Hi all

took my x100t out after a while in storage, both batteries dead and wouldn’t recharge. Assumed they were dead after a several month period with no charge, bought a new battery, charged it over night: shows one battery bar on the camera display.

 

the charger seems to be working (LED light comes on).

 

what might be happening? Is it the charger or the camera?

 

thanks for any ideas

but generally pretty good

In my experience the battery indicator does not work correctly with some non-genuine batteries. You could test how long the camera will actually work with one bar battery indicator, the battery might be fully loaded.

I have one Fuji original and one Power2000 that are still OK, this November they'll be 10 years old when I bought X100. Both are  allowing hundreds of images to be taken, both were fully discharged several times. I did have a B&H house brand battery for Nikon not take a charge after complete discharge, that one was about nine years old.

If I were you, I wouldn't just throw those batteries away, as they are very toxic and highly polluting. It is better to give them to people who are engaged in recycling. I for example use ZeroWaste rubbish removal services, they take my trash and then they either recycle it or dispose of it, I think it's environmentally friendly and the right thing to do. I think you need to do more research on the product before you buy it, so you don't have to repeat the same story later. Think about nature, guys.

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      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.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      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

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      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.
