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!

and so it begins :)
 

No freezing but have had the reset thing 

Since then all is good 

There may well be the odd teething problem and I fully expect a firmware update fairly soon 

I wouldn't worry too much

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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      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

      By Trevor R · Posted

      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.

      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.
