I wonder if any one might have any ideas about this.
I have the following set up
Fuji XT-1
Fuji XE-2
2-Nissin i40 Flash units
Neewer FM Wireless Transmitter with two receivers
and the following problem
If I connect the flash units to the hot shoe on either camera both units fire OK as do the supplied Fuji flash units and the XT-1 works fine in commander mode
If I connect the Flash and Wireless set up to the XT-1 and press the transmitter test button, red light on transmitter flashes bright red all works fine the flash fires , if I then take a photo the transmitter light is very dim and the flash does not fire.
If I do the same with the XE-2 everything works as it should.
In both cases the dip switch settings are the same on both transmitter and receiver
I have a new battery in the transmitter and fully charged Eneloops in both the receiver and the flash.
I wonder if the trigger voltage on the XT-1 is not high enough to operate the transmitter, while I can work round this by using the XE-2 it concerns me that if I buy a studio flash ( Lencarta )with the appropriate (Godox) wireless trigger it is not going to work on the XT-1.
Any thoughts or am in the market for a new camera ?
Thanks in advance
Chris
