What is your EFCS (electronic first curtain) setting?

I'm trying to use the yongnuo RF-603c wireless triggers. They work fine with a NX100 body, but on the NX30 there is a strange delay with the exact same setup. It fires a fraction of a second too late, so it wont sync with the shutter speed, but does fire.

Does anyone know what causes this and perhaps even has a solution?

My setup:

NX30 (with samsung nx 60mm)

2 RF-603c yongnuo wireless triggers

tried a sef42a and sef15a samsung flash

I notice my camera disables EFCS automatically when internal wireless flash is used.

My guess is the flash might not sync correctly if EFCS is enabled with your wireless triggers, and since they are after-market triggers the camera might not be smart enough to disable EFCS automatically.

Try disabling EFCS and see if it works (it is near the bottom of the 2nd menu from the bottom, the menu that looks like the user settings or something).
