So my workflow goes through LR for cataloging purposes, usually just connect camera to my USB-C and ctrl+c/v them into desired folders. Does anybody use a better/more automated/quicker process to bring in these behemoth files?

HI all, I have recently purchased one of these lenses ( Fujinon XF 30 mm2.8 Macro Lens) and have been experimenting with various settings on my X-T4. As the aperture opening is decreased toward minimum, the photos display a distinct mottling which get increasingly worse per stop. Any ideas? Cheers, Davy.

nailed it. didn't even realize i hit +1

have you had any luck resolving this? having an issue with xt30 - black photos with MS.

Experiencing this issue with a 6 week old xt30. MS does not work suddenly - video and ES works. Was taking one picture successfully and a milisecond later started taking black photos. Sounds like it’s functional but no luck unless using ES.

after updating firmware 2.04, there was a strong flicker in a room with artificial light sources, regardless of exposure, shooting mode, during shooting and on the footage. There is no flickering in natural daylight. I understand there is no firmware rollback, what should I do?

I’m only getting right channel audio when connecting my DJI microphone. Seemed to happen after latest software update. Works on my XT4 with the same mic setup and settings. Any ideas? I’ve reset to factory and nothing. Internal mic records to both but obviously it’s shit audio. So frustrating ready to sell this thing.

I have a Finpix S1850 which I wish to give my grandson, New Batteries, 32Gb Car inserted. When I switch it on the camera the light flashes green momentarily then flashes Amber. The lens pop out a little but no function at all, even screen is blank. Can anyone advise please.?

I also have this problem and have not been able to use the monitor for 1 year. Can still record and display normal footage, but not on F-log. Pls help

I can recommend this one from Mathorn brand: https://mathorn.com/en/tethering-cables/tethering-5m-2/mtc-531/ It works nice with my GFX50s - see the video

Probably this: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/gfx100s/menu_shooting/image_quality_setting/#clarity

so if i'm shooting uncompressed 16-bit RAW files it takes a significant amount of time to write to card. Got the high end UHS II cards, and this does not happen with burst shooting, only single frame shots. what setting am i missing that causes this to happen?

The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful.

I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.

Hi Chas, I am just fallen into the rabbit hole of investigating how to upgrade my X-T4's video sound... Loving the idea of time code sync, I am now quite concerned that the X-T4 doesn't support it, although I have already seen different statements on the net, like here: https://youtu.be/xja27RmvbhE?si=hIch3Tu_MH_pWSBH&t=571 I have to admit, this guy's "explanation" gets quite confusing in his further discourse ...:) BUT, as you wrote that you use Tentacle Sync for Windows!, did you also try with their windows-only software "Time Code Tool" which you find here?: https://tentaclesync.com/timecode-tool Would love to here if you found a workaround with the XT4 Best, Simon

It occurred sometime when I focus. It is not silent

This is the video for the focusing sound. Anyone can help?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thanks a lot IMG_3226.mov

Wow Jerry, Simply Wow and thanks: I switched off camera. Connected Cam to Mac with USB-C Switched on cam Looked at system report which said Camera PTP Then opened up Image Capture (I never even knew IC was still on the latest macOS) and the files on the GFX showed up. Then opened up LR and FINALLY GFX images showed. Interestingly like all the cameras - You don't get to navigate to the /DCIM folder - but that's no big deal. *** But for the exercise I tried this on my Intel MacBook Pro running Monterey - but no luck there with the above steps (No big deal). I hav Eno idea how this even started to work - Is it the process of Looking at Sys Report or Just the fact that I opened it on Image Capture OR that I Connected first THEN Switched on the camera. What actually made it work? The Irony is I don't think Fuji Support in Aust have any idea about this as they have been stumped over this for the last few months. Thanks Again - truly appreciated!! John

FYI Update - I just learned that the Zoom F6 & F3 recorder/mixers also synch to the UltraSynch Blue over bluetooth. I am planning to record 32bit float on the F6 and it will have frame accurate matching time-code with my two-XH2S' and one XH2.

Hopefully these will help some. For quite a while now Apple has put stuff into their operating system so that you cannot yourself open the connected camera’s card and see the images, you have to use their or third party software to do that.

Thanks for the instructions: I was doing up to 3 successfully but can't wait to get home and try 4 and 5 and report back. Cheers, John

Okay, just for completeness sake: 1. The camera’s menu connection setting is USB CARD READER. 2. The computer is turned on, booted and nicely operational. 3.. With the camera turned off, connect the camera to the computer using a known-to-be-good USB C data plus power cable (a data only cable should work as well, a power only cable will not work). 3. The camera’s charging light may turn on. Turn the camera on. The back screen probably will show the USB symbol as well as the USB letters. 4. Start up the Image Capture app and see if the camera’s name appears in the devices list. 5. In the Apple menu, select ‘About This Mac’, click on the ‘More Info…’ button, and on the right hand side of the window that opens, at its bottom is a button called ‘System Report…’, click on it. A new window should open, the left hand side has collapsible dropdown listings, the first is called “Hardware’, within it is the USB listing, select that. The right side pane should give you listings of all the USB devices connected at that moment, one of them should say something like USB PTP Camera. Does either 4. or 5. work?

Thanks, Yes I knew about the USB issue in newer Macs and macOS but that is why I tested it with High Sierra as well. Also the fact that every other camera easily connects via USB direct with the camera - definitely points out the fact that it is a FUJI specific problem. Furthermore - I remember being able to direct connect early last year. I rarely take the Cards OUT of the camera these days. The weird thing is I can connect my iPhone 15 via USB-C to 100s and pull files directly - puzzling. Problem is FUJI rarely listens to anyone.
