Tried my first UHS-II card, the Lexar 32gb 1000x card and experienced random write errors while using the card. I have the latest firmware 4.1(tried it first on 4.0), tried 2 cards both experienced errors. I was shooting landscapes, S mode and CH mode, with the same issues, using RAW+JPEG .

Never any issues with other UHS-I cards. Also just tested new Lexar UHS-1 633x (U3) with no issue, no errors so it's not the brand.

Any new of Fuji addressing this issue (I know they used Toshiba in tests, but most users will use SanDisk or Lexar cards. Any comments.?

I've never experienced a write error with any UHS-2 card, be it Lexar or Toshiba or SanDisk. That said, I'm not using the slower 1000x card but the fast 2000x card. 

 

I have seen that the 2000x may not work fast in all X-T1 cameras. In my case, it works in 3 out of 4 X-T1 I've tested it with. In the exception model (early January 2014 production), the card works very slowly, seemingly falling back to a slow UHS-1 emergency mode. But still, no write errors.

I didn't get any write errors when I tried some lexar 1000x cards...but when viewing the images the camera was a lot slower and often would freeze for a few moments...then I could view a few images...then freeze for a bit. This happened on both my XT1 bodies.

I got exactly the same issue, both my xt-1 have hard time displaying pictures from UHS-II cards. Initially I thought it was because of size (128G) and bought 32G. However, nothing changed. FW upgrades didn't impove situation, so mostly I shoot on UHS-I :)

I picked up a couple of Lexar 1000x cards for a recent trip to Japan and was having the same problem with my XT1. I was a little freaked out at first, but I switched to an older, slower card and the issue went away.

 

I'm glad to find out it's not my camera, but it's kind of annoying. I wonder if it's the kind of thing that could be fixed in a future firmware update.

Same problem in CH the 2000x Lexar UHS-2 32GB. Returned card and ordered my favorite:

Q: Are UHS-2 cards worth the cost for STILL photography at this time? I can see it for 4K video on other cameras. But for folks shooting single shot or even CH, isn't the cheaper UHS-1 U3 good enough? The Lexar was $70 and the UHS-1 was $25. Not seeing a $50 benefit with write errors.

if it can be usefull for comparison with other brands, I had a 16GB SanDisk UHS-II for almost a year now and never got writing errors...

 

I remember reading somewhere that bigger SD cards (128GB and higher) can have some issue

Same here. Never a problem with Sandisk cards but I have seen errors with Sony and Lexar cards.

Very interesting topic!

When I use my only UHS- II, the Lexar 32gb, my X- T1 starts very slowly- it first shows the display, then I have to wait around 15 seconds, till I see how many shots are left, till the EVF starts working.

After that everything is working as I am used too.

This strange behaviour only occurs with this card in the X- T1, not in the X- E2 nor the X100s.

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      In reply to the original question, it all depends on what you mean by infrared.  If you mean "see thermal information", then I agree with the comments here.  However, if you mean near-infrared, the X-T4, or basically any digital camera can be modified to "see" it.  Check out Lifepixel.com and Kolarivision.com for more info.

      XS10 and manual lenses

      No - I don’t think so - it means you can take pictures if you remove the lens completely - but I’m not sure that is a problem

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By mcewena · Posted

      I bought a manual lens over xmas and it took me a while to find the "shutter w/o lens" function in the menu settings.  So far I haven't found a way to either put that on the Q menu or marry that setting to one of the 4 custom modes.   Am I missing something? Is there a problem if I just leave that setting enabled even when the OEM auto lens is in place? tia

      Apple Support for Compressed RAF files

      By Greybeard · Posted

      It appears that Apple now (at last!) fully supports FujiFilm Lossless and Compressed RAF files. In the latest updates of MacOS Tahoe 26.2, iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 compressed files are supported in Finder/Files and the Photos app. Good news for those of us with Macs and iPads.
