Oh, BebuLamar I finally remembered to physically short out the fire terminal (center one) to the frame and it fired normally, just one flash.


Hmm! So we don't really know if it's the camera or the flash. It could still be either one. You can't send your Nikon in for repair because it doesn't work with the Godox flash.

I've found nothing on the camera that could do it, except maybe the connection in the shoe.

I gave my Godox flash gear away and bought used Nikon gear for my 850.

I press the button and it DID NOT flash. Took the flash off and the button worked. Put the flash back on and everything was back to normal. Now I cannot remember if in all this, at least 2 week process if I had removed the flash before but all is well and it works as it should. Thank you all for following and suggesting. Maybe age is beginning it's effects I'm 78 and maybe suddenly stupid.


I’m glad it worked out!

Not trying to be a smart ass but, your Camera cost close to3K, why mess with a $99 flash?
If you had bought another Nikon flash Nikon would be more apt to help you.

I think a new Godox will work.

Do you have flash bracketing enabled?

The instruction is poorly written, some adjustments aren’t listed and I don’t remember 100%, sorry. Try in C.Fn: setting custom functions
If you can’t figure out than send me a private message, on the weekend I have time

Yep, make sure AF assist beam is off.
