I have a Nissin i40 that I've used for over one year on my X-pro 1 in manual mostly and TTL mode as well.  Now the flash still works in manual mode but fails to fire in TTL mode.  Does anyone have any experience of knowledge of this problem?  Are there any suggestions on how to fix this without sending the unit out for service.

I have found my iNissin to be quite unpredictable in TTL on my X-T1.  So much that I'd consider it crap compared to my past Nikon body/flash combo history.  But until Fuji releases its own (hopefully this spring), I have had to make due.

 

What I have found helped (as sometimes mine would not fire in TTL when mounted on the camera) is I mount the iNissin on my camera when both the flash and camera are turned off.  I then turn on the iNissin, then turn on the X-T1.  I have found doing that (versus attaching the iNissin when the camera is already on) has helped increase the chances the iNissin will work.

OK, thanks, Adam I'll do that henceforth and see what happens.  I usually shoot using manual mode on the Nissin. I have guide numbers in my head to do some quick calculating with the flash zoom setting, distance of the flash to the subject, and aperture.  But there are occasions when life is simpler using TTL.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      Wow Jerry, Simply Wow and thanks: I switched off camera. Connected Cam to Mac with USB-C Switched on cam Looked at system report which said Camera PTP Then opened up Image Capture (I never even knew IC was still on the latest macOS) and the files on the GFX showed up. Then opened up LR and FINALLY GFX images showed.   Interestingly like all the cameras - You don't get to navigate to the /DCIM folder - but that's no big deal. *** But for the exercise I tried this on my Intel MacBook Pro running Monterey - but no luck there with the above steps (No big deal). I hav Eno idea how this even started to work - Is it the process of Looking at Sys Report or Just the fact that I opened it on Image Capture   OR that I Connected first THEN Switched on the camera.  What actually made it work? The Irony is I don't think Fuji Support in Aust have any idea about this as they have been stumped over this for the last few months.   Thanks Again  - truly appreciated!! John

      Time Code Synch

      By DMJpix · Posted

      FYI Update - I just learned that the Zoom F6 & F3 recorder/mixers also synch to the UltraSynch Blue over bluetooth. I am planning to record 32bit float on the F6 and it will have frame accurate matching time-code with my two-XH2S' and one XH2.

      Hopefully these will help some. For quite a while now Apple has put stuff into their operating system so that you cannot yourself open the connected camera’s card and see the images, you have to use their or third party software to do that.
