Hi all,

Thank you in advance for any help. 

As the title suggests when connecting XH2 to MacBook Pro it doesn’t show in finder. This means I cannot copy and dump files or import directly to LR.

Strangely it does show in the Photos app where I am able to import the jpegs into my Photos gallery. 

I have seen other users reporting the same problem but not found any solutions - the threads go quiet. Does anyone know how to fix this? It’s surely not correct a £2k camera on a £4k laptop cannot directly connect as an external drive. 

I have hooked it up to my PC and it is recognised as an external drive. Leads me to think it’s a software setting I missing?

My workaround/alternative is to get a CFE to usbc adapter. I didn’t really want the extra cable to carry around and also I live in a pretty remote spot in Costa Rica - it will take a few weeks to get one to me. 

Also I think I could use the wireless transfer via an app but this seems pretty long?

Have tried various TB cables.

Specs if useful:

XH2 with latest firmware 

CFExpress (Wise advanced 1TB)

connection set to usb card transfer 

MacBook Pro 2023, M2 Max 2TB 64gb, latest Os.

MacOS Image Capture utility might be your answer.

Its a software thing - the camera doesn't appear as a remote drive but you can transfer images to the MacBook.

Thank you Greybeard. It appears it is indeed a known Mac problem that they haven’t fixed. Currently the only workable option I can find is to dump everything to an external ssd then import to LR from there. Not a big hassle but not ideal to be using a work around for such a basic operation.

Or just pull out the camera's memory card and use a card reader! I got a couple of  CFExpress Type B readers from Amazon for about $25 each. Just make sure that you use a fast (10Gbit/sec) USB-C cable.

      ISO and exposure dial’s misbehaving. Need help

      By Michaelb5 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I am new to the fujifilm system, and I just received my X100vi about 15 days ago, and yesterday I noticed that ISO and exposure dials are acting up. I spent hours watching YouTube videos and reading forms without finding any solutions. Using ChatGPT or Gemini also didn’t help. My issues are the following: If I want to set my ISO at a specific value then the camera LCD/EVF shows a totally different value. For example, I have shutter manual, aperture manual and ISO dial at 6400, the camera shows ISO at 4000, when I take pictures it will show ISO at 4000 and not 6400. When I try to choose another ISO value it will skip some of the available values that are shown on the dial. Another issue I am having is when my exposure dial is not set at specific value, then I cannot set ISO to Auto no matter what value I select on the dial. If I do select the different exposure compensation values, then I choose A for ISO, the camera will activate the front commend dial to manually change ISO values. To get in Auto ISO, the shutter speed cannot be set in auto and the ISO dial should be set at 125, when I turn the ISO wheel, it seems like the numbers are misaligned by one value, If I put the dial on A with shutter speed manual, then it will trigger the front commend dial. The other issue that I am having is when I have Aperture, shutter speed and ISO on manual, If I change the exposure dial compensation + or - , it actually changes the exposure of the picture as well as the ISO value, which as I understand, if Camera is in full manual, the exposure dial should do nothing. The last issue that I am having, if I do have ISO in manual at a set value, and adjust exposure compensation dial, it alters my ISO instead of my shutter speed or my aperture, even though ISO is in Manual and the other two dials are in Automatic. I am not really sure if all of this is by design and I am just not understanding how everything works together, but it seems really odd how everything changes. Resetting the camera settings didn’t help.

      Remote Release suddenly stopped working

      By FSND · Posted

      I also have the eaxct problem with my X-T5. The remote used to work, but not anymore. I also get the light coming on on the camera back, and autofocus will happen, but no shutter release. Since I use the 2 or 10 seconds timer more I don't know if a firmware update is the cause of this negative change. I actualley only use the wired jack-remote for action release on a tripod.  Did anybody find a cause, and even more assisting, a solution?

      OVF magnification

      By Rich Martin · Posted

      On my XPro 2 the rear command dial, when pressed, can cycle through 3 different magnification levels in the OVF.
