Flash Photography on FUJIFILM X100VI with the Godox X3

[@JK-vs2ir]

More tips for off camera flash with the X100 VI please!

Great presentation. More details on the subject of “checking the ambient light” plus off camera light shooting will be greatly appreciated.

[@lindaschettle8610]

You’ve made this sound exciting and fun enough for me to try. More please!

[@Framesbyfrisby]

Glad you did a breakdown because the photos are amazing!

[@movetomirrorless]

right on! thanks man! hope to see you there next time.

Great content. I’m from the Central Valley and didn’t didn’t know there was camera club. Good to know.

[@Cinq1]

Great Flash tutorial. That was very interesting

[@MapleLeaf98115]

There is no high speed synch option in the settings on the x3 for Fuji. How do i use high speed synch with the x3 for off camera flash? That is essential for outdoor photography and higher shutter speeds. I have the t-x5.

When using manual flash, is there any reason not to use the built in flash to trigger the off camera flash? Then you don't even need a trigger?

[@rlarsen4562]

Doesn't a neutral density filter also reduce the flash power ?

[@carlocamu4285]

More off-camera flash vids, please!

[@rlarsen4562]

So no TTL auto exposure ?

That’s great and all but that’s still a good amount of bulky equipment with the light stand and umbrella. Any tips on achieving the same or similar look with just the trigger and one speed light? Thanks.

[@movetomirrorless]

GOOD question. the main thing with light quality is this, if you want soft light, you'll have to diffuse it or alter it somehow... flashes by default are usually harsh sources of light. so if you are ok with that, you can just hand-hold the flash (which I sometimes do, if I don';t want to carry a light stand). this will still get it off the camera, you're just limited on how far you can hand hold the flash, then that introduces another problem. how long do you really want to hold the flash? it totally depends on what type of shoot you are doing.

[@dzeng]

@@movetomirrorless i don’t mind holding the flash but bringing a decent size soft box and setting it up is a buzz kill.

[@movetomirrorless]

@@dzeng agreed. you what though, it did help that I Brought along a savage drop stand, instead of a regular light stand. if you haven't seen those, they're light stands where the legs collapse inwards when you pick it up from the ground and then drops down and away from the stand when you put it down. it saved me time when setting up.

[@JayJayNay]

I’m wondering. Can you use any brand flash, e.g. a Sony as the off camera flash and have it triggered b6 the X3? Or do you also need a Godox flash as your off camera flash? Thank you. Great videos you make.

[@Photo_six]

loving your videos sir! Thank you!

[@kajstenman]

Please more of this Flash talks

[@kajstenman]

You do these videos really well - so hats off!

[@movetomirrorless]

Thanks so much! I was thinking of doing more flash-talk videos, so I appreciate the feedback.

Latest firmware v1.10 & v1.11 cant use a very close mode

[@monstermayank]

What do you mean by close mode?

[@santiagoboc]

My camera is not recognizing the trigger. It does not show the camera icon and the camera does not show the flash icon. The trigger and the flash are properly sync, I also tried only the flash connected directly to the camera and it works. Any idea on what could be happening?

[@hhglasenapp]

I´m experiencing the same. Did you solve it?

[@santiagoboc]

I got a replacement of the trigger and it worked perfectly. I called Amazon service (where I bought it) , they sent a new one and works fine. First one was a faulty unit

[@hhglasenapp]

@@santiagoboc Thanks! I'm gonna give it a few more tries, and I'll do the same as you. I'm gonna ask if I can try another copy in the store.

[@hhglasenapp]

@@santiagoboc I went back to the shop yesterday and the replacement works like it should! Thanks for the heads-up!

[@Chedda87]

I can't get the X3 to work on my Fujifilm XH2 does anybody know the solution?

[@Redcliff123]

This really complicated things and I don’t like it.
