X-T3 with Godox X2T-F

[Yonathan]

I have seen many posts regarding the faulty combination of the two.

To sum up the issues so far I noticed:

1. Occasional lag (orange LED) when shooting with the X2T-F attached. Supposedly to be fixed in the latest firmware V1.2, however I still experienced the same issue.

2. Flash Settings in the X-T3 defaulted to TTL always despite all my Godox Flashes are Manual-only. Tried switching to M but it always defaults back to TTL mode. And the mode switches back and forth occasionally on its own. This results in a slight delay when pressing the shutter button.

Very frustating indeed! Has anyone has these problems too?

It is a frustrating problem that placing a Godox flash or trigger on a Fuji camera will not allow the camera to be in anything but TTL mode. As far as I know it is the same for all Fuji cameras, and all Godox triggers except for X1T that reportedly has a firmware that fixes the problem.

This thread is a good read: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/62565196

Also, please write Godox an email. They need to fix it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Regarding the issue that a Fuji camera will always be in TTL mode if a Godox product is in the hot-shoe:

I got a sad response from Godox, but at least we know now that this issue will not be fixed. From this point on I can not regard Fujifilm and Godox to be actually compatible. (Many users will off course never feel this is a problem, but for shooting very timing specific action (think skateboarding or dancing) a delay to the shutter (because camera is always in TTL) is no joke.)

Here is the message from Godox:

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

shutter delay can be solve by turn on the TTL-lock, you can set it at any button
