Fujifilm TX unit compatibility

itsmeitsme
in V6 II Compatibility
I think the integration between the TX unit and Fuji cameras can be improved:
The AF-assist signal from the camera is currently apparently not used
Settings in the in-camera flash menu are not propagated to the TX unit, and vice versa

    Thanks for your comments.

    AF-assis? It's Fujifilm's fault. :)
    They took it away. There's actually no AF-assist signal going through their camera hot shoe. This is something Cactus can't fake it.  But don't worry, we have a feature for user to manually switch on the AF-assist light on the V6 II. 

    Settings in the in-camera menu, on the next firmware release (FUJ.1.002?), when we enable Group metering.

    Thanks!

    I supposed there must be a AF-assist signal, as for example the Fuji EF-X500 and the Metz M400 do switch on their AF-assist light in darkness.

    Great you continue improving the firmware, I am looking forward to better camera-menu coupling and Metz M400 compatibility!

    You are right!~
    It does, after turning on the AF setting on the flash, the flash AF-assist light does turn on. 
    Cool stuff. Thanks for letting us know. 

    It shall be done on the next firmware release.

    Thank you!

    We are testing it now and the AF-assist light on the V6 II already turns on. So you are referring to the on-camera mounted M400?
