XT1 write errors with UHS-II cards

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

    • Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!
    • Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.
    • Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
    • What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
