I use the same setup. Make sure the flash trigger is fully seated in the gx7. You have to push HARD. it should snap into place. I never use multimode so I can't comment on that. My setup works just fine.

I'm not sure what to say... But it worked! After I tried to push it in really hard, the flash never failed to trigger for some time. At first I don't think thi's is the cause since the flashgun still gave me blue light when I took the shot. Anyway, thank you very much.

No problem at first this gave me issues too. Pushing that hard to seat the flash doesn't feel good but it does the trick once it is snapped in. You should find that at lower flash powers the gx7 will actually sync up to 1/400 with just a very small black band or sometimes none at all. It easily syncs at 1/320.
