Slow Photo Playback

[sarahpuleo]

I received my X-T2 a few weeks ago and have noticed that playback is slow and can take 10 seconds for the image to show up on the display. I tried putting the camera in boost mode and that didn't show any improvement. My batteries are full and my memory card is empty. I have not yet updated the firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If your memory card is empty, then why would you expect to see any images in playback mode?

 

What make/model of card are you using? Fuji cameras are very picky about sdcards. It may be that a different brand/model of card would work better for you.

Certainly sounds odd.  But as mentioned above, memory cards can have a large impact on performance.  I use 90mbit/sec cards and have found the performance to be very good.  Zero lag in shooting burst, 4K and playback.

 

I'd recommend updating the firmware if it is out-of-date.

 

Also, format the memory cards in the camera, not on a computer.

 

Let us know if these suggestions help.

It sounds like a slow memory card. I have a few slow ones I use in my X100T and when I change it for a faster one it makes a huge difference. It really behaves just like you describe with the slower cards. I use them in the X100T because it isn't meant for taking a lot of images quickly so I don't notice it as much.
