Fellow X-Pro2 owners: anyone else had their camera freeze up where the only remedy is to remove the battery?  This happened when I was scrolling through the menu.  

 

*on a side note, I've also had the issue of the menus resetting.  

 

Thanks!

Mine froze today while showing it to my friend. I was in playback mode and pressed the top Fn button which brought up the wireless function. I then pressed the Disp/Back button to exit and nothing happened. What was really surprising was that I then shut off the camera with the shutter collar switch and it still refused to shut down. I had to remove the camera for it to actually shut off.

The reset is usually caused by the CPU not having enough charge, try putting a fully charged battery in and leave for 24hrs and you should find the settings are intact - I have not had that issue but did leave fully charged battery in the camera for nearly 24hrs before changing settings/ using the camera - no issues, the camera has been off since Sat and I have just checked it and all the settings are still intact.

So I've understood that you leave a day a full battery before use first time the camera: but, during this time, do you simply leave the camera off, or on?

Thanks

Apologies, but this is not correct. The CPU does not require a "charge" any more than your SD memory card does. What you're referring to is the battery-backed up RAM that was common a couple of decades ago. The settings data for the X-Pro 2 is stored in Flash memory on the main board of the camera. Fuji has already acknowledged that they are aware of some people experiencing resets and are looking into it. When they find the problem, it will be fixed via a firmware update.

 

The reason you have not experienced it is because you have probably not come across one of the possible sequence or scenarios that trigger the reset; not because you put in a fully charged battery.

      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!

      Transfer X-T5 for PC wi fi...

      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.
