Problem with my X Pro2.


Recommended Posts

I had the reset problem only once. I had a few dance/music events last week but I notched my X-PRO2 has a serious heat problem in high performance mode/raw. It gets so hot my hands get sweat even my face gets hot because I shoot most of the time with my left eye. Please Fuji optimise the firmware so it doesn't get this ridiculous hot! It also makes my batteries die fast when it gets this hot.

Yes, my hands were sweating as well and the camera got slippery. :( I hope the firmware will optimize it!

I haven't pushed mine too hard yet, as I'm still having fun with the Acros+jpeg.  I'm starting to wonder though, if these bugs were what caused Fuji to push the release date of the body.  This heat issue concerns me more than the reset, but IMO this is inexcusable for a Fujifilm body that's supposedly been thoroughly tested prior to release.  I get that they're better than average with fw updates, but they shouldn't get lazy, and say "no worries, we'll send out an update!"

I'm betting the bugs are a result of what delayed the release date...

 

I doubt very seriously they were aware of this.  This would've been one of the first things the Fuji Pros told them about.  Can't shoot a wedding if your settings keep resetting on you.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer went ahead with a release, knowingly with some bugs.  In Fuji's case there was a delay, then a quick "all things clear." which is odd to me.  In their defense (if this is true) you can't push a late-notice bug update to thousands of already boxed and shipped or waiting to ship bodies.  Looks like I'll be shooting some RAW this weekend just to see.

2 Weeks with the Xpro 2 which helps to make some beautiful images. However:

 

Even with new firmware I can count on it resetting at least once per day.

The EVF behaves inconsistently in terms of color and brightness even disabling the auto feature.

Until 2 days ago, Lightroom could "see" files on the sd cards in the camera and import them. Then it

just stopped working. I was able to repeat it in LR on my laptop too.

This morning and while using the camera for work, I kept getting card read errors though it had been
happy with the same cards for the first 8 days.
I like to look at my image for 1.5 seconds when I'm done with a long exposure. Sometimes it will display that
long as the menu indicates it should and sometimes it decides it doesn't like the picture and displays it for
a split second.

 

I am not a whiner. I have had Fuji starting with the X100 and I have never had so many things go flakey. 

 

I will take it to Edison to see what they can do but I am beginning to feel like I can't trust the camera to work
when I need it too.

    • It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

    • I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?
    • The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.
