I've tried both of my X Pro2s' with the Fujifilm remote app and can't get either of them to work correctly. I've downloaded the app on my iPad 4 and iPhone 5c and get the same issue on both devices.

The camera connects as it should do and allows me to take one picture. The phone/iPad then displays 'Processing' and locks up. The app will allow the transfer of images already on the camera SD cards and will allow video to be recorded but will take no more than one still image. I've tried all combinations of JPEG size and memory card slots, both slots set to JPEG and have removed a reinstalled the app on both devices but no joy. The app works perfectly with my X30. Any ideas on what else I can try?

I have the same issue. Sent Xpro 2 back twice to Fuji Australia for repairs and each time it came back with the same issue. Processing OK! error. Discussed this with Fuji reps, redid settings, swapped out cards, batteries, lens etc. Tried with different devices. Tried with other people's devices. Same issue. Finally the store that I purchased it from replaced the camera. Worked great. Then I updated the firmware from 1.01 to 1.02 and bingo the same Processing Ok error occurred. Upgraded to 2.01, same issue. Fuji seems to think it only applies to me, but hey, I now have gone through 2 Xpro 2 cameras and tried it on at least a dozen devices so I am sure its not me. I am sure its something from 1.01 to 1.02 that is causing the issue. I have been toing and froing with Fuji now for 4 months. All the Fuji Love, nearly gone. Love the camera but this issue is needling me in the back of my mind and I find that I am picking up my Nikon D610 more and more these days. In between eye-fi cards, the WU-1b and qDSLRDashboard app I can do pretty much what I want. (and what I want to do with the Xpro 2, but can't at the moment). I am hoping for a firmware fix one day.

It works! I had the Perth Fuji guy come and visit me and together we went side by side to see what the difference was between his working Xpro2 and my "processing ok" Xpro2. A bit of this and a bit of that and finally the penny dropped! The camera rear screen MUST be in LCD (live view mode), not in the info screen that I always use. Just by habit, I have always placed the rear screen into info mode, even after countless camera resets. But today.. So problem solved - thank you Fuji. So,

1. Put the rear screen into LCD mode

2. Create the connection with your device

3. Camera Remote - shoot away!

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
