Fuji X100 VI OWNERS ( Camera noise ! + JPEGS )

Please help me

Camera noise : -

With IBIS turned ON , I can still hear a low volume noise only when moving the camera from side to side. It's not the autofocus. It almost sounds as though it's coming from the vicinity of the lens - I can only hear the noise if the camera is relatively close to my ear - Perhaps the aperture blades moving !? Does your camera make the same noise ?

Does this happen with your X100 VI ?

Please advise - I would appreciate it lots

That camera is so new, that, right now, there are probably not a lot of members that have one yet.

As far as IBIS goes, noisy sounds is commonly reported in cameras from every manufacturer that includes it in the bodies. Usually it turns out that unless you are hearing the noise followed by dust and camera bits falling out of the body, there is nothing to worry about, some quiet noise is normal.

Mine makes a very low hum, not sure that's what you're referring to. I'm more interested in the sharp electronic buzz at startup. It makes an audible "bzz" when turned on or turned off. The X100F also was noisy at startup, but didn't sound like this.

Don't have the x100vi, but do have the x-h1and have had the x100s. Ibis noise on the x-h1 sounds more like a laptop fan, aperture blade noise on the x100s is a very soft clicking.

For me, the x100s' aperture blade clicking was so soft that it didn't bother me. The x-h1's ibis noise is loud enough that it requires an external mike when taking video. Was majorly annoyed that reviewers seem to have missed such a major design flaw. On the x-h1 the system is also active (to keep the sensor in its position) when disabled, proving that the often espoused claim that including ibis has no downsides for those who don't want it "because it can be turned off" is a load of bollocks.

I got my x100vi yesterday and i have this sound when i turn it on: https://streamable.com/w0xyem (old video from x100v not mine, but same sound) i'm sure the sound started a few hours after initial setup and taking some pictures... i don't find it normal, but enough people in forums say it is, will i have to return the camera? 🤔

How can you be so sure? Mine does the same sound, I thought it was normal. Although I also own an x-t5 and it doesn't make that noise.

Listening very carefully I noticed that the sound comes from the fixed lens.

None of my other lenses does that sound, so it is a shame...

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.

      Sigma 500mm F4 + XH2S?

      By Stogursey · Posted

      I think my Fuji 150-600 F8 is a brilliant wildlife lens in terms of sharpness, portability and value but the small aperture does cause issues at the start and end of the day - even pushing the ISO as far as I dare, I can see shutter speed down to 1/25s - stabilisation isn't an issue but asking a deer to stand still for that is too much! In the same situation, an F4 would give 1/100s so the difference to the success rate would be phenomenal... and that's without the other improvements like shallower depth of field. I also find that the Fuji's subject detect AF gets pretty iffy in low light - I keep updating to the latest firmware but it doesn't seem to get any better. I was originally looking at the Nikon 500mm F4 E but good examples secondhand are still reasonably expensive but like-for-like Sigma lenses are around half the price. Reviews I have read suggest that they are as good optically, AF performance and IS-wise but you gain a few hundred grams of weight (but less than the older Nikon model). For a couple of grand, I can live with that. Does anyone have any experience mounting one on an XH2S? What about with the 1.4 teleconverter? It feels like that is pushing it anyway - hefty lens + TC + Fringer all sounds a bit...wobbly? It is on the Fringer approved list but I am wary about AF speed in particular. I had also considered looking for a used Nikon 400mm F2.8, which would be even faster (and heavier) and could couple with a TC to give 560mm F4 but again, it is that lens+TC+Fringer combination that worries me as being just too many links in the chain. Of course, what I really want is a native Fuji prime but that doesn't seem to be on the horizon - and if you look at what Nikon and Sony are doing, if Fuji do ever bring out a 500mm prime, it will probably be a small, light and cheapish F5.6, which is only 2/3 stop better than my zoom at the same focal length. Any thoughts anyone?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Greybeard · Posted

      The Amazon link is an annoying feature of this forum - its automatic and is applied to every post for advertising purposes. My question was - how do you know the camera wi-fi is on and requires turning off? I would have thought this would just use up the battery for no purpose if you aren't specifically using a function that requires wi-fi.

      I've made a point to push Angelbird memory products as they are the best performance cards you can get, The sustained write speed is important.
