timsep Posted January 12, 2024 Share #1  Posted January 12, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, I just purchased a Godox v1(N) to use as a flash on my leica cameras, I'm concentrating with the Q first, but I've had issues when setting it up for manual usage. I've setup the menus properly and the flash (set in manual mode) will trigger. However I'm noticing that the live view and evf are flashing every couple of seconds along with the Flash Icon on the upper screen making it impossible to get room exposure down first then adjust my flash. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'll admit I'm new to the flash game, normally just take natural lighting photos, but I want to expand my knowledge a little more.  Thanks for an advice / help Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 12, 2024 Share #2 Â Posted January 12, 2024 Basically Leica cameras only function properly with Leica flashes. However using a flash on Automatic should be possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsep Posted January 12, 2024 Author Share #3  Posted January 12, 2024 I actually figured it out, it's because I had exposure preview set to PASM, not PAS. D'oh!   Thank you though for the insight! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
