around performer, compact, but not so small that it gets lost in your hand, plus it has good image quality. Downside, if video is important is that it is recommended that clips be limited to 10 minutes in length, due to the camera overheating. Another consideration might be that if image stabilization is important to you, the XT30/XT30ii relied on OIS in the lens and the current kit lens the 16-50 zoom does not have OIS, but there are lots of the older 18-55's out there that has it.  Have fun!
    • For photography, a camera with a viewfinder would be more functional in my opinion. The X-M5 is more aimed at video people. If you like the smaller form factor and rangefinder style, look for a secondhand X-E3 or X-E4 camera.
    • Apologies if this is a very basic question. I'm trying to assist a family member with something & having read the manual for the x-s10 & searched online I'm none the wiser. Can someone let me know if it is possible to have a live feed of the x-s 10 on an external screen (for example, a macbook)? or is connecting via the usb or hdmi only for transfer of photos etc.  Thanks.
    • I currently own the XH2s and am considering purchasing and XH2.  Is there an easy way to copy the basic settings from the XH2s to the XH2 or do I have to do this all manually? Thanks for any feedback.
    • Has anyone taken their XH2s or XH2 on Photo-Safari?  How did it go and what lenses did you find the most useful?  Can you post some photos from your trip? Wondering about using my Fuji cameras on a Safari to Africa in September or should I consider one of the Sony cameras?  Would like to hear from others who have used Fuji.  Wondering how valuable the extra reach and lightness of the kit is to the experience is.  Also wondering the quality of the final result (which is the entire point anyway) Thanks
