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!

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica).

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?

      Infrared

      In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info. As regards lenses, I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best.
