Profoto A10 N and X2D-100C

[Sunil Mehta]

I purchased the Profoto A10 (Nikon) flash unit but cannot seem to get it to fire when mounted on the hotshoe of the X2D. Any thoughts from users here on how to get this to work with the X2D? I was under the assumption that the A10 was compatible with the X2D. Would appreciate any feedback.

The A10, like any other flash, does not fire when the electronic shutter is activated.  Flashing is only possible with the mechanical central shutter.  My A10 works perfectly on the hot shoe or wirelessly with the Air Remote. 

The current firmware "B4" should also be available on the A10.

Thank you very much Ralf. Works perfectly. I guess it would help if I'd read the manual but then, it's more fun to just play with the camera. I do appreciate the quick response.
