YS-D3 Duo and Olympus EM-10 Mark IV

[cashmorephoto]

I'm trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong. In the menu of my Olympus EM-10 Mark IV it has the maximum sync speed for flash set as 1/250 but my YS-D3 Duos won't fire at anything faster than 1/160.

First thing to check is if the trigger or mini flash is firing at 1/250.  Also confirm you are in manual flash on the camera.  When you say they won't fire - do you mean they won't fire at all or that they no longer sync?

The flash doesn't fire at all.

 

I think I may have found out why. I was reading the manual for the camera again and I found a note saying that when you have RC turned in (Olympus' special TTL mode) it can't go beyond 1/160. I am going to try turning it off and seeing if I can get it to work that way.

It seems like I have to go into the menu and disable RC mode to use the strobe in manual mode. It still will only let me go to 1/200 (camera won't go even go beyond that). Oh well. The manual for the strobe and the camera don't exactly paint a full picture.
