When downloading the latest firmware for the Fuji 16-55/2.8, I don't get a zip file but instead a folder (XFUP0019) containing two files. (XFUP0019.DAT and XFUP0064.DAT). Why?

Ok, but when I inserted the card - with the two data files - into my XH2 and selected update of the lens, the answer is "New update cannot be found. Turn off the camera."

Make sure the file name is correct, including the extension “.DAT”.  The file name itself can’t have any extra characters such as “(1)” or such, which sometimes OS systems like to add.  They also have to be in the root of the SD card, do not copy the folder structure - just its contents.  
 

Also, are you sure the lends needs updating?  Check the firmware version on the lens first.

It seems like you're experiencing a bit of confusion with the firmware update process for your Fuji 16-55/2.8 lens. No worries, the situation you described is quite normal. The Fuji firmware updates indeed come in a .DAT format rather than the common .zip format.

The two .DAT files you mentioned, XFUP0019.DAT and XFUP0064.DAT, are likely different versions of the firmware. Fuji sometimes includes older firmware in the download package as well in case there are issues with the latest update.

Here are the steps to update your firmware:

    Format your SD card in the camera.


    Copy the firmware file (the .DAT file) onto the root directory of your SD card.


    Insert the SD card back into the camera.


    Switch the camera on while holding down the 'Display/Back' button to open the firmware upgrade menu.


    Confirm the process and wait for the firmware to update.

I'm also having a problem with updating my X-T100 firmware. I format the SD card on my camera, put the card in my PC running WIN10, download the firmware from the Fuji site and see the two files (FWUP0023.DAT for the camera and XFUP0029.zip for the lens). I've also tried doing this just for the camera. 

Then I insert my SD card into the PC and put those files on the card and put the card in my camera. When I turn on the camera holding the DISP/BACK button, I see the same versions that came with the camera. When I click on OK I get a screen that says Select Item. When I select lens or camera, in each case I get a message "New firmware not be found. Turn off camera."

I have repeated this process several times to no avail. Suggestions?

X-T5 Trying to update firmware. Getting "update not found, turn off camera" message. 

I have tried 6 times, doing everything that has been suggested.  File name is correct.  Deleted the file and re-downloaded it each time.  Copied directly from Mac downloads file to newly formatted SD card.  Tried with lens attached and with lens removed.  Loaded the lens update file.  Nothing helps.

Will not work . . . . Any further suggestions??????

Did you unpack the Firmware file and put to the root of the SD card?

I did not unpack the file.  I copied it directly from the download file to the SD card.  (I've owned almost every version of the "X" cameras since the release of the X-E1 and have never encountered this problem before.  I bought this X-T5 new and this is my first firmware update on this camera.

This is a strange problem indeed. The only thing I can think of is to use a different computer, or try the Xapp method. I have an x-t5 and have not encountered this problem. The clue might be in your mention of zipped files. If memory serves me, the downloaded file is not zipped and does not need unpacking. I am pretty sure that there will be only one file too. I will try downloading later today to see if I am correct.

Sorry, I was wrong. I just tried downloading the firmware for the 16-55. It is zipped and the instruction is to unzip it. Once this is done there is a folder with the two files inside. The question is should you put the folder on the card or should you open the folder and just copy the two files on? The Fuji instructions do not help, so I guess try both. As the instructions on the Fuji download site does not mention opening the folder up, I would try putting the intact folder on first. unfortunately I don't have the 16-55, so I can't try it out.

I am extremely grateful for your help and suggestions. Last night I tried two more times.  On the first try, I substituted a second UHS-1 card, went through the steps - NO LUCK.

On the second try, I substituted a brand-new UHS-II card (Sony TOUGH-G series SDXC UHS-II Card 128GB) AND IT WORKED!!!!!

So, now, my X-T5 is fully updated to the latest firmware.

Thanks so much!

      Issue with X-T5 White Balance

      By Blue Zurich · Posted

      It is/was not what I was used to (5D3, R6) in terms of color and WB. Using Kelvin manually is just like another top dial. Something to do to get it right in camera.

      Cheap lens to start

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think there are Fuji "FX" lenses or mounts, it's "XF". If I had your camera I would buy any XF or XC lens and expect it to work. I do have an X-T30 ii, pretty similar. I have lots of XF lenses. XC lenses are made by Fuji and are cheaper, if it's cheap you want.  I wanted a lens with very few elements or element groups, and bought a Pergear lens for about $59 new. It only has 4 elements in 3 groups, IIRC. I also plan to use it if I ever think I might ruin the lens, like shooting something dangerous.

      Bad copy of 33mm?

      By Timpa · Posted

      Please help me before I send it back. Do I have a bad copy of Fujinon 33mm f1.4? I find it really soft off center (not even corner). See print screens. I focused on the same spot, just moved focus point. I get same result over and over again. (EDIT: After more testing I find that I can get sharper results off center but it's very inconsistent and not at all reliable. Focusing issues? It's not the camera, Ive have tried it on 3 different cameras)

      X-S20 can't be turned on while indicator lamp is blinking

      By fujifilm kaze · Posted

      Hi everyone. I'm new here. I recently bought an X-S20. It's really a decent camera but i encounteted something odd. I linked my X-S20 with my phone via wifi using XApp. I enabled Auto Image Transfer Order so that images in X-S20 will be sent automatically to my phone whenever Xapp is activated. When the camera is switched off while there are images queuing to be sent, the indicator lamp on the camera blinks green and orange. I know it is normal since it is only completely turned off until all images are sent to the phone. But sometimes the image transfer is discontinued due to connection problem or else. The problem is, after being disconnected, the camera seems not to identify the disconnection and keeps on blinking green and orange. If i switch the camera power button to ON, the camera will not show any response (but continues blinking). The only way to fix this problem is to take the battery out and put it bavk again. Did anyone also encounter this problem? I would like to know how to fix it.
