New Member with a problem

Hi I'm an amateur enthusiast and have been using an X-E2 with 18-55mm R LM OIS lens for just over 2 years now and love it, I'm new to the forum and unfortunately begin with a problem. 

I'm always wary of software/firmware upgrades and have been happily using the camera on vers, 1.0 for the last 2 years. A couple of weeks ago I took the plunge & updated the firmware to 4.01 (also updated lens firmware to 3.21). As I was upgrading from 1.0 I also took the advice to do a shooting menu reset and set-up reset straight after the upgrade as recommended. Everything seemed OK until today when I connected the camera to my laptop using USB cable to download some images. The camera froze - LCD display, on/off switch everything! The only way to get the camera working again is to disconnect from USB cable, switch off and  remove/reinsert the battery. I've tried doing the resets again but the problem remains -  Can anyone please help?

Can’t help your specific problem. I am vever ever used a cable to download pictures in all my years of use of a digital camera.

 

Indeed, as Mirror Mirror says, why do you use a usb cable ( which could be broken by the way and a shortcut the reason of your problem), just take out the card and put it in the card reader it is also a lot quicker.

Hello Steve. What system do you use? Linux? Windows? I have the same camera updated to the latest software version but, like the fellows above, I always take the card out and plug it directly in the computer without going through usb cable. Maybe there's a problem between the software on the computer and the camera.

Fuji and your computer maker are at the mercy of the chip-makers. I spend enough time in the server room to know that compatibility is never 100% when it comes to USB.

 

Make sure you are plugged in to USB 2.0 as the USB chips were slower and more stable than the various USB 3 chips.

 

With the file size of the X-E2 you can get away with a USB 2.0 card reader as well and they are inexpensive because they are simple and probably a carbon copy of the chip makers reference design. The new P2/T2 outputs 50MB RAW files so there you want a USB 3 card reader if you have a choice and anything to plug it into.

 

I always bring a basic (slow) USB card reader when I travel.

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
