I have a new X100F and love the camera BUT twice in the last two days it has spontaneously reset itself so that I have to chose the language, time, picture size, etc. First time I thought it might be because I changed the battery. Second time it "just happened" even though the battery was fully charged. I have absolutely pampered this thing, never dropped, never exposed to rain/moisture. I read elsewhere in this forum about some internal battery failing. Is this a common failure mode? Back to the factory? Is there some other solution?

I talked with Fuji support -  nice people. The net is that there is a battery on the mother board that takes it's charge from the rechargeable battery. If the rechargeable battery is left out for an excessive amount of time, the other battery can run down, which would then require re-establishing all your settings. Other than that it is not typical for the camera to reset itself.

One other point of interest - Fuji has a computer program Fuji X-Acquire that can download all your current settings from the camera and in instances where the settings have been reset you can quickly reload the settings from your computer. The program is available from the Fuji support website.

In my case the situation bears watching to see if this is a one time occurrence or is something more serious requiring repair.

      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.
