Bit of a nightmare recently X-H1

Hi, I had a couple of things go wrong. Normally I buy cheap cards, but as I was having buffering issues at my kid's sport's day, I decided to buy a SanDisc Extreme Pro micro Sd card. On holiday it crashed with an initialization error. I had to use the recovery software which only recovered the jpeg files. Thinking it was bad luck I reformatted it again and the same thing happened. This time I had already copied all the important photos to my laptop first. Tried a recovery, this time and only recovered a video file.

I moved to a cheap card for the rest of the holiay and I had another initialization error on it. I turend it off and on and popped the card and it worked fine, no loss of photos no problems.

I have never had this happen before. All the firmware is up to date on camera and lens. Anyone got any insight into what the problem might be?

I have bought two new cards 256gb Samsung Pro and a Lexar silver pro. Is there any way I can get both cards to write JPEG and Raw on both cards or does it have to be jpeg on one and raw on the other.

Many thanks

It's probably best not to use Mico sd cards. The adapter is an extra part that can fail/cause problems. I know they cost a bit more, but full size SD cards, in general, work better, are more reliable, and give better read/write speeds. Again, don't get cheap cards - the X-H1 has two uhs ii compatible card slots. Use good uhs ii cards (v60 is fine) and you wont regret it.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.

      Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
