Re: Strange delay wireless flash NX30

Well Finder80, I have talked to another user and they have the same problem, Nikon or metz flashes don't work anymore, my studio flash set with old school one pin doesn't react anymore, all after the update. After a long and frustrating process of finding someone who knows something about this at samsung, they offered me to go to the tech repair centre in the Netherlands (I live in Belgium) where they could downgrade the camera again, as I can't do this at home apparently. They were not clear of this was under guarantee though, so I don't feel like spending a long drive and gas on something that might cost me money to fix even though in its original state all worked fine. There is a tiny constant signal coming from the flash shoe now instead of only when you take your picture and that is what makes almost all third party gear confused.

Let's just hope Samsung recognises this problem and in a new update they offer one-pin external flash signal or something as a solution. I am very happy with the rest of what my nx30 has to offer, but don't plan on buying new studio equipment, then I'd rather go back to my old nikon d7000.

@ MikeVH I guess the setup you use is the only one (other than samsung products) that works regardless of the upgrade. If there are people with other equipment that can make it work let me know, curious to know!
