A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

First Time Using External Flash I don’t understand (alien.top)

I am running R7 with EF 10-18mm, Godox V850II which has all been working fine. Purchased an x pro transmitter today and I can get the x pro to trigger the flash by the transmitter lightning button but when I attempt to press the shutter to snap a photo the flash does not trigger.

The flash is connected to the same group and channel and it is set to slave. The camera is set to EFCS.

Am I missing something simple?

There is a red light on the X Pro that flashes briefly when the shutter is triggered. See if its flashing. That should at least tell you if the problem is between the camera and trigger connection

Do you have the correct XPro for your model camera?
