Re: External flash Sony 58 + SYK-6 flash remote controller not work on NX20

The problem is that the NX flash fires before the exposure to meter the scene and then fires when thr exposure occurs. If your optical trigger doesnt have a way to ignore pre-flash it will fire at the wrong time.
IIRC SYK6 doesn't have any buttons/switches.
I think you cannot force the flash on nx20 to not fire pre-flash so the only solution is to get a trigger that supports pre-flash or to find a tiny manual flash to mount on nx20 (manual flashes will fire only once).
