Yes that is right, Glasgow Uni, but not the Barony Hall, it is in the Gilbert Scott Building I think. Good luck with the file transfers ! Let us know how you fared, please.

I've been no help but to make good I have another one from Scotland for you. I wonder if you know where this is.

Louise, "little old lady" you say ? With MAC filtering on her network ? You're dangerous. I use it on my Ubiquity APs and Mikrotik Routers, but it did not occur to me to consider that. Jerry may be right, a firewall setting on your PC could be blocking the connection of the PC_Autosave. Could be in a security/antivirus sw that you have or in the Windows OS. Maybe a message popped up to ask for permission that you missed. I suspect you know this without me telling you and you will know how to add a rule. I agree with Jerry on the WPS thing, I never use it.

Jerry, do I remember correctly that you have an X-T30 ? Recreation is an impossibility indeed from now on, you have a job on hand. Click here for starters: 🔊🔊🔊

When you have some, let us start an official Scotland thread ! With my X-T2 and X-T10, transferring to IOS devices worked well, but I have no experience with PC Autosave. If I had the same camera as you, I would try it out but with different cameras there is no point I think. Do you get an error message, what does it say ?

...post war - must have been an interesting story. Reset to factory settings cannot do any harm, go for it. Looking forward to you fixing this and posting some images from beautiful Scotland (you can´t rely on me doing your job here !)

Any ideas Jerry ?

The whole world is one small village. When did he leave CZ ? Anyway, I am reading this: 4. Appendices | Application Software PC AutoSave | FUJIFILM Corporation (fujifilm-dsc.com) and this: 4. Appendices | Application Software PC AutoSave | FUJIFILM Corporation (fujifilm-dsc.com) Have a look if it helps. To discharge the internal backup battery, you would have to leave the accu out of the camera for a long time, there has to be a better way.

To cheer you up:

Dear Louise, Welcome to the forum ! I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I don´t have that camera, I haven´t used the recent versions of the app and I haven´t used the PC Autosave programme, so I am not in a good position really to give you any advice. But before somebody else can be more specific and before you get feeling lonely and abandoned here, I would like to at least point you to the following links in case you missed them, maybe they will help. Maybe you would be better off using Bluetooth for the app as opposed to WiFi. See here (choose IOS or Android via the two buttons at the top of the page and pls note that point Nr. 4 is about the camera menu, the others are about the app). Connecting to the Camera (Bluetooth) (fujifilm-dsc.com) Via WiFi: (the same re. Nr. 4) Connecting to the Camera (Models That Do Not Support Bluetooth) (fujifilm-dsc.com) X-T30 Manual Web Version - Wireless Connections Wireless Connections (Bluetooth^®, Wireless LAN/Wi-Fi) (fujifilm-dsc.com) PC Autosave explanation: 3. Saving Photos and Movies to the Computer | Application Software PC AutoSave | FUJIFILM Corporation (fujifilm-dsc.com) Generally advisable: update firmware on the camera and use the newest version of the app, which you probably do, just saying. In case you decide that you need to upgrade the camera, do it exactly according to the instructions. If you can´t find them, let me know. For transferring pictures from the camera to the computer, I would say the best thing to do is to use a card reader, that is the fastest and most reliable way of doing it. Maybe you missed something and the above instructions will help. If not, let us know and surely we will be able to help you further. Nice greetings to Scotland, stay safe ! George

mdm is right. It is written in the release notes, so “we do not give out this kind of information” must be some misunderstanding. You can download and try out for yourself before you jump to a conclusion. C1 is very good with Fuji files.

Welcome, greetings from Slovakia. Beautiful pics on your flickr ! Slovenia is a beautiful country. I climbed Vrsic by bike a few years ago, would love to do Log pod Mandartom sometimes. Bled is beautiful, the valley of Radovna... Post some more !

‘nuff talking. Download C1 and try it ! 🙂

C1 is the best choice, most people would agree I think. This has been discussed a thousand times already. They have good tutorials. Try it, it is worth it. Later on you can switch to C1 Pro and never look back.

Dear Mihai, thanks for the write-up. I have no issues with cards but it can be useful for the ones who do.

Thanks for the kind comment, Herco. You made a very good point re. stopping down the lens.

On Flickr there is a group called “Fuji XF 50mm F2.0”, have a look what the pics look like.

(I prefer primes but...) 10-24 obviously.

Howdy Jerry, we were both writing at the same time.

You are welcome. You say the second picture was taken at 1/20sec. The EXIF data on Flickr confirm that (1/18). The second picture looks so bright (and washed-out, without contrast, overexposed) because 1/20 combined with ISO1250 made it look that way. The floor is OOF but not blurry. The cat is blurry. Naughty cat. It moved ! The first picture is fine and I think there is probably nothing wrong whatsoever with your lens.. Thing is, 1/20 is definitely too slow to freeze even a slow movement of your cat. If you want to freeze movement, you should aim at shutter priority, 1/250 and more. 1/125 is OK e.g. for people posing and holding more or less still. You can set a fixed aperture (most Fuji lenses perform best around f4-f5.6 (in terms of sharpness), that should give you enough of a DOF to get most if not all of the cat in focus :). And use Auto-ISO. On your zoom lens your max. aperture depends on the focal length at which it is zoomed. A faster lens (means a lens with bigger aperture, like an f2 prime) and/or more light will help you to faster shutter speeds without having to crank up the ISO. Regarding you being able to hold the camera steady enough, generally, for still subjects you should be OK with a shutter speed number double the focal length, e.g.1/125 for a 50mm lens, 1/200 for a 90mm lens, you get the picture. OIS helps (quite substantially) but only with stationary subjects. It can stabilize the camera, not the cat. For SS of 1/20 I would say you need a good technique even with OIS. DOF: Depth of Field, OOF: Out of Focus. Read the manual again, you can find useful things there to help you. Good luck, have fun, let us know how you fared and definitely post some pics !!! Cheers.

Allen, Which car is "better" ? A Porsche, a Land Cruiser or the 5 ? I mean, it is not a question of better or worse, it is a question of better for a certain purpose. The 50 f1.0 is rather extreme, in DOF, price, size, weight, speed (low light capability). For the vast majority of normal photos I would argue the f2 is just as good and also small, light, inobtrusive and great value for the price. It focuses very fast, is sharp and WR. DOF at f2 (e.g. for portraits) is shallow enough for me. Maybe you have more extreme needs than I do so you have to decide based on that. I would refuse to make a general statement as to which of the 50 f1.0 / f1.2 / f2 is "better". For me the f2 is better. Go to a shop and try them out if you can. Good luck ! Let us know how you fared. Cheers
