I posted this last week in the thread regarding the "turn off turn on message". Since then contacted Fuji USA and was told to send the camera to them. The person said they are aware of the problem but they don't have a fix. When I asked what the remedy was the response they gave was they will send me a camera that does not have the issue. While I found that interesting I chose not to engage in a discussion. Taking the comments presented in this thread as well as the "turn off" thread, it appears there is a design issue. I've used several different brands during the past two years including a Canon 5D3, Sony A7ii, Sony A7Rii, and Nikon D750. These were with speedlights either on camera or with radio trigger. Had no heat issues and those cameras never shut down. At this point the X Pro 2 is neither pro nor non-pro but something less that will only perform in low demand situations that involve few actuations over a long period of time. Under these conditions it does produce great images. Love the look just cannot accept the performance.
Here is the other post:
experienced this error today with version 1.0. Tonight I did the update.
Background: had a studio shoot today with two models that totaled approximately 45 minutes. Lens was 35mm f2. Fast cards. Saved RAW and jpeg to same card (changed that tonight to save to separate cards). The total image count was 1080, so that should have been 540 shutter activations. It was set for single shots. Pre focus off. Face detection on
The error message first appeared after about 30 minutes, then happened twice more before the end of the session. Used a Paul C. Buff trigger for an Alienbee (worked great). Noticed that when the first error message appeared the camera was definitely warm on the bottom plate. Camera remained warm for the remainder of the time.
The was no problem restarting the camera, but the shooting flow was certainly interrupted.
Camera s/n 61A05706. It was delivered the day of release in the USA.
This shoot was an unexpected opportunity. I'm in the process of moving and my Nikon gear is in storage. Had it been a pre-planned session, I would have used the D750. The Fuji was intended for the trip and in that setting it performed as expected.
As others have stated, and assuming Fuji monitors this forum, there is an issue when the X Pro 2 is used in a situation involving stretches of constant shooting. Whatever the reason, it is up to them to recognize and correct it.
