Ok, so I bought a camera (Fuji xt-2 with 18-55mm) off of my good friend back in June of this year, and I had used it a fair number of times no problem, taking photos while on holiday and around London to do some street photography. I was in London just yestaday and I went to take a picture and as I was about to take it the screen froze. I didn't quite know what to do so I left it a little bit thinking it might come back but it didn't, and even when I turned it off with the switch the frozen screen was still there, so I took the battery out and turned it on again and it wouldn't turn on full stop. So when I got home I charged my official fuji battery thinking it might be the batteries fault, but I put it in the camera and turned it on. Fully charged overnight, it worked for about 5 seconds, told me I had no memory card because I took it out and then showed the no battery sign and turned off. I turned it off and on again and held on the viewmode button and display button, and it brought me to the language screen so I am assuming it factory reset it, again it said no battery and shut off, I did the same again and this time the screen turned a light green sort of colour (I am colour blind) with white streaks going through it, once again switching it off did nothing and once taking out the battery it went away, and now it won't turn on again. However, I will say that something does happen when you turn it on, as I can hear a sound, I don't really know what it is as I am fairly new to photography and cameras, but it sounded like the shutter moving or something similar. Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated as I spent a lot of money for my first camera.

Update: Okay, so I have 3 batteries. The fujifilm and one of the off brand batteries seems to not work at all, causing the camera to not turn on or glitch out. But I tried one of the other off brand batteries and it worked, turned on as normal, I was able to take photos and I put the memory card back in and all of my photos were still there, so it seems that the Fuji official and one of the off brand batteries are kaput? I don't really know I was able to turn the camera on and off consistently with the one that worked. Maybe its just a big conicidence that both of those batteries died at similar times? Or is there something else?

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
