Triggertrap help

[mammothcar1]

Hi all,

 

I'm a new member here, and sorry if my first post is with a question for help, but I'd appreciate any insight with this.

 

The shutter on my camera will not take a picture with Triggertrap. The camera is getting some sort of signal from my phone- the camera's on-screen menu will flash briefly as if the next step would be the shutter moving- but the shutter never closes. 

 

I have the X-T10 and just bought Triggertrap's MD3-R9 kit for Fuji. ( This kit uses a usb connector instead of the the mic connector.) 

 

All of my camera settings are in manual, and my Fn buttons are set as Rico had recommended in his book '115 X-pert tips'.

 

The volume control on my phone is set to max. 

 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

Is there some setting that I have enabled that is preventing the signal from firing the shutter?

 

Thank you for your help.

Are you in bulb mode?

Are you in bulb mode?

Just double checked, doesn't trigger the shutter in bulb mode.

I had the same problem with my TriggerTrap at first. I figured out, it was a loose contact. Try to pull out the plug out the jack a little (0.5 mm or so) and try again. If it works then, you have two options. Either send the TriggerTrap back and wait for a replacement or (that's the way I went) open the casing and bend the contacts of the female jack - so the contacts of the plug fit.

I glued it together and had no problems again so far. It seems, the quality control of TT has some room for improvement.

Thanks for the idea. I gave that a try and unfortunately that didn't work.
