I do shoot weddings with these bodies so having 2 is vital. That being said, despite the fact that these are for pro use and really money should be no object in relation to repairs, I am skeptical that the mother board is 'gone' when the camera is taking pictures totally fine. It's worth noting I use many really cheap third party batteries along side the OEM batteries. I wonder if this would have something to do with it? At the time of 'lockup' or 'write freeze', I was simply taking shots of a slow dance at a reception and was not running and gunning the camera in any capacity.

So I've shot XT2s since the day they came out. Zero issues. At a recent wedding last Saturday during the mother / son dance at a wedding I take a few shots with one body and it just shows its writing (blinking light) but .... Keeps blinking. Blinking. Blinking. I use another body with another lens and keep on. I look down at the trouble camera and see it stopped. Wondering what happened, I press play to review the images to see if the card is still good and the same kind of thing happens where it's just loads and loads and eventually the image came up on the screen. I've been using the same cards for a year now and not had any issues. Any ideas? After the wedding I tried to recreate the problem but for whatever reason it's just not recreating - it's working totally fine. It worries me because it was freezing up exactly what I needed to camera to work. I sent this issue description to Fuji Canada tech support and the reply struck me as ... odd. Without hesitation they said "thank you for contacting FUJIFILM Canada. It looks like one X-T2 has a faulty motherboard. Since this camera model needs to be sent for repair....if you have more than one X-T2 but only one has freezing/lock up issues, even if intermittent, the motherboard is the culprit." Since its out of warranty? (purchased in 2016) I have to shell out for a repair job, on an issue, which I don't even know if its actually a legit issue.

I am experiencing this exact same problem. However I am using Yongnuo 600EX-RT flashes. I have one on my Fuji XT1 and one off camera. The two flashes are setup in manual mode, but they are using wireless radio to talk to each other. The flash on my XT1 is the master flash and the flash off camera is the slave. If I press the test button on the master flash, both flashes fire as expected. If I take a picture on the XT1 by pressing the shutter, the master flash on camera does fire but the second flash off camera does not I feel like this SHOULD work. Am I missing something? The camera is set to mechanical shutter, but it still does not work. If i move these flashes over to my 5DMKIII then it works as I expect it to; taking a picture on the 5D3 causes the flash on camera to fire as a master, and the second flash fires as a slave. Any tips? Maybe due to hardware limitations this is just not supposed to work on the fuji?
