    Camera Image Lag in EVF

    in Fuji X-T3 / Fuji X-T30

    Posted

    If "during shooting" the card may have a problem....bad cards are frequently the culprit in rare weird freezes and lockups when the camera has issues writing to the card.

    So...swap cards...format cards...try a new card...etc.

    Good luck...please post solution if you figure it out (even if it's user error) :-)

    Had that on numerous occasions with my XT-2....but it went away....I couldn't replicate it as it always happened in the middle of a shoot.

    I don't know why it stopped....as I did several firmware upgrades over time and I had various maintenance done on cameras/lenses (drops)

    I'd suggest  cleaning the lens contacts on all your lenses....guessing it's a communication error?

    Also, make sure "Natural Live View" is "Off" and "Preview EXP/WB IN MANUAL MODE" is activated....again thinking along the lines of a blib in communication?

    Lastly I have had several experiences where my exposure comp dial was accidently stuck between C and -3...halfway between....and it caused problems and weird happenings.

    Good luck...please post if you solved it (even if it's user error).

    Thx :)  so it's the sound of lens, is it the same sound on every lens or?

    yes...the lenses I checked yes. 56, 23, 16-55. The 18mm is quite loud.

    Pete1959,

    I also hear a whirring noise from my 18-135 and 18-55 Fujinon lenses with my ear up close in a quiet room. The sound disappears when the camera sleeps or is powered off. It sounds like a tiny motor.

    • I have Pre-AF off
    • I have OIS off.
    • I am in "S" on the M-C-S focus switch

    I've had this camera for 2 years and started noticing a more rapid battery drain. I wondered if something is not set right or working right.    You mentioned some other ideas earlier in this forum.

     

    Thanks

    Hi Stan:

    RE: Batteries:

    "Face Detect">On , if left "ON", will also continuously hunt for faces even when not half pressing and will drain battery faster. Only have it on when you need it.

    Blue Tooth>Turn it off. It is by default set to "On"

    Boost> Not needed for landscape and slow non action shooting. Turn it off if not needed.

    Occasionally fully discharge the batteries to maintain lithium battery health.

    PS: Two years...? The camera came out in late Sept. 2019.....are you speaking of the XT2 ? The XT3 gets noticeably better battery life...

    That lens, by the way, always has a very soft electronic sound, even when "IS"  turned off.

    I can only hear it in a quiet room when I put it to my ears.

    I believe that's something about "floating glass elements" that are engaged when powered on. You can hear the elements clunk about inside when the lens is powered off ( that's also normal).

    But, you indicated it's a much louder sound and you just noticed, it so I'm guessing it's "PRE-AF ON"...

    If it's simply the soft noise of the lens then that is normal.

    problems with camera (?)

    Lockups are often a problem writing to card.....

    Format your card and see if issue goes away....or switch cards.

    Always format in camera (not on computer) and always format for full erase of images.....this will keep your cards healthy and happy.

    Try to see if issue is unique to a particular card.

    I would rule out a simple card issue before I started chasing other potential issues, which it might be, but lots of times these lockups are due to card write failure.

    Please post updates or solutions as others follow the threads...:)

    Yes that's normal.

    Mine makes a mild "whirr/clank" when hitting replay.

    You are hearing the aperture diaphragm closing down when it switches to playback.

    Watch through the front of your lens as you press the playback button.

    You can see the aperture close...

    Unable to get front command dial to change aperture

    in Fuji X-T3 / Fuji X-T30

    resolved issue content no oonger relevant

    FYI: The front command dial has a "button" function in which PRESSING DOWN on the front command dial changes it's function from one "option" to the other (as selected from the menu)...it has caused me confusion in the past, so I'm sure as well for others. :rolleyes:

    I use the front command dial for exposure compensation only (top dial set to C).

    My front dial does "exposure compensation" ONLY (via auto ISO), and nothing else, and where "pressing in on the dial" either turns on the function (Exp Comp) or nothing at all (prevents accidental changes).

    Peak Design strap attachment

    My update: I purchased a Peak Designs strap for my newest Fuji last month and found that this strap came with thicker anchor attachment cords and will not slip thru the eyelets using the wire/dental floss trick. These cords are thicker than the first two I received with earlier purchases.
