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.

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.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
