EOS 5D Mark IV not triggering Godox Xpro & Godox V1-C

Mistermixson — Tue, 05 Sep 2023 13:43:22 GMT

Im having issues with firing my flash. ive used to a good amount of times before but as of the last time I was shooting the flash stopped firing. As since I can only get it to fire a few times in "ETTL" mode but in Manual the flash is not firing at all. I have made sure to disable silent live view but it still will not fire, in live view or through the viewfinder nothing is working with the trigger OR with the flash mounted on the camera. any ideas?

Do you have another flash to try mounted on your camera? If another works, then your Godex flash would need servicing.

Do you have flash firing enabled in the camera's menu?

Do you have wireless flash enabled in the camera menu? What brand and model is your second flash?

Have you tried a Canon speedlite to verify that the camera is communicating with the speedlite.

What brand and model is your second flash?

It is in the red #1 menu, under External Speedlite control. If you have a Canon flash attached, you can set wireless functions there, or on the flash itself. The menu will only show this with an attached Canon flash.

The trigger may be incompatible.

It may not be communicating with your camera correctly.

V1-C only firing in ETTL mode on 5D Mark IV

Mistermixson — Wed, 06 Sep 2023 00:46:39 GMT

My v1-c is does not fire with the flash in manual mode on my canon 5d mark iv, but on ettl mode it will fire perfectly fine. I also tried putting it on my 5d mark ii and there it works fine in manual, anybody know the issue?

I suggest that you contact Godox about your issue.
