XT3 4.52 Firmware

[Don53]

I have been using the Fujifilm Cam Remote app on my Iphone without any issues since I bought the camera. The last time I received notification it was for the 4.51 update and when I downloaded to the phone it said my camera already had the latest firmware installed. So today I got another firmware notice update for version 4.52, and same issue occurred the phone down loaded it but when I tried installing it on the camera it said I already had the latest version. I checked the camera and it has firmware version 4.50 on it.

Any ideas on how I can fix this issue. I already re-installed the app on the phone and paired it with the camera still no luck.

Hi Don53, I experienced exactly the same issue with the mobile phone app and the XT3, I sorted it by downloading the firmware file to an SD card and inserting the card into the camera, then switch the camera on whilst holding the DISP/BACK button and select update body.

The process should start then.

Went ahead and used the SD card to install the update. Called Fujifilm help line and they said it was an Iphone issue so they are working on the app to resolve.

Hi Don, thanks for your help. I downloaded the latest firmware 4.52 to SD card and inserted into camera (having taken battery out for a while) - I still have the Pair with Smartphone menu again so I don't see how the camera will take on the update. Any ideas on this? Thanks.

Hi, I have a problem with the XT-3, never experienced this before. Well, I wanted to take a few photos, after taking the photos the diode blinks alternately green and red. I turned off the camera, turned it on again and after pressing the gallery there are no photos there. I don't have a PC configured to automatically upload photos there. I restarted all camera settings to default, formatted two cards in the camera from the camera, still the same, the only thing I've done recently is to update the firmware to version 4.52 ... Help ...

Did you try to start the camera as @Ian1961 wrote, hold down the DISP/BACK button while turning the camera on?

One thing to keep in mind, if you pull the main battery to reset the camera, you have to let the camera sit on the shelf, so to speak, for many days until the settings battery completely discharges, it can take quite a few days.

Thanks Don. I just saw this answer from you. I achieved a firmware update holding down the DISP/BACK button while turning camera on! But unfortunately, I still get the menu 'pair with smart phone' so will now remove battery and leave camera to completely discharge. Will let you know what happens in a few days! Thanks again.

Can anyone help? I’ve got an X-T3 which has worked perfectly until now. I always have it set up to delete RAW and JPEG files simultaneously. Since downloading the new Fuji app to transfer photos I’ve experienced two problems. 1. The camera recorded the date taken on each photo as 2018 (!). 
I managed to sort this out by resetting the date on the camera and also reset the date for my photos on my computer. 
2. the second problem I have not managed to solve….  I can no longer delete RAW and JPEG files simultaneously. I have reset the camera but no joy. I spoke with helpful Fuji support desk who suggested I reinstall the firmware. But of course the X-T3 has the latest firmware so I cannot update it. 
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

how do I uninstall the existing firmware?? Remove battery while turning off camera?? Then wait a week??

 

Any advice would be welcomed.

I think firmware installation is a one way process - its not like the other settings and gets reset when the internal capacitor runs down.
