I have just replaced my Canon SLR with a Fujifilm X-T10 and still have my Canon Speedlite 430EX flashgun.

 

I have seen various posts regarding using these two together in online forums but would like to get a definitive answer to the following:

 

1. Can this flashgun be used safely on the X-T10? I have read about differing voltage requirements between Canon and Fuji?

 

2. The flashgun has 5 pins on the base whereas the X-T10 only has 3 pins and a larger spherical contact on the hot shoe, what is the significance of this?

 

3. Will the flashgun operate in TTL mode on the X-T10?

 

4. If not is the flashgun compatible in manual mode? How do I go about using the two together in this mode?

 

5. Should I buy a flashgun dedicated to the X-T10? If so any recommendations?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

I don't have a 430EX but I have used a 580exII and a 600EXRT on my Fuji XT1 back when I first started using Fuji. The Canon flashes can be used safely on Fuji cameras. They will not have TTL, it is manual flash only. I'm not familiar with how the 430EX works but you should be able to push the mode button to change it to manual mode. If you leave it in TTL mode I'm pretty sure it will just fire at full power. 

 

As for buying a dedicated flash, it completely depends on how much you use it and whether or not you're comfortable using manual flash. I only use manual flash for my Fuji cameras but I have over a decade of experience with manual flash. I can usually walk into a room and guess my exposure settings and flash levels before I get my cameras out.

      Also, there's a setting "Shoot without a lens" that needs to be turned on for lenses with no contacts and adapted manual lenses, otherwise the camera won't respond to the shutter button when you have a manual/old/no contact lens attached.

      So, the lens isn't focusing. What is the original lens you were using? Is the camera switched to an auto-focus mode? S or C

      When I look through the view finder it’s blurred along with the image showing on the screen. So when I take the picture it comes out blurry as well. The information is still showing clearly on both the screen and viewfinder.  I bought a cheap lens from pocket dispo and when I put that one on the camera I can see the images clearly through the viewfinder with no problem but I’m unable to take a picture.  I’m not sure but I thought the lens would click into place when attached to the camera but I’m not hearing that noise anymore. Tried to upload a picture of the camera but it’s saying the file is too large.

      HDMI issue

      By Tomasz GFX · Posted

      Hi there,  I just got a DJI video transmission system and want set it up with my GFX 100 II.  The problem is, that it doesn't work when I connect the HDMI cable to the transmitter.  The camera display goes on and off about every second and there is no video transmission.  Has anyone had the same issue?  I have checked the following: - the HDMI video resolution is set to FHD 16:9 30fps - HDMI output settings: output info display is set to OFF - HDMI output settings: HDMI rec control is set to OFF - HDMI output settings: RAW output settings set to OFF - The latest firmware is installed on both the camera and the DJI transmitter  - Both the camera and transmitter have fully charged battery  - Video transmission from another camera works [using a different cable, though A <-> B ] I have tried 2 different HDMI cables and tomorrow I'll test it with another "ultra-fast" one.  Omitting the transmitter and connecting the camera directly to the DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor works perfectly with both cables I've tried.  Have you heard about any HDMI problems with Fujifilm cameras?  Do you have any suggestions?
