Speedlite not working on Fuji X-T100

Hi,

I have a couple of Yongnuo YN560 IV that I've been using on my Nikon and my X-T2 without issues. I recently purchased an X-T100 as a day-to-day, carry around camera as I wanted to start using the X-T2 only for work and I've been super happy with the results and with how portable it is.

A friend asked me to take some pics with a flash of him and I wanted to use the X-T100 with one of the speedlights but I've been trying all out and none seem to work, while they work perfectly on the X-T2?

Has anyone had a similar problem or does anyone why this could be happening?

Thanks!

Check the camera menu settings to see if Sound and Flash is set to off or on.

One thing to try if it used to work and now does not: Do a full camera reset.

This can require using two or more menu options. Check your camera manual. Once the camera is set back to its original factory configuration as you previously had, it should work with the flash as it previously did.

Good luck!

PS: shooting modes can disable the flash, and might not have been reset with the full camera reset.  Also if you have put the camera into silent mode it might disable the flash.

Shooting Menu> Flash Setup>Commander mode

That works for me
