Strange artifacts

Recommended Posts

Hi,

after some lens change in the woods i have discovered strange artifacts on my photos.

Is there any who can discover what's the problem?

It is X T20.

Maybe some moisture had come inside ?


Thanks

This is possible of course.

Because I am wearing my camera on Peak design capture on my backpack there is a chance to switch camera on or off accidentally.

But I don't think this would be the first time I have changed my lens while camera turned on. And I have had the Fuji X for 5 years. (X T10 before).

That looks like a bit of static discharge which can happen in the dry times of winter when clothing rubs against each other. The camera being on while the lens is off would make the sensor an easy pathway for the static to move to ground.

If this not still happening then the sensor should have recovered.

I don't think that's the case. It's still there and now I am waiting for the response from the Fuji service center. They have asked me to sent them some RAWs to inevstigate what's going on.
I think that if it'll be something about static it'll be gone by now. It is five weeks since it firtst appeared and nothing changed.
 

I have added 200% zoom of the affected RAW. If you click on it it seems really strange.

Not static like radio static but static electricity. It is the bane of electronic equipment, it can easily fry a circuit, it is like a lightning strike. Since you say it is still happening, your sensor may have gotten zapped.

p.s. I hope that I am wrong about this.

🙂I know what static electricity is. I am an electrician by chance. So i don't think it's the problem. I don't understand how could some electric discharge happen while I change the lens in the woods. There was the snow everywhere around me so everywhere some conductor.
 

BTW. Sorry if my english is bad. I am not a native .

As I said, I hope that I am wrong.

This is why people who work on computers and other types of electronic gear wear grounding straps while doing so. They have piles of dead motherboards, memory and other chips to remind them of why.

In the winter, when the air is very dry, a static charge can quickly and easily build up on your shirt, coat, clothing. While the camera is shielded on the outside, if the camera is turned on with the lens removed, there is not as much shielding on the inside. The battery is the ground ( negative terminal ) and the sensor is a pathway surface to that ground. If the camera is off while the lens is removed, there is no path to ground, so the static electricity stays static and does not discharge.

Have you tried pixel mapping? My understanding is this will eliminate hot or stuck pixels and replace them with nearby pixels, effectively blending out the odd ones. Worth a review in your manual or a google. I just did a quick search and didn’t see any negative posts regarding this process.

Hope this is helpful,

David

Thanks David.

Yes I have tried pixel mapping.

But as far as I understand pixel mapping is for really dead pixels. But I have thousands of those pixels and it's not doing anything.

Now I am waiting for some info from Fuji service center so I will see what's going on.

Cheers.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
