Advertisement Posted May 25, 2019 Posted May 25, 2019 Hi benedictc, Take a look here Flash Q with Leica Q/Q2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Leica Guy Posted May 26, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 26, 2019 Please search the Q forum. Plenty of comments. I prefer the SF-40. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRandom Posted May 26, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 26, 2019 Are you talking about the little wireless flash trigger setup from LightPix? I've tried it a couple of times on a Q along with with the SF26 and got mixed results. The problem with my setup is that the SF26 doesn't have manual controls. I think it would work well with a flash with manual controls. I have the original version with the changeable battery. I find that the battery is often dead when I want to use it.

ESS Posted May 28, 2019 Share #4 Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Has anyone managed to use studio flash with a Q2? No problems with using triggers and getting the flash to work. And no problems allowing the camera to automatically use a very high ISO and to expose as if there to be no flash. But if I set the IS0 to 100, the shutter speed to 1/250th and then the aperture to say f8 or f11 - settings that I would often find myself using in a studio situation - simply left me with a dark viewfinder in which i was unable to either focus or compose. Help and suggestions please. Edited May 28, 2019 by ESS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marchyman Posted May 29, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 29, 2019 Trying ISO 100, f/8, 1/125s, dark room on my Q. The viewfinder is not dark until I half press the shutter. No problems for focusing or composing. Oh... I'm using manual focus. That makes a difference. My scene mode is set to P-A-S-M. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help and suggestions please. You have to go to the main menu and change exposure preview from P-A-S-M to P-A-S. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
