Help me setup my flash please...

[Mark G]

Hi all,

I have bought a pair of Yongnuo 560 Mk iv's and a 560-TX to use with my Fuji X-T1 and X-Pro 1.

I have had a play with the flashes and so far I'm really impressed, they seem to do everything very well. However, I can't seem to get the Multi (Stroboscopic mode) working correctly. I can set the flashes up, for 5 flashes at 5 Hz @ 1/128 power and all that happens is I get 1 flash at 1/128 power. The only way I can get it to fire five times is to hold the Pilot button down on the speedlight. I have tried this remotely using the TX and also with the camera directly mounted and both times it only ever fires the one flash.

Please help me if you know where I'm going wrong as I'd like to use this function on Saturday night for a charity event I'm covering.

Many Thanks

Mark.

There is a warning in the manual that battery condition will limit the frequency of multi-flash operation......ie, the flash can't recharge fast enough to enable the next flash. Try reducing the frequency to see if the basic function works (ie, 1Hz or 0.5Hz).

Hi Bob, thanks for that.

I can't even get it to fire twice at 1/128th power. I'm using fully charged Eneloops too so battery power is definitely not an issue.

I'm thinking its either operator error or the fact that it's a Fuji this feature may just not work?

Anyone have any ideas on this one? I'd really like to use this feature tomorrow if I can get it to work successfully.
