X-S10 Audio Issue


novum verum

Recommended Posts

I recently upgraded to the X-S10 and initially had no issues. But after only 2 weeks of light use, I discovered an audio issue.

I didn't notice until I uploaded my footage onto my computer, but all my clips had static in the audio. When I turned on my camera and started recording again, I noticed that the audio gauge was jumping even though there were no discernable sounds whatsoever. I thought it may have been my wireless lav mic so I reset it, but that didn't work. I unplugged it to try to use the built-in mic, but it too had static. I then tried my two shotgun mics, but the static persisted. I even tried flipping and changing the cables, to no avail.

Mind you, at this point I had not touched the audio settings on the camera whatsoever. After searching online for a solution however, I tried every suggestion, in every combination possible, but still nothing worked. I even thought that maybe there was some sort of interference from my computer, so I turned off all of my electronics -- no luck.

If anyone else has come across this issue and found a solution, please let me know asap. I'm not remotely knowledgeable enough to even attempt editing the audio track, so a fix on the camera is the only option. If not, I'll probably just have to return it 😢

    • I can recommend this one from Mathorn brand: https://mathorn.com/en/tethering-cables/tethering-5m-2/mtc-531/ It works nice with my GFX50s - see the video  
    • Probably this: https://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/gfx100s/menu_shooting/image_quality_setting/#clarity
    • so if i'm shooting uncompressed 16-bit RAW files it takes a significant amount of time to write to card. Got the high end UHS II cards, and this does not happen with burst shooting, only single frame shots. what setting am i missing that causes this to happen?
    • The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful. 
    • I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.
