I am new to Fuji-X and non $100 point-and-click digital photography in general. I really haven't done much photography since I stopped using my old Canon AE-1 about 20 years ago.

 

I started with the X-A3 which doesn't get as much attention on these and other forums, but it is serving my needs. I felt it was a good choice for me to start with because I wasn't sure how much photography I'd do and the price point was good. So far I really like it and at some point I'll likely upgrade my body and keep my X-A3 body as a spare if I continue to progress with my photography. 

 

I mostly have been taking photo of landscapes but really I've been dabbling in a little of everything trying to figure out what I like and to learn more about the camera.

I am a newbie to these forums myself so I cannot compare the A3 to other X-series cameras I can say I have certainly enjoyed my X-E1 for some years now. I am a Nikon user and have been for nearly 50 years. I have noticed I carry my E1 in my vehicle nearly at all times instead of a bag full of Nilkons. I recently purchased the X-Pro2 and hope to use it more because the picture quality is now on par with what I can get from my larger (and much more expensive) Nikons. We will see what the future will bring.....

 

Welcome and Happy New Year.

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
