  1. Are you getting the problem when shooting in daylight or in artificial light, or both? With certain artificial lighting, particularly LED office type panel lighting, you can get banding and flickering because of the frequency of the lights. The only way to stop this appearing in your photographs is to use a slower shutter speed, 1/100th or slower.
  2. Hi, I also have an X-E3 as well as recently purchasing an XT-2 and with both of these I have found the download process using the app on my phone to be hit and miss. Sometimes they connect and generally only after a few attempts, just as happens with my X70. When I use the app, I often have to repeatedly add the relevant camera to the application’s list that is located in the drop-down menu at the top left corner of the screen. All cameras have the issue of changing the image file name to a random set of numbers and letters which do not retain any type of sequence. I use an iPhone 7 with the IOS up to date and the latest version of the Fujifilm app. I would be curious to know if the issue exists for Android versions. As regards other methods of downloading, I will always download my photos to my computer and this always works without issue. The proper file name is always retained. I work on a Mac and if I use the application ImageCapture linking directly by usb to the camera it will work as it should. If I remove the card from the camera and insert it in to the computer’s SD slot or use a card reader then it works fine as well. As far as I can see, the phone app is the only method that causes an issue so I only use it occasionally if I need to forward an image immediately.
  3. That would work, but it's when I add the photos directly to my phone and then back my phone contents up to Google Drive, they are all over the place because uploading to drive changes the date to the date of upload so my back-ups are all out of sequence. When I take photos, I transfer them from camera to computer to hard drive for my main go-to collections, so they are all in sequences as they should be with the timeline saved according to when the photos are taken. Transferring them via the App to the phone also retains the metadata and info, but not the file name. I don't get it. I'm a bit OCD when it comes to all this and when things don't co-operate I get a bit rattled. I get suspicious then that something else is going to happen. Thanks for the reply. David
  4. Hi. What you need to do is connect the camera with the USB cable and then turn it on. The camera will not appear as an external drive on your desktop. Generally, with a Mac, ApplePhoto launches. When this happens just quite the application, don't let it do the importing for you as it places all your photographs in a sealed package which can only be accessed by launching the application. instead, the application you need is in the applications folder, it's called ImageCapture. Launch ImageCapture and you will see your camera listed on the top left corner.Click on the camera and it will list all the contents of the camera in the main window. At the bottom of the screen there is a small drop down panel which will allow you to direct the application to save to a particular folder, you can either pick something from the drop down menu or at the very bottom of the list, select 'other' and then designate where you want to save to, such as a new older on your desktop. That's what I do and then transfer to online storage and a portable drive. Apple, by default, will try to get you to use ApplePhoto or else save all to the 'pictures' folder. By saving to your own created folder it stops the possibility of duplicate names, which could happen if allowing your computer save to the 'pictures' by default.
  5. When I use my phone (iPhone 7) to copy photographs from any my Fujifilm cameras (X70, X-T2, X-E3) When I do this, the file names are changed by the app. A typical example - Photograph no DSCF5046.JPG was changed to 1B8B3875-2FE4-4323-A09D-513F4A3EF97A-21700-000026662A000D9C.jpg This happened even if the transfer setting on the camera is set at full image size or restricted to below 3mb. The file number appears to be completely random as far as I can see and consequently the images don't follow any sort of alphabetical or numerical sequence when stored online. The sequence is completely random. I am using the very latest version of the Fujifilm Remote App and my phone OS is up to date. This problem started happening since an update from a few generations ago and I had hoped that the new latest update might have had a correction. Unfortunately it made no difference. Is there something I can do to solve this? I have searched online and have had no success or even come across anyone else who even refers to it. I contacted Fuji but they have said that they don’t have a solution. They had come across the problem themselves when I highlighted it but on subsequent follow up they then said that the lates version resolved it for them, but it didn’t for me. Has anyone come across this and, if so, have you resolved it?
