I recently bought some Wescott FJ400 battery powered strobes. I had trouble syncing them with my Z6. I called Wescott and was advised to turn off the electronic shutter in the camera and only use the manual shutter. I did this and the problem was solved. Now another problem has arisen. When I am shooting portraits in the manual mode all of my adjustments for proper exposure are replicated in the viewfinder. To give an example, the correct exposure for ambient light in the studio may be one fourth sec. at F4 everything looks and photographs great through the view finder. However, the correct exposure using the strobes is 1/100 sec at F/8. The resulting image is correct when the file is viewed. In the viewfinder, however, the image is so dark you cannot see the subject. I have obviously messed up a setting somewhere that allows me to view the image normally rather than at the correct setting for the strobe flash. Can anyone advise me as to how to correct this? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you need to turn off exposure simulation while using your flash.

Hello Hugh,
Is this a camera menu item? I haven't seen it but I will hunt for it now. Thank you for the reply.
