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

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.

    • Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii. 
    • Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

    • This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
