Rapid shots while shooting with Flash

[Bshattuck]

I've recently adopted an XT-10 and an X100T to replace my Canon DSLR setup for wedding photography and I'm running into a very frustrating issue where the Fuji's simply cannot keep up with the style of shooting i'd learned with DSLRs.

 

While shooting with a flash, I cannot seem to find a way to have the Fuji shoot two or more photos in quick succession. With the DSLR, this is not an issue, as long as the flashes recycle, the camera will fire quite rapidly.

 

My setup is the Nissin i40 on top of a Phottix Strato trigger to allow for TTL passthrough (much like the Cactus triggers that are mentioned at length in this sub-forum). That stratos trigger fires two Godox 850 manual flashes which are on stratos receivers.

 

I've tried using manual focus (back button AF) in order to eliminate any lag from the AF system, which doesn't seem to speed up the overall system.

 

What camera settings on the Fuji should I be looking at? I'm about to test different combinations of disabling image review, or having the nissing i40 fire in manual as well to eliminate TTL from potentially causing lag.

 

It just seems like the system needs to reset 'something' in between every single shot.

 

Any ideas to test, tips or solutions would be welcome!

If I recall correctly the newest 4.20 FW should allow you to do that, as long as you are on mechanical shutter and not faster than 1/180 of a sec and silent mode needs to be deactivated.

The newest for the X-T1 is 4.21 which reverts the 4.20 changes due to bugs in 4.20. It'll get re-released hopefully soon. This has not made it to other cameras as far as I'm aware.

I still keep FW4.20 due to rapid (continious) firing. You'll need to wait till it gets fixed (in 4.22 probably)
