p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Using X-T2 and studio flash with IR remote


I have been using a Dynalite M1000 flash system for over 20 years with a Wein SSR-JR IR flash trigger. This has worked with all of my past film and digital gear until now. For some reason, the X-T2 and X-100F will not set off the flash trigger. The Fuji cameras that work include my X-Pro2, X-T1, and past XE models. All menus have been set to match each other.

Any ideas? Is it possible that the hot shoe does not set off a strong enough signal to activate the Wein trigger on the X-T2 and X100F? The Fuji and Nissin flashes work fine. I am willing to go with a new remote system if anyone knows one that works fine. The power pack does not have RC built in, just an IR sensor.

I updated the firmware but that did not affect the function of the flash trigger. AF is faster though

I then got an inexpensive 2.5mm submini to PC cord and shazam, the trigger works perfectly. Apparently the X-T2 doesn't kick out enough juice in the hot shoe to trigger this Wein unit. Funny that my X-Pro2 does. Anyway, I now have it functioning. I'll probably be looking for a radio remote to replace the Wein at some point.
