After reading Rico Pfirstinger's book 'The FujiFilm X100F 101 X-pert Tips" I was convinced that syncing my X100F to a Nikon SB-910 Speedlight flash would work.

After hours of testing and trying I didn't succeed firing the SB-910. These are my settings:

1. X100F connected to SB-910 with male to male PC Sync cable. A Pixel TF-321 hot shoe adapter (Canon pins because this one is the only that fits the Fuji hot shoe) mounted on the X100F.

2. Built-in flash of X100F set OFF. Flash Function setting: Manual 

3. Nikon SB-910 set Manual

 

Anyone any idea and/or suggestion?

I have done some tests using 2 Cactus V6II transmitters to trigger my Nikon SB800 off-camera.   In TTL mode and with the X100F  in aperture priority, I did manage to trigger the flash.  The sync speed is quite low (1/34 sec) but similar with the builtin flash.  I didn't manage to trigger the flash mounted directly on the body nor with one transmitter in between.

 

The leaf shutter causes weird timing issues.  

 

On the other hand triggering the Nikon flash off-camera as a slave of the builtin flash did work (use the commander mode).

my advice is to sell nikon SB910 and with the money to buy Godox xt-1 f trasmitter and godox  tt 865F

      x-s20 3.30 firmware bluethooth xapp no longer working

      By arzugar · Posted

      Hi, Same issue here since the firmware update. I'm on ColorOs (android 13) on an Oppo Find X3 Lite for reference, it really is a shame if they do not plan on releasing an update. The only solution I see for now would be to downgrade the firmware to the previous version, using some shady hacks, but not sure how safe it is.

      XT-3 with X2T-F Controller - opposite of the usual problem

      By louiscar · Posted

      Hi Folks,  I'm trying to find out why my X2T-f actually has the opposite problem when on the hotshoe of my XT-3. Most people complain about it forcing TTL mode. Mine will NOT work in TTL any shape or form. TTL is dead - The camera flash section only shows manual and no power setting is available in that section. I've only ever been able to set my 2 flash groups to work in manual  and actually I cannot even remember if TTL ever worked. I just have to set the correct power settings. When a flash is set to work in TTL mode it fires weakly and simply doesn;t respond to the conditions - not surprisingly as the camera is already telling me this will be the case I  only realised this when I bought an XT3 trigger and it forced only TTL mode as soon as I attached it and turned it on. Speed is immediately set to 60 in AP. That's no problem to me as it works fine if I go manual on the camera and set speed to whatever I need slower or faster, TTL works flawlessly in manual or AP mode and I realised that my X2T must be faulty (perhaps since I bought it?). I've spent hours looking in the menu for an answer. I even reset it, reverted to firmware 1.1 and then back to 1.4. Nothing alters this behaviour, there is no TTL and the camera doesn't recognise it.  So before I deem this faulty and bin it, or just keep is as a manual backup, I thought I'd just ask here to see if anyone has had a similar problem and found a way to make it work.
