Hello everybody,

 

I recently purchased a godox X2T-N and Xpro-N to use with my Leica SL 601. The thing is, whenever I turn on the remote control units the display and viewfinder start to flicker between more light and less light view of the scene. Is it normal? Is it possible to avoid it?

 

Thanks,

 

Adam.

That doesn't sound right to me. Have you tried cleaning the sync contacts?

Change your P-A-S-M setting to P-A-S as a first step.  I have to do this with all of my Leica cameras when using manual mode flash triggers such as the Godox Nikon versions.

Some trigger that are not made for leica have some issues. Nikon pin line up to leica hotshoes ports, but not to correct cabeling. Some triggers can cause a crash of the camera OS.

If you are using this trigger you are probably using it in manual mode. you can eliminate your problems by taping the ports on the hotshoe, and just keep the middle pin exposed. This way the camera does not think a flash is plugged in that it needs to talk to.
