I'd shoot a call into Fuji tech support....that's odd it would do that. The lack of any info on the internet kind of indicates it's very uncommon. You might have a firmware issue with your printer?

 

I know not helpful advice but the lack of responses and or similar postings on the net means it might be a long wait to get it resolved via the forums.... I'd call Fuji or return the unit....

I'm still waiting for my X-T2 (first Fuji), and was thinking of getting an instax printer for my upcoming trip to Iceland. 

I suspect that the printer is reading the rotation flag incorrectly, and this only occurs with vertical photos? 

 

Have you tried taking a picture with the camera rotated the other direction, and if so, does it print correctly?

Just happen to wonder if anyone has taken undeveloped instax films through multiple X-ray machines at airports? Was it affected upon printing?

I'm also curious of this as I want to take some on vacation in a few months.

As I understand it the ISO of Instax film is 800....security  scanners are reputed to only be a problem with faster (ISO 3200) films....even then only when passed through multiple times.

 

Even if it did effect it, the effect would be "fogging" of the film, which at worst would only render the pure whites slightly less than pure....it's very unlikely you would notice it.

 

Todays scanners supposedly emit very low amounts of radiation as compared to the older x-ray machines one would encounter back in the days of film, and the advice back then was to avoid multiple passes through x-rays with sensitive film (iso 3200), and the problem was worse with older technology machines in third world countries.

 

I very much doubt you will have any issues, but you could always place the film it in your checked luggage if you are checking bags and avoid the X-rays...

I have heard that this is a terrible idea as the X-rays on the checked baggage are MUCH stronger than the X-rays for carry on baggage.

 

I accidentally put some Instax film through a checked baggage X-ray and it seemed to have little to no effect. YMMV

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
