Hi

bought my xt2 in oct 2016. Have been using it everyday quite a lot for last 2 months.

Here is what I observed:

 

1: Camera makes files itself: black,in series of up to 50 files from time to time.

2: in Bulb mode after 5 minutes exposure camera takes ages ie 25 minutes to process, wont stop processing has to take off bateries to stop processing.

3: Sometimes it wont turn on (batteries ok, with battery grip)

 

anyone having such problems?

 

beside this - great camera - even though definately not worth the price tag diffrence from xt1.

Try a new card.

 

Sounds like the camera is gagging on the card(s).

 

The camera hates to turn off until it's done writing to the card (to prevent loss of the image).

 

If the camera is unable to write it won't shut off.

 

Try a new card (fastest) to exclude that as the culprit.

Thanks for suggestions - but no. Tried 3 SunDisc cards - apart from that - camera is working weird - suspended somehow - just because I switch it off - after lets say 20 minutes - thats when it writes it's stuff to the card - and in a matter of 2-5 seconds - after writing its turned off. 

Meaning: its a bug - that suspends camera after long exposure not letting it finish the process.

Black frames sounds like the camera was accidentally on - say in your camera bag, for example. I have had that happen with x100f & xpro2 and each time was due to the way I placed it in the camera bag with the strap around the lens.

 

Bulb issue - are you using a cable release to open and close the shutter? Would be helpful to describe more detail of how the camera is set up , tripod, cable, etc.

Hi. Have not posted in this thread for a while.

I returned my camera on a warranty for check-up.

Unfortunatelly - they didn't  find any problems - which means - I still have to follow my routine - and occasionally turn the camera on couple of times after switching batteries.

Lately - camera stopped responding at all - had to take off batteries to restart.

Thank you for your comments.

Thanks

 

2.Off.

3.On/Off via switch. Sometimes just dont work. Have to turn on twice.

 

Will do the firmware update and will see if any better.

If I turn the cam off and immediately on again, that does not work.

After switching to "off", the cam needs some time and does not like to be disturbed... :P

Wait 2 seconds, then switch to "on".

Please get the latest firmware 4.00 as on 2018-05-10 :D

I have the same issue.  One month old camera.  X-T2s have an electrical issue and I'm surprised Fuji hasn't found this and fixed it.  Some of them simply seize up...it just happens.   It's not overheating, grips, faulty SD cards, or batteries...it's just a reliability or quality control issue and once the store's return period expires you have to rely on the warranty repair and invariably Fuji will not be able to duplicate the error.  This is my conclusion after spending hours of researching this online this evening.  If you are one of the unlucky owners you just have to deal with the gremlins.  It's very unfortunate and some of us have this happen on paid shoots when we need these cameras to power up and function properly.  With so many people experiencing these freezes they really should address it.  I love Fuji and for now will stick with it but I would not recommend these cameras yet for paid professional work.  They might get there but still not ready for prime time I'm afraid.   The small form factor, excellent user interface and advantages of EVF can't compensate for a dead camera, puzzled photographer and a frustrated client.

      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.
