Excellent!

It is possible the battery’s charge was lower than indicated. You could try charging the battery in an external charger and see if that helps, but realistically, you probably need to have a chat with the retailer.

I second that! Nitro is excellent.

You do have some options.
If you want to use Apple’s Photos to take care of storing, managing the files and lightweight editing but want to also use an raw converter / editor with more “oomph”, you can do that as well: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102259 scroll down to the part about “Install Mac apps …”. Affinity Photo comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2Zt1NDfC7E

DarkTable, a raw convertor also has a dam built into it, you might like it. This program has a steeper learning curve than Photos does, but it is very powerful: https://www.darktable.org
If you are inclined to do a little more asset management yourself, RawTherapee or Fujifilm’s Raw Converter are pretty good:

Venus and the Falling Leaves Moon

When this new moon grows up it will be called the Hunter's Full Moon or the Falling Leaves Moon.

August's full moon goes by a lot of names, including the Sturgeon Moon, the Green Corn Moon, the Raksha Bandhan Moon, Nikini Soya, and the end of the Esala Perahera festival.
It is called the Sturgeon moon because during this time of the year, there is supposed to be lots of sturgeons out swimming around. Here is a link to some more information:

Thanks for this, Jerry. In fact my camera was already set to Auto + Manual but the schoolboy error I made was to turn the control wheel the wrong way i.e. towards Maximum aperture instead of Minimum - which of course works!

Thank you for your reply jerryy. I will take it to the repair shop and see what they say. 
Thank you, I really hope so too 😊

Hi folks,
I got an official reply about the "Interlock MF assist & Focus ring" option with MF lenses.
Don’t fret, what you’re experiencing is normal. The question that would showcase why it’s not working would be:
“How would the camera know when the focus ring is moved without a way of communicating that to the camera body if there are no contacts on the lens to pass that information?”
Essentially with FUJIFILM lenses (and basically almost all new lenses from every manufacturer), moving the focus ring changes focus electronically so the camera knows when the ring is moved through software/hardware, without that, like with vintage lenses with mechanical focus, there isn’t a way for the camera to electronically know when the ring is moved, so the function won’t work as intended to turn off/on MF assist when the focus ring is engaged.

A friend told us that one cannot have just one cat and she was correct as Peaches, our sweet Ginger girl, found us at the rescue shelter when we went to visit. Peaches X-H2s, Fuji 150-600. Another photo of Peanut our huntress and my lap kitty. Peanut X-T50, Viltrox 75mm F1.4.

Exaclty, I also read it and I got it how it should work. It doesn't make sense to me that it doesn't work with MF lenses. But I've just tested another MF lens (so three in total) and same behavior. 
Works correctly with AF lenses.

Would be great if someone else could test the option "Interlock MF assist & Focus ring" on the X-T50 with a manual lens in order to understand if it is correct it only works with AF lenses or if my camera has a bug

Kind of hope so, that would mean they might fix it...sooner or later

1.) No, no you do not. But, there is a menu option whereby you can enter a focal length for several manual lenses. This length (when a manual lens is on the body) is entered into the EXIF data. Note: You need to switch between the manual fl settings for the various manual lenses, the camera does not know which manual lens is attached.
2.) That would be a neat trick to have, but alas, no. Aperture Priority needs the camera to control the shutter speed, etc., while knowing the f-stop, but without any electrical contacts on the lens, …
Focus peaking works well enough as do the other manual focus assists the camera provides. This is because the assists use the image that hits the sensor, things such as good lighting, etc. are determining factors.

edit: Dang typos!
Edit for 2.): As @thelostkiwi mentions, if you are fortunate enough to have a lens with an aperture ring, you can get Aperture Priority to work. Depending on the body you may need to set the Mode Selector switch to 'Auto' (this the switch under the shutter speed switch) and set the shutter speed to 'A'.
