Fujifilm X-Pro2 HSS with Nissin i40

tothehearttotheheart
in V6 II Problems
Dear,

I still don't seem to get the HSS working with the X-Pro2 and the Nissin i40 flash.
The V6 II's have the latest firmware, so does the X-Pro2 (v2.01). The flash settings on the camera are set to TTL.
The flash does flash, but the camera shows a black image. I re-updated both the camera and the transceivers, nothing helps. I also tried to use a Metz 48-1 flash for Sony with HSS (only contact it has is the middle contact through a conversion piece) there it sometimes works.

Any idea how I could get it to work?

Thanks in advance for the help!
Regards,
Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    The Nissin i40 for Fujifilm DOES NOT SUPPORT HSS NATIVELY.

    So it's impossible for you to do HSS, unless you could hack i40's firmware ;)

    Thanks!

    TTL or HSS not working on Cactus V6 II and V6 IIs? Be sure to check hot shoe connectivity by doing the <CAMERA INFO> check.

    Hi Antonio,

    It seems that it does work with this workaround:

    http://photomadd.com/nissin-i40-high-speed-sync-hss-fujifilm-hidden-option/

    It doesn't give you TTL, but all in manual mode it works fine. Only thing it only works till 1/4000s..

    Interesting!  So perhaps the flash duration is long enough?

    Despite I don't understand how a Canon TTL cable would trick it...

    Thanks @totheheart

    I40 has hidden hss on M mode, but after update to new flash system on camera (like my xt1 5.0 or xpro2) this function not work anymore. it because fuji change sync of flash and I40 still on the same sync.

    this is my old video whit i40 + cactus + xt1
