What's a BOB?I found this to be the case with all versions of the firmware that has had FA as well when using the BOB and the few times I have tried Profoto (in other words, this doesn’t seem to be a new “feature”).

What's a BOB?
Ok, I got the Hahnel cable release, I haven't tried yet. Just updated last night.To elaborate, from Ken's excellent post.
The Bob is the Phase One release that came out about 2 years ago, when Phase One switched the port on the XF to the 12 pin. You also have the less expensive Hahnel release.
Bob currently will not reliably fire FA on my IQ4, I am going to try the Hahnel later today.
Bob will work intermittently but over 50% of the time it does not kick off the correct FA sequence, instead it fires a 1 second exposure.

That's the same as my experience with the XF..I did a rough check with the hahnel cable release with both regular and FA exposures on a tech cam. The good news is that the Hahnel cable release does trigger with normal shooting. However it does not shoot an actual FA frame in FA mode but a regular non FA frame instead. Otherwise FA does work on a tech cam with the latest firmware.
Dave, ES is limited to 1/125 if you have Antiflickering set to 60Hz. If you turn it off it should go up to 1/4000.Has anyone on a technical camera tried a shutter speed faster than 1/125? Yesterday, I could not set mine faster with 6.01.1
