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).

Thanks. Apart from the pop-up flash, I tried the SEF 20A flash as well. However, there is no way to disable the TTL of pop-up and 20A flash. The Sony flash cannot syn with the camera.
