Can't configure X-T1 for wireless flash

[Therapeuo63]

I'm trying to use off camera flash with the X-T1.  I'm using the FlashQ triggers.  The flash units will fire but something is wrong and the camera is not capturing the properly exposed image...the pictures are black.  

 

In the Q menu the only flash options available are suppressed or M.  The "OTHER FLASH SETTINGS" in the camera menu settings only allows red eye removal as an option.  Very frustrating.  Silent mode is off, shutter is set to manual (not electronic), burst mode is off.  I reset the shooting and set-uo menu to factory default and the issue remains.

 

I need to be able to mount a wireless trigger to the hot shoe in Manual exposure mode and dial in 1/180 sec or lower shutter speed and select an aperture manually...basic portrait set up.  Everything works perfect on my x100s selecting External flash and on my Nikon DSLR.

 

How do I break the code and enable this capability?  Reading the manual is of no help.

 

Thanks

My guess would have been the silent mode or electronic shutter. I use a Yongnuo yn560-tx. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I even put the supplied camera flash on the hot shoe, set everything to TTL and although the flash unit fires the images are black as if no flash was used.  I guess I'll have to try and contact Fuji and send it in for service.  Really ticks me off.

Are you using manual shutter? what is the shutter speed? If you exceed the synchro speed by several stops you won’t get any image

Hi, I was using manual shutter and within the 1/180 sec or less sync speed.  I reset the camera to default settings (again) and the issue has now cleared thankfully.
