Speedlght not functioning on Nikon D850 but other accessories do, what's the problem?

For some reason my speed lights have stopped functioning on my Nikon D850; I use two SB900's an SB700 and an SB600. All have worked on this camera body in the past, and now I can't get any of them to function. Sounds like a hot shoe problem, but other accessories (studio lighting controlers/triggers) do function properly. So there seems to be some issue that is specifically flash related.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride.
We look forward to seeing more posts and samples of your work.

Have you checked your flash settings in the menu system? Perhaps a system reset may fix your issue.

Welcome! If you haven't you might try cleaning the pins on the hot shoe. Have your tried both manual and TTL modes?

Welcome to the forum! The hot shoe sounds OK since it works with the trigger. Could the flash be in slave mode?

[h=1]D850 cannot trigger flash in silent live view mode... Nikon made a lot of changes to the D850 and the way it interacts with Flash... Google is your friend...[/h]
