X-Pro3 What am I missing?


Recommended Posts

I've had an enjoyed a X100s for years. I've had no problems with it.

I just got an X-Pro3 (brand new), and cannot find any way to select an ISO that actually selects that ISO. The camera seems perpetually stuck in AUTO ISO. I can choose any of the three AUTO ISO settings, and set the parameters therein, but can't turn AUTO ISO off.

The camer also seems to be perpetually stuck in one mode or another. I can switch from P to A, but cannot get the camera into M mode, even though I've selected Shutter Speed, Aperture and ISO on the appropriate dials. 

I've read the manual and followed the steps therein to try to get into manual mode, but it just doesn't work.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, was on the phone with Fujifilm tech support and the camera is defective and has been sent back to the vendor.

I had a similar issue until I realised there is the ISO dial when you lift the shutter speed dial. It had to be set to C so I could control it with the Q menu or custom function dial. It now works as expected for me.

    • Hopefully these will help some. For quite a while now Apple has put stuff into their operating system so that you cannot yourself open the connected camera’s card and see the images, you have to use their or third party software to do that.
    • Thanks for the instructions:  I was doing up to 3 successfully but can't wait to get home and try  4 and 5 and report back. Cheers, John
    • Okay, just for completeness sake: 1.     The camera’s menu connection setting is USB CARD READER. 2.    The computer is turned on, booted and nicely operational. 3..    With the camera turned off, connect the camera to the computer using a known-to-be-good USB C data plus power cable (a data only cable should work as well, a power only cable will not work). 3.   The camera’s charging light may turn on. Turn the camera on. The back screen probably will show the USB symbol as well as the USB letters. 4.    Start up the Image Capture app and see if the camera’s name appears in the devices list. 5.    In the Apple menu, select ‘About This Mac’, click on the ‘More Info…’ button, and on the right hand side of the window that opens, at its bottom is a button called ‘System Report…’, click on it. A new window should open, the left hand side has collapsible dropdown listings, the first is called “Hardware’, within it is the USB listing, select that. The right side pane should give you listings of all the USB devices connected at that moment, one of them should say something like USB PTP Camera. Does either 4. or 5. work?
    • Thanks, Yes I knew about the USB issue in newer Macs and macOS but that is why I tested it with High Sierra as well. Also the fact that every other camera easily connects via USB direct with the camera - definitely points out the fact that it is a FUJI specific problem.  Furthermore - I remember being able to direct connect early last year. I rarely take the Cards OUT of the camera  these days. The weird thing is I can connect my iPhone 15 via USB-C to 100s and pull files directly - puzzling. Problem is FUJI rarely listens to anyone.    
    • Hi all, I notice that there are some focusing sound on my XF33 despite it being said as completely silent in many review. The focusing sound is kind of like stepping motor sound, and it only appears when I’m shooting photo. I try shooting near and far away and there is sound. However, it is completely silence when I shoot videos. Is it normal or do I need to change some of my setting? Or am I just getting a not too good copy haha. please assist me with the matter guys! Thanks!
