Hi Everyone,

No it is not that card read error which is usually caused by hidden files after viewing files on a Mac etc...

No it is not a faulty SD card, multiple cards showing the error in the same camera (X-T2) the same cards working fine in other fuji/sony cameras.

What happened, I have upgraded the firmware to the latest (it is version 4.40 for the camera body) - although I haven't used the camera for a while, but recently it is producing this dreaded error message when reviewing the still images on camera. When I check the images (JPG) on a computer they look corrupted - to a degree, still readable images with lots of colour lines etc.

You may think it could be a hardware issue, but it is not! When I record 4K video, it is done perfectly and saved to the SD card, can easily play it back in camera and looks absolutely fine when reviewed on computer.

It looks like the camera (software/firmware) saving a still image to the card incorrectly and then files become corrupted. It is not affected by JPEG quality or RAW file compression. Also the card has been formatted in camera and/or computer - it has no effect on the error message/issue.

Please help, as my X-T2 has been very close to my heart... this one was my favourite camera.
My suspicion is that it should be the firmware update - unfortunately there is no way to install a rollback version to the camera body.

thx

I had a similar issue a few years ago, and after contacting Fuji, they had me download an older firmware version to get the camera working, and then do the latest version download again.

I was back in business.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.

      What's the deal Fuji X Forum? I'm noticing there are seldom replies to any topics - except for advertisements posted as replies. Really lame. Anyone else noticing the only reply they receive to a question is an advert?  🤠 fotomatt in Colorado
