Yongnuo Trigger Issue

What am I doing wrong? X-E1, E2 & Pro1 hot shoe's are not triggering a Yongnuo RF-603C II. A flash mounted on second 603 will fire when the manual (test) button on the camera 603 is pressed, so I conclude the Yongnuo's are working properly, but that the camera 603 isn't receiving a trigger signal from the camera. Cameras set to S mode (single shot) and silent mode is off. Tried in both auto and manual. I've read that X bodies WILL trigger the Yongnuo so I'm puzzled. Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks Trenton, but none of my bodies have electronic shutters. I've tried both TX and TRX modes on the camera's 603. Interestingly, the test button on the camera 603 will only trigger the second 603 with strobe if it's in TRX mode, i.e., both 603's must be in TRX mode.

Hi LightShaper,

 

I'm using Yongnuo RF-603 II on my X-T1 successfully now...

 

The first ones I bought where V1.0 (you can find version printed on the side of the packing) and did not work with my Fujifilm. I send them back and got another one with V1.2, which work as expected.

 

Regards, Thorsten

I've had this happen twice with these triggers (RF-603CII). On the first occasion I discovered that I'd accidentally changed the channel setting when I changed the batteries. On the second occasion (and I sometimes still do this!) I hadn't fully pushed the transmitter into the camera's hotshoe (it's deceptive: you think it's fully inserted, but it needs an extra push for the last few millimetres). Apologies if you've already checked all this!

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
