If your Godox Camera Flash isn't firing, there are a couple of things to check: First, make sure the camera flash is securely attached to the camera's mounting foot. If it is, the electrical contacts of the flash and camera might be dirty, so try cleaning them.
Why does my Godox V860II power off by itself?
Your Godox Camera Flash might be turning off automatically to save power. If the flash is set as a master, it will power off after 90 seconds of idle operation. To prevent this, press the shutter button halfway or press any flash button to wake it up. If the flash is set as a slave, it will enter sleep mode after 60 minutes (or 30 minutes) of idle operation. Press any flash button to wake it up.
Why is my Godox V860II exposure underexposed or overexposed?
If your Godox Camera Flash exposure is underexposed or overexposed, it might be due to using high-speed sync, which reduces the effective flash range. Ensure your subject is within the displayed effective flash range. Also, if you're using Manual Flash mode, switch to i-TTL or adjust the flash output accordingly.
How to fix dark corners or partial illumination with Godox V860II?
If your photos have dark corners or only parts of the subject are illuminated when using the Godox Camera Flash, the focal length of your lens might exceed the flash coverage. Check the flash coverage setting. This flash unit has coverage between 20 and 200mm, suitable for medium-format cameras. Try pulling the wide panel out to extend the flash coverage.
