High speed sync problem on EOS R8 with NiceFoto TTL-680C

[Rezaka98]

Why doesn't the shutter speed in Canon R8 camera go higher than 200? Even though I set it to high speed in the camera settings and also synced it with the trigger and flash, I tried with the 6d ii camera and it worked, but it doesn't go up on the r8, my flash nicefoto 680c, trigger tx_c01

Thank you bro ❤️

Does HSS work with any shutter mode. This is a common incompatibility with 3rd Party speedlites. 3rd Party Speedlites don't work correctly on the EOS R series and HSS. Can you test out a Canon Speedlite to ensure HSS works correctly.

[Rezaka98]

Yes, I tested the same trigger and the same flash on the canon 6d ii camera and I was able to work on hss with a shutter speed above 200, but on my camera with the same settings, the shutter speed does not go above 200.

Your new camera is INCOMPATIBLE with the R8. The flash may work with an older camera but not a new one. Canon DOES NOT tell 3rd Parties how their flash system works. It's up to them to figure it out.

What about the flash shoe adapter? 

[deebatman316]

Nope. A lot of 3rd Party flashes have this problem with the EOS R series. Regardless of the hot shoe type. This goes back to the original EOS R & RP.

[deebatman316]

All that does is allow weather sealed speedlites to be mounted. It doesn't change the legacy pins. Except for the R50 which lacks those pins. It takes the digital connection and converts it to the older 5 pin hot shoe.

[Rezaka98]

So, it means that there is nothing I can do except change the flash? Does it make a difference if I change the trigger?

[deebatman316]

The item pictured above I believe is a transmitter. If that's not allowing HSS it would need to be replaced with a compatible unit.

What trigger do you think I should take?
