Actually, I started trying to use a trigger. When that didn't work, I used 2 flashes, the first being a Yongnuo. Neither would fire.

My main system is Sony. I shoot in M, all the time indoors. I can shoot flash w/o shutter lag, sometimes up to 250 SS.

I followed your advice and adjusted the shutter to 125 and both the flash and the trigger fired.

Thank you.

the NX20 will fire fine up to 1/160th but higher then that it won't trigger. 
Different camera makers different sync speeds. The NX30 has a higher sync which will be nice. 1/125 is almost universally safe
