XT2 + iNissin = problem with TTL?

[Adam Woodhouse]

Tried using the iNissin 40 in TTL on my next XT2 tonight and found a problem.  Even though I had the flash set to TTL and the camera flash menu set to TTL, the flash would fire but at a very low output and not do proper TTL.  I had to put it back on my XT1 to keep going as an on camera TTL should.  I've been using the iNissin on my XT1 for 2 years now, so am familiar with it.

 

Anyone else experience this on the XT2?

Yes the Nissan 40 will not work with the XT-2 had same problem seen a couple of bit of info on the net say they will not work

With XT-2

In addition to TTL not working, setting the Nissin i40 to manual mode does not result in getting a full power flash off the nissin. My Yongnuo 560 IV does not have a problem in manual gladly.

Well this sucks.

 

When the new Fuji 500 flash comes out I expect a firmware update for the XT1.  I may not apply it if I learn it breaks the iNissin.

Yes this is a bummer. I'm hoping Nissin will issue a firmware update.

Apparently there is a firmware update, but you'll need to send the flash in to the distributor for the update.

A little trick to get the i40 to work at least in manual - tape over the 4 pins in the back of the camera hot shoe, leaving the large silver and small gold pin in front exposed. You can now use the i40 in manual. Not perfect, but better than not at all.

Nissin have released a firmware update for the i40. In the UK the importers are Kenro. You have to send the flash to them. They charged £24 and I got it back within three days. It now works on camera. I have found however that I can not use the flash off camera with the Canon style remote lead that I had for the X-T1.
