All X-T4 cameras we buy in Europe are made in China. Fuji only delivers 'made in Japan' X-T4s to the USA to bypass the high trade tariffs imposed on Chinese products. In fact, I've been told (but I'm

No, the XPro-F has been working fine so far.

I experience the same problem using the X-T30 together with the X2T-F. Very annoying indeed!

I have a freezing X-T2 while using the Godox X2t trigger. I have been in contact with Godox helpdesk and their technicians "are looking at it". Waiting since November 2020.

To 'unfreeze' the camera it suffices to switch off the X2t trigger. Very disruptive to the workflow.

Hi everyone,

I had the same issues about freezing. It occured after taking a picture or on video start and pictures weren't saved as well. I remembered having formated the sd card using a pc. After using the camera everything worked fine again.

Just purchased the T-X4. Within 2 days I encountered an issue that prevents me from taking any photos. It was working just fine did a couple photos shoots without any issues. Then each time I press the shutter button half way or full, the camera resets / turns off and on without taking the photo.

Reset all settings, updated firmware even though it was already on the current version. Out of luck. Super disappointing after spending $2000 on a first real camera.

Okay, so, as a Newb, when my XT-4 froze on the first day (simulating a crazy long exposure -- for like 20 minutes), I figured I'd just done something stupid while experimenting. 

Now, it sounds like freezing is kind of a "thing". 

I'm on the latest firmware. I don't use a remote trigger. Nor any hotshoe devices; just the camera alone. 

I have 2 SD cards: a new 300Mb/sec Sandisk - 64GB. And a used 90Mb/sec Sandisk - 128GB. 

Any recommendations or solutions at this point from anyone?

Hello, I have the same issue with my XT-4 and the Godox X2T. It is a big issue. When I make shooting, the camera freeze after a while, I need to remove the battery to make it working again.

I have shot with my X-T4 for a year straight in all sorts of scenarios with zero problems. Today I attach the Godox X2-T flash trigger during a shoot and experienced the "orange light lockup" issue several times that's being talked about here. You must remove the battery to reset. It's clearly a problem related to using the Godox X2T, but it could be something with Fuji.

How can you "update" a current version of the firmware?

I had the same problem and solved it by replacing the Godox X2T with the Godox XPRO.  

No lockups yet.

Bummer to have to buy new equipment, but not as annoying as the workflow-breaking (and embarrassing) hard lockups.

My setup, for reference:

  • FujiFilm X-T2
  • Godox X-PROF
  • Godox V860II-F
  • Tethertools USB cable
  • CaptureOne-Fujifilm
  • 2x Sandisk Extreme Pro, 64MB

The only difference is the workstation.  The XPRO has been used on my iMac. The issues occurred while tethering to my MacBook Pro. I will be very sad if my MacBook is the cause. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hi, i have the same problem, my xt4 freezes at random moments. This happened before and after the software upgrade!

A few times after remote access bu alsof at random moments. Already two times the camera was frozen at power-off, but still consuming battery power. So then my camera becale overheated and battery was empty after a time. 

I mentioned this at the sales point already after one week but no reaction.... (belgium).

I am wondering if there are also some people NOT suffering with this problem???

I encountered this recently with the X2T-F (most recent firmware) simultaneously on my xt4 and gfx50s - I just spent an hour on troubleshooting and (for me at least, and for now) this worked: 

disable the LED AF switch on the godox transmitter, make sure that LED AF is also turned to "off" in the TTL settings of the camera body. 

fired a couple of hundred strobes like this with both bodies with no freezing occuring. 

firmware xt-4: 1.23

firmware gfx50s: 4.30

firmware godox x2t-f: 1.1

I have now contacted the reseller Scandinavian Photo and I selected to use my consumer right to just return the camera and lens, and then get a another brand new X-T4 and lens (as a package, as I originally bought it first time) from them. That way I avoid any discussion on a warranty situation. The person at Scandinavian Photo was very friendly and said that will be fine do so so.

I want to give Fujifilm a second chance, but if same problem with the new X-T4 camera I will get next week I will have to switch to another brand since then my patience will be gone with a Fujifilm camera. I asked Scandinavis Photo if I could return everything then (also the accessories I bought like two chargers, two batteries, one hand grip, etc) and buy another brand of similar camera and they said that I could do that.
I hope my X-T 4 was just a "lemon" and a very rare defect camera that left the Fujifilm factory in China.

I also want to tell you this, that I received from Fujifilm Nordic support today July 16 2020:
"Of course it should not be any freeze and I have talked to one of our product specialists regarding this. It has nothing to do with the firmware, it seems to be a problem with the camera."

Sounds like quality control at the Fuji China plant is taking a hit from Covid 19 . Have 10 Fuji lenses that I’m happy with and was looking to acquire the xt4 .Experience from my xt1 tells me that a freeze is fixed with a new motherboard ie. Off you go …back to factory but what worries me more is when the camera seems to be unable to rapidly refocus on the nearest object (which is the bread and butter of any event photographer). Hope to hear good news soon .

Hello, i have just purchased X2T with my Fuji XT-3. Upgraded the X2T-F to its latest 1.2 firmware but it still causes my XT3 to freeze.

My XT3 is on its latest firmware too. Any other people facing still the same issue?

 

Not to mention the auto-TTL setting on the X2T-F. Can't be switched to Manual mode. this is very frustating.

I purchased my XT4 last month and it came with firmware 1.25, there have been numberous freezes while i did interval shootings, particularly between 3-4 s intervals. Then firmware 1.30 was released and it did not help at all! I've switched off all kind of blue-tooth and wifi sync but the freezing was still not resolved. Truely disappointed now.

Hello all,

I'm having what I believe is the same problem as you guys: I'm using a Fuji X-S10 together with the Godox X2T-F trigger (firmware version 1.3) , but they don't seem to communicate correctly.
The strange thing is that this happens only (as far I've tested) with the Fringer adapter EF-FX Pro II, AND Canon 50mm f/1.4.
I don't see this occurring with the same lens adapter and Canon 85mm f/1.8 or with an original Fuji lens, such as the 18-55mm.

The problem that I see is that the TTL mode is continuously switching between being on and off. Of course I can't shoot in this situation.

I tested the same trigger with Fuji X100F, and seems that everything is working correctly.
I assume the problem is with the specific configuration: X-S10, X2T-F trigger, EF-FX Pro II adapter, Canon 50/1.4.

      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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      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

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.
