I suggest always - ALWAYS - using the camera in Boost mode (whether you've got the grip fitted or not). The X-T2/X-Pro2 are both slow and jittery in Normal mode - and the X-H1 is even worse. I think "Normal mode" is a misnomer: it should be called something like "Battery-saving mode" or "Economy mode" instead. (I'm not saying this is the answer to the problems you've described, but using Normal mode won't have helped.) Hope you get it sorted soon - good luck!
the more I see the burst of activity when a new product is announced on the forum the more I understand that a lot of people like buying new cameras.
Then when I see what they do with the cameras (or lens) I wonder what was it that they couldn’t do before that they could do now, since many of those pictures don’t show any of the improved functions that they so dearly paid for.
As it has happened before this call to reflect upon the urge to want the newest product and buying it as opposed to needing the new functions and using them is met with a salvo of “ I can afford the best therefore I do!”.
This is not only true of cameras, the clothing industry knows this all too well.
Some of us have clothes in their cabinets that have never been worn and some of it will be thrown out without even ever wear it.
Consumerism is, of course, the motor of the consumer society but the thing that represent it the most is” owning” the things,. not so much using them.
In other words if we were asked to give away the money for something that we never ever get we wouldn’t do that and yet that is precisely what we do when we buy something we don’t really need (and use).
Another thing is also the vicious cycle triggered by buying new stuff (that many don’t need).
You buy yourself a new camera but then discover that the software that you have on your old computer doesn’t work with the new camera, then you buy a new computer and then you discover that all the software that you used for other things (unrelated to photography) no longer works with your new computer.
Let alone the fact that you get given a system which is not yet tested and , as Apple has painfully displayed lately, has a door open for the hackers , while the previous system is still shut well against invasion.
By the way now there are 8K televisions.
Are you going to demand 8K from Fuji when they just introduced a 4K that is not working very well?
Before you do that remember that the software and computer for the 8K probably will require an upgrade too. The funny thing is that some will only ever use this to shoot pictures of their grandkids running around the garden.
Something is rotten out there, and not only in the state of Denmark .
With the app and a wireless connection, you can transfer the current location to the camera. That's all. The next pictures you take, will have these coordinates. Finally, the coordinates will be used for the next 3 hours or until you transfer new coordinates.
There is no "continuous" transfer of coordinates and of course, your coordinates won't be very exact if you are moving (e.g. through a park or city). But it is in my opinion a pretty good "workaround" as long as no gps receiver is integrated into the camera.
