Doesn't look good - maybe you could contact the FujiFilm support group in France and ask them - they might also be able to estimate a repair cost.

Thats weird - is this both raw and jpeg? The colours look a bit off as well.
Just in case - have you tried a complete settings refresh?

Looks like ADV mode - Toy Camera is on - make sure drive mode dial is set to "S"

in AF-C FujiFilm cameras stop down when you half press the shutter - in AF-S they don't

Like Jerryy says you can scale you image down so that it can be uploaded - that way we aren't guessing.
The only symbol that looks like a camera is the Continuous Mode symbol - but it normally has "L" or "H" next to it rather than a "1"

Is this on the X-T30 II?
Sounds like you have HDR selected in the shooting menu.
The other alternative when you see the "storing" message is that the Clarity setting is non-zero but that doesn't cause multiple clicks.

According to the Viltrox web site it appears to be Micro USB
Viltrox 56/1.4

How about using a phone or a tablet? This is probably the fastest and easiest way to do it.

Its a bit difficult to answer without seeing the original image file.
Where did you focus? Is that point sharp? Or is the entire image (including the point of focus) soft?
 

Yes, I managed to replicate the issue - took a photo, numbered DSCF1232. Copied to the SSD drive, where is appears as DSCF1233. Take a second photo on the camera - this is DSCF1234.

That sounds correct - I think all recent non PASM cameras work this way allowing you to fine tune a selected shutter speed - its the same with my X100VI

Hmm - I don't seem to be able to replicate it with my camera

p.s. That raw file format is looking pretty good about now, eh? 😀😀

The number will drop if you delete the images with the highest numbers.
Try deleting an image from the middle of the batch on the card.
The number won't go down because you still have the image with the highest number on the card.

Make sure you have Dynamic Range set to DR100 (on the second page of the Image Quality Setting menu)

Screen Setting menu => Disp Custom Setting => EVF/LCD => AF (or MF) Distance Indicator
(and make sure you don’t have Large Indicators turned on)

It might depend on your computer - but using a card reader should be the fastest method of transferring files (make sure the reader is able to support the fastest read speed of your cards)

Does it change after you half press the shutter?

see the "Auto Update Setting"

I've never noticed that  'exp compensation when in M mode' option before - and it doesn't work for me either.
When in M mode and you have a specific ISO setting then you get the Film Simulation using the dial - which sort of makes sense as you wouldn't want exposure compensation to work when you have set Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO.
But when in M mode and using auto ISO the dial doesn't seem to do anything - I was expecting it to adjust the ISO but it doesn't.
Maybe someone else has found the answer.

I've tried everything I can think of, like what you said, but nothing.

Its the same as other X series cameras in the Image Quality menu - two types: High ISO NR and Long Exposure NR

It must have been some weird glitch in the matrix...I deleted all the uploaded pics and toggled all the fine and raw settings, re-imported and now it works as normal again.
Who knows?!🤷🏻‍♂️

I‘m quite sure, as this is the way other devices use such capacitors. But one would need a service manual to get exact knowledge.

 

I went through this same problem some years ago with the X-T2 and bought the first version of the Fringer adapter that jerryy has suggested. It has worked very well - and given decent AF performance as well as controlling the aperture.
