I'm reading on the net there seem to be alot of problems about supported flash for this model. I won't even care about the EF-X500 because it costs almost like a used body.

I guess in manual every flash works, or almost. But what about a ttl/hss that suits the camera?

As far as I know, for X-E2 users, only Nissin's flashes, with their "HSS Force Trick" makes HSS work with X-E2. (But this "trick" does not work anymore after the Nissin firmware update!)

No other manufacturer seems to support HSS with X-E2! Not even Cactus, the HSS specialist!

I recently got my Godox TT350F and I am very disappointed: HSS did not work with X-E2!!
With the latest firmwares, there seems to be any more possibility for using HSS with X-E2!!

It would be nice if anyone out there could tell us more about HSS support for X-E2. Will there be a firmware fix for the X-E2? (And how about the X-E2s?) ...

I have purchased a newly updated Air1 + i60A last week (prior to having received feedback from Seller + Distributor, that HSS is supposed to work on X-E2).

In short my disappointing results so far: it does neither work on-, nor off-camara on X-E2 (v4.00)!!

 

Hapa-Team as German distributor has confirmed to me today, that the latest update has been installed on both units.

Asked for the proper camera settings, I've been provided with some unhelpful X-T2 menu screenshots, while they didn't have any X-E2 available to test the HSS feature.

 

A direct request at Nissin to clarify the issue has been made & answer is outstanding ...

 

I cannot recommend purchasing the above Nissin products, if you want to use those on your X-E2 for HSS.

Did you try to downgrade the latest update to see if it works? For example, I've read Nissin has also released the update to make the i40 works ttl or I don't remember what, but I haven't sent it to have the job done because it fills my needs the way it is now.

Sorry, I'm not sure whether I have understood you correctly.

 

Why would I want my newly purchased Nissin flashes to send-in for a downgrade, while I could have easily purchased the non-updated gear in the first place?

Also I want HSS to work, which I know the old firmware (at least the i60A to my knowledge) didn't support.

 

Or did you refer to the camera firmware downgrade?

    • Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help. 
    • I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?
    • I have the same issue. Have you found the the solution?

    • On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
