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.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      Does it use wi-fi when you are not specifically attempting to transfer files?

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By Rupal · Posted

      Hello dear Fujifolks - I come from 54 years of shooting Nikon cameras, and this is my first Fujifilm experience as I've just sold my Nikon D7200 in exchange for a tiny but endearing X-T20. Very pleased with it as it's so lightweight, but very well built. But takes some getting used to the menus and settings after Nikon's DSLR functional simplicity ! I'm working on it though and slowly coming to terms with the new system. My question for now is this: is there any way to turn OFF the wifi antenna in the camera ? I'm particularly wifi signal sensitive and have no intention of using that function as I do all my editing and printing on my PC. I've checked the wifi menu options but cannot find a simple wifi ON-OFF selector. Thanks for your help and I'll be back with more Q's when needed. Blessings to you all...

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04
