Camera Slow in Single Frame shooting mode

[OrangeCandle]

Hey there,

i got my x-t4 about a month ago and have been really enjoying it so far. I dove into some fuji film jpg recipes over the weekend and noticed that shooting in single frame mode really slowed the camera down when using recipes.

What seems to be happening is that after taking the picture the camera screen goes black, says "storing" and shows a little loading icon, after about a second its ready to take the next shot. So it seems as if the camera cant process the data in the background. So there is a "blackout" after taking photo where i cant take another photo.

When using CH or CL or the BKT mode, shooting speed is not noticably slowed down and the jpg processing seems to be done in the background, even between two BKT- Shots there is no delay / processing screen and the camera is snappy as i think its supposed to be.

A friend owns an x-t2 and has no speed issues when using jpg processing + single frame shooting, so i think this might be down to firmware.

Has anyone heard of this, can confirm this, knows whether its a bug or a feature, knows if fuji is working on it, or has even found a solution?

Thank you.

HDR maybe?

Hi, I've mentioned this in another thread but are you using the Clarity setting at all? Setting it to anything other than '0' results in the 'Storing' issue. Not sure why this is but hopefully it's something that can be fixed in a firmware update.

I posted a link Ken Wheeler's book.  it might help out.  Give it a look.  What SD card are you using?

Thanks for the replies!

yes, i was using the clarity setting (at +1) and setting it to 0 did fix the storing screen.

What still bugs me tho, is that when using other shooting modes even with clarity there is no delay. But that means its definetly a Firmware issue that is hopefully resolved soon.

 

im using a 128 GB Lexar 1667x sd card. its plenty fast and i have not encountered storage issues anywhere else so far.

I'm glad that you got it settled.  The XT4 is spendy...  And glad that there are no issues with the SD card.

I had the same problem on X-T4. Clarity = 0 no problem --- clarity <> 0 problem. I have had the same problem for a couple months with X100V. --- same solution ---- no clarity --- no problem.  They ought to get that fixed.

Why don't you read the messages above? The solution is there.

Hi Jan 2024, X-T3ii still happening. Sorted now thanks to this thread

Hi! I'm having the same issue with my XT-4.  The clarity is at 0.  Still happens.  So frustrating to not be able to take multiple shots in a a row.  Any other suggestions?

Did you set the power mode to „boost“?

[OrangeCandle]

Don’t have the XT4 anymore sadly, but I remember that it only occurred in single shot mode,  shooting in burst mode was never an issue. What you could do is set your burst speed to 5 fps and that way it should be fairly easy to just take one picture, and not have the processing screen delay even when clarity is something other than 0.

But again, no idea I’d they fixed my initial problem via firmware in the meantime.
