Submerging all my Fuji gear.

Not sure if this was an accident, serious issue, or a joke.  Did you accidentally drop it in a pool?  

 

However while shooting stock and personal work in the Outer Banks at the end of March my back pack FULL of spare camera, and ALL my lenses, batteries and memory cards was "washed/carried away" by an errant wave that was retreating back into the ocean while I was shooting and not paying attention.  Luckily, my daughter who was shooting with me snagged it with her tripod as it was going by her!!!  If not, the bag would have been totally swamped by the new waves coming on shore in the early morning dawn.  What a wet, and  sand covered mess though...  Nothing as nasty as wet sticky sand.

 

Thank goodness for the cheap Amazon bag (copy of a LowePro model), and the fact I had closed all the zippers on the bag. The only item that got a bit wet was the Zeiss 12mm 2.8 as the wave smacked that particular side of the bag where the lens was sitting.  All is well though...

So I've had enough of Fuji and decided to toss all my gear in a pool... YouTube video coming soon. I will post the link when the video is complete!

First you want to throw your gear from the roof, then smash it against the wall, and now drown it?

 

It looks to me like you are seeking attention in an unhealthy way. I am afraid we cannot help you.

 

Drown your gear, if you like, but above all, find someone who can really help you. I wish you all the best!!

    • Have you found a solution yet? I'm also facing the same situation as you
    • Is there a way to keep your menu selection on the last option you used? For example.  When I select MENU the cursor defaults to MY Menu.  I scroll up to IQ settings, make a change, and return to shooting. When I press the MENU button again the cursor is back to MY Menu.  I really want it to stay on the IQ setting I was last using (or any other Menu setting). It's a PITA to keep scrolling up and down, back to the previous setting.  (Note.  My Canon Menu retains the position of the last option I was using). Thanks in advance for any help.

    • Im not partal to any brad, just opted to try these based on apparent price / performance.  I'm always looking for best bang per buck, hence Fuji I guess - haha Reliabilty does not concern me, as I always shoot to two cards for pro work (and burst shooting is not a part of that). Made sense for me to get the cheapest / fastest CF cards for hobby shooting.     I just got a Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB cheep (as the back-up card).   As long as neither of these freeze the camera I hope its a cheep solution for my needs. (AB AV Pro SE 512Gb and Sabrent Rocket V60 512GB).  Half a gig of redunat storge for $200USD is something I can live with. (Especially considering I can bust the hell out of the Anglebird). Cheers, Tomek
    • Would using an external charger be of benefit to the batteries life? I appreace it can be faster, but I doin't mind pluging in the camera over USB to charge. Does charging via the camera do as good a job as lets say the fuji's own external charger? Does the camera stop charging once the battry is full and not over charge? I couldn't find these deatails in these forums or in the manual. Thank you!   Image below shot on X-T2 in a sunny studio.
