This is due to a battery inside the camera. Leave a charged battery in the camera and wait 1-2 days. After that time, the battery of the buffer memory should be fully charged and should be able to remember your settings. I had 1 reset, too, and now it works like a charm.

I have the same issue with my X Pro2. I've owned the camera for a few days and on three occasions the camera has self reset to the factory settings. All of 'my menu' settings also disappear along with all of the custom Q menu settings. I'm going to return it to the retailer this weekend.

Before you do that, try Marc G.'s solution in the second post in this thread.

I cannot connect by WiFi to either my Android phone (running latest version of both Fujifilm apps) nor my instax printer. connection just fails each time.

 

This isn't cool.

 

I was able to connect by WiFI to my Android phone, but was only able to get the Fujifilm Camera Remote app to respond 2 out of 10 tries. The app would find the camera, but then only display "waiting." On the two tries that worked, it would go to the menu for transfer, remote shooting, etc. However, once in one of those modes, I found that there was no way to go back to the main menu without disconnecting. Am I missing something?

The fuji phone app is flakey at the best of times

If you are having probs make sure its not the Raw file you are trying to print 

It won't do that

To Nick05, jkundi and all others interested in AF-Speed:

 

I own and use a X-T1 (FW 4.3) & X-T10 (mo more...;-))

As far as I can say for now, AF Speed is between significantly to much faster than with X-T1, depending on Lens Selection, AF-Mode an light conditions.

 

Especially with Xf 90 F2 an Single Point S-AF, i am able to get fatastic results taking tack sharp pictures of kids runnig towards me.

XF 35 F2 and XF 50-140 F2.8 are approximately in the same league.

The Settings-Reset phenomenon was solved for me by keeping a fully charged battery for 2 days in the camera.

Settings are safe now, even when i take the (nearly empty) battery out, wait until it is fully reloaded in the fujifilm charger, an put it then back, without having a loaded spare battery in the x-pro2 in the meantime.

 

Thanks, Marc G.

I am glad, that i was all about it!

Thanks, I was trying to print the RAW file from the first SD card.

 

Making sure I was in the second card where the JPEGs are, sorted it!

Got my camera today, and when sitting fiddling with it, I felt it getting somewhat warm and suddenly it did a reset to factory settings. It lost all settings except for the time and date. I'll give it a few days before I return it.  :mellow:

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      How does one make sure that Fuji's image correction is turned on to correct barrel and pin-cushion distortion on a GFX 100 or GFX100S when using the GF20-35? Is it only applied to the jpegs and not to the raw files? (I was surprised to discover the barrel distortion on the GF 35-70mm lens.) I normally shoot in raw with jpeg back-up and use the raw files, which I convert either in Affinity Photo 2 when editing with that program or in Raw File Converter Ex 3.0 by Silkypix if I wish to process the image in Photoshop CS6. (Adobe DNG is also a possibility.) Thank you for the help. Trevor
