Working a bridesmaids brunch yesterday, suddenly my new (9/2016) i60a started making this horrible "cracking" sound, the flash would charge (green light) and then make a popping/crack sound and the ready light would go to red and start up again. Sounded like it was shorting out- the noise was definitely electrical discharge or something, I shut it off and put it in my bag after removing the batteries. Hopefully it hasn't done anything to the flash circuitry of the XT-2! The camera seems ok, performed fine without the flash (thanks for the 56/1.2 in a dim room).

 

When I got home I put batteries in it again,  and pushed the 'on' button. Flash cycled up and when the green ready light came on for a second or two, it made the same (frightening) crack-popping noise and the ready light went back to red, and I was done! Shut it off, and have sent it back to Minox USA. 

I had the firmware upgraded to work with my XT-2 last month.

 

Anyone else run into this?

 

The bugger is this- I have an i40 that I use on my XT-1. But I can't use it on the XT-2 because of the firmware. So if I need to use flash, for now I'll need to use my XT-1. sigh.

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      X Raw Studio works with image files on your computer - not the image files on the camera card

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?
