Fuji X-T3 firmware resetting camera settings?
fordfanjpn replied to vstrick's topic in Fuji X-T3 / Fuji X-T30
Just updated my X-T3 to 2.0 and it reset all of my settings. -
X-H1 Raw files - need new software
fordfanjpn replied to deva's topic in Fuji X-H1 / Fuji X-H2s / Fuji X-H2
I'm using Luminar 2018 now, along with Lightroom Classic, but when they come out with Luminar 3 next month with the DAM, I'm pretty sure I'll be making the switch entirely to Luminar. No more Adobe subscription for me. -
What I've had happen is that in manual mode with Auto ISO, the camera will occasionally grossly overexpose. Usually it will just be 1 or 2 shots, but yesterday I had a whole series of shots that were way too overexposed. Shooting in very bright sunlight, 1/1000 sec @ f8, the camera set the ISO for one shot to 10,000! It should have been 200. After a dozen or so shots like that, it suddenly straightened itself out and started exposing normally. FYI, I shoot a lot from the hip so I can't check exposure as I'm going. That's why I tend to rely on Auto ISO, although it clearly isn't always dependable. It may be time to go full-on manual and set everything, including the ISO, myself. I do wish that "automatic" was more "automagic!"

I have both and I'll keep both. The IQ of the 1.4 is special, especially on the X-Pro1, but it is a bit slow and quite noisy when focusing. The 2 is faster, the IQ is quite good, though maybe not magical, and it's the lens I use on the street when I need the faster response. Decide your main use and then pick the lens that works for you. Or better yet, buy them both!

Would you make a “ relic” version of your camera and why?
fordfanjpn replied to milandro's topic in General Discussion
I have relic guitars and I like the look and feel of them. They feel like an old broken-in guitar, warm and comfortable to play. I wouldn't mind a relic camera, but I wouldn't dare to try to do it myself because I'd probably break it or something. I think I'll just wait for mine to "relic" naturally. -
I have both the X-Pro1 and X-Pro2, and while I certainly intend to do some comparisons, I haven't had time to do so yet. Also, I unfortunately don't have access to a beautiful model like you do, so I'm not sure if or when I'll ever have a chance to do that Pro Neg comparison of skin tones. But I'll definitely keep that in mind should the opportunity ever present itself.

XPro2 - Formatting memory cards
fordfanjpn replied to RadBadTad's topic in Fuji X-Pro 1 / Fuji X-Pro 2 / Fuji X-Pro 3
You have to hold the trash button down a few seconds before pressing the command dial. -
Even though I have the X100T and the X-Pro2, I still have, and intend to keep, the X100 and X-Pro1. They're too much like old friends now to just get rid of them.

35mm 1.4 Issues on X-Pro 2
fordfanjpn replied to thedwp's topic in Fuji X-Pro 1 / Fuji X-Pro 2 / Fuji X-Pro 3
Mine is working fine. And it seems to focus faster on the X-Pro2. -
Problem with my X Pro2.
fordfanjpn replied to vicmay's topic in Fuji X-Pro 1 / Fuji X-Pro 2 / Fuji X-Pro 3
It happened to me once in the beginning. I put in a fresh battery, went through the menus and made all my settings, and turned off the camera. When I turned it back on all the settings had reset. Hasn't happened again since. -
I sold my X-T1 when I ordered the X-Pro2. I'm keeping the X100T (and X100) and the X-Pro1. For now.

Best SDXC UHS II Card for X-Pro 2
fordfanjpn replied to RCL's topic in Fuji X-Pro 1 / Fuji X-Pro 2 / Fuji X-Pro 3
The only card I ever had go bad on me, i.e. become completely unusable, was a Lexar. However, judging from the popularity of the Lexar cards, it's possible that mine was just a bit of bad luck on my part. Still, I feel better knowing that I have SanDisk cards in my cameras. -
Best SDXC UHS II Card for X-Pro 2
fordfanjpn replied to RCL's topic in Fuji X-Pro 1 / Fuji X-Pro 2 / Fuji X-Pro 3
I have a SanDisk SDHC II waiting for the X-Pro2 to arrive. According to the SanDisk website the write speed is "up to" 250MB/s. How that will translate in terms of performance remains to be seen, but I assume (hope) it will be a noticeable improvement. -
