Advertisement Posted January 4, 2022 Posted January 4, 2022 Hi Mark Walch, Take a look here SF60 flash. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
FMB Posted January 4, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 4, 2022 Be sure you have pushed your flash in the hot shoe of the camera till it was locked and well fixed on it. 😕 Look at your camera screen to see if the flash symbol appears; if not there is no conection.

douglas ball Posted January 6, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 6, 2022 I recently had a problem with my s1R when the flash did not fire. It had always worked perfectly before. Turns out the problem was that I was in electronic Shutter mode. Once I went back to mechanical it functioned perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbabbott3 Posted January 28, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 28, 2022 MY SL2 works fine after a prophylactic Reset Camera; Shutter is on Mechanical; Flash 1st symbol is in Viewfinder; SF 60 can be manually triggered on or off camera, but never by the camera. Changing zoom lenses made no difference and I am now using a 50mm f/2.0 lens. Flash set on TTL, camera in A or P, no difference. Auto ISO. AFs. Firmware is 3.0. A soft eraser and alcohol have been used to clean contact on flash and camera. Flash worked perfectly with dealers SL2. Frustration meter is now pegged at highest level since rapid film advance in R7 allowed light to leak through the exposure number window and fog some film images.Bummer. Sounds like My SL2 and My SF 60 do not play well together. Maybe a Three Sigma flash and Three Sigma camera meet and refuse to talk. Suggestions? Sell Leica?

FMB Posted January 29, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 29, 2022 Are there in your flash settings for ""Auto ISO with flash" (ISO max or time expossure) out of range in your actual camera settings? Are you using always Auto ISO when you fire your flash? If you set a fix value of ISO also fails? If you set your camera in Manual Mode at 1/250 speed also fails? In slow speeds, Auto ISO priority can block the action of your flash. Francisco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoworks Posted January 31, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 31, 2022 Make sure you have the latest SL2 Firmware. there was a bug in the older version where the camera flash didn't fire when the lightmeter saw enough light for an exposure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fngl51 Posted January 31, 2022 Share #7 Posted January 31, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) If all else fails, you can search for EN_SF 60_Aktualisierung 2020.pdf on the Leica site. You might also look on the Nissin website for instructions for the corresponding flash. Getting the settings correct can be a bit tricky, especially when using the SF C1 trigger at first. I use both regularly in manual and TTL mode. The point about the electronic shutter is also important as the flash will not trigger,at least in manual mode. You might also look for the instructions for the Nissin i60a, which does a good job at explaining some of the dials and functions. See for example Nissin_i60A_Manual_FujiFilm.pdf.
