X-T3 locking up on latest firmware 3.10

I never had this issue until I applied the 3.01 firmware update and all of a sudden my camera is randomly locking up.  Then I updated it to the currently latest version, 3.10 and it is still doing it.  It has done it with my xf16-55 mounted, xf80 mounted and xf50-140 mounted.  I've had Godox speedlights on it as well as a remote trigger and it has happened and it has happened without any speedlight or trigger attached.  Batteries are Fuji batteries NPW-126S.

When it locks up the camera goes completely non-responsive.  Nothing shows in the EVF or on the back screen and the little orange indicator light in the thumb brace comes on and stays on.  Turning it on and off does nothing.  I have to pop the battery out.  I've found no rhyme or reason as to when it happens.  It just does.  Sometimes multiple times in a row and then it will be fine for a while.

Anyone have any insight?  I wish I could go back to the firmware prior to 3.01 as it worked perfectly for me.

The firmware update may be coincidence. I had this experience with an x-t2. it was caused by a faulty SD card. Swopping them around will not work. The bad one will cause this fault in either slot. Replace both in the first instance and see what happens. I do hope that it is that simple for you too.

Thanks guys.  I reached out to Fuji service and they had me ship it for service and they are replacing the mainboard right now but I will check my cards as well.  I can't remember if I was using the same set of cards each time it locked up or not but cards are cheap to replace so I will swap them just in case.

Final update on this.  Fuji service replaced the mainboard on my X-T3 as the OTA update to 3.1 appears to have corrupted it somehow.  It took them 3 weeks to repair it and send it back but it is working great now.  Put the new firmware on using the old school method and can see an improvement in focus speed now as well.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
