Loosing almost all the settings

Hey everyone!

I’m facing a frustrating problem with my camera, and I’m hoping you can help me out! Every time I turn my camera off and on again, my settings disappear. It's really irritating because I want to have everything in place to take photos quickly and efficiently. However, there’s a silver lining: the date and the connection to my iPhone remain intact – so is there something working correctly?

I’ve considered several possible reasons for this issue. Maybe the camera is set to factory settings and doesn’t save user settings? Or could it be a battery or power problem that prevents it from remembering my changes? It might also be a good idea to reset the camera to factory settings to see if that helps.

But hey, I’d love to hear from you! Has anyone experienced similar issues? What solutions have you found that could help? Are there specific settings I should pay attention to, or perhaps a firmware update that could resolve the situation?

Let’s share our experiences and come up with potential solutions! I look forward to hearing from you and hope we can find a solution together. Thanks in advance for your help!

Happy shooting!

There is an internal capacitor that supplies enough charge to keep the settings when you turn off the camera.

It sounds as though this needs repairing.

(I'm assuming you keep a fully charged battery in the camera? The capacitor can lose power if the camera is left for long periods without the main battery being charged)

The capacitor shouldn‘t ve relevant as long as a charged battery is loaded. I‘m afraid this is a different problem.

Are you sure? Does the main battery prevent the loss of settings if there is a defective capacitor and the camera is turned off?

taking the risk of asking the most stupid question: have you chosen "disable" in the IQ menu, page 3/3 auto update custom settings? 

If it's set to disable and you switch off your camera, all your changes of settings will not be saved.

What I usually do: set this point to enable, change the settings, switch the camera off, switch the camera back on. Then change it to disable.

Now all your settings are safely stored!

      Fujinon Lens database

      By Sany · Posted

      Hi Members Do we have a database of fuji lenses and their reviews somewhere in this forum? I remember from my pentax days long ago on the pentaxforum, there is a lens database where it holds the specs, reviews and sample photos and a rating scale on several factors like sharpness, bokeh etc., connected to that particular lens. So was curious to see if something in that line exists. Another - can anyone share a link to comparison between XF 23mm f2 and XF 27mm f2.8 if you have come across on something like that.

      X-T4 Exposure spikes during interval timer

      By madnic · Posted

      I've had some... not success but definitely a slight improvement playing with different metering modes. Changing the ISO range had no effect. Not sure what you're suggesting with the bulb setting and external timer. That's just going to be fixed exposure length of what 1/2 second? I've got a similar timer that I've used with a Sony in the past and it doesn't allow for exposure ramping. I realise there are timers that do, but even then exposure ramping isn't exactly what you need for HG because it's not a linear transition over time.

      Adapting telescope (2" focuser) to Fuji X?

      The M48 to X-Mount adapter with lens cap. The focuser. Loosen the three (screws / bolts) and remove the inner part. Inner part removed and some M48 extension tubes are added to the adapter. Just use long enough extensions for the focuser to hold onto the combination but not so long that when you put them into the focuser, it hits the secondary mirror. That will cause a lot of bad juju. (The small mirror at the top of your Newtonian is called the secondary). Adapter combination attached to my trusty X-T10. Slide the tube into the focuser, tighten the (screws / bolts) and you are good to go.

      Adapting telescope (2" focuser) to Fuji X?

      By jerryy · Posted

      The shorter M48 to X-mount adapters are usually the ones that work. The trick with Newtonians is that the focus spot is almost inside the focuser. Edit: I am updating this portion, the older stuff that was here is still valid, but 'a picture and a thousand words and all of that'. If you look at the focuser closely, you see it has the outer part and the inner part sitting inside. Loosen the screws on the outer part, take the inner part out of the focuser and slide in the adapter with the camera attached. Tighten the screws and adjust the focuser as needed. The overall “trick” is to find the scope specs listing for what is called back focus (for many refractor scopes it will be 55mm, but for reflector scopes it will be very different depending on what kind of scope it is, rc scopes have very different back focus distances than do Newtonians than do …) Okay, Fujifilm X-mount cameras have what is called the flange distance (the distance from the mount spot to the sensor in the body) of 17.7mm. If your scope or accessory has a back focus of 55mm, subtract 17.7 from 55 to get 37.3mm that you need extension tubes to cover. Most Newtonians have very short back focus distances, so you almost need to have the camera inside the focuser. Other bodies, Canon, Sony, Nikon, etc. with deeper flange distances are more troublesome when trying to use them with standard Newtonian scopes. Edit: It occurs to me that I could hopefully make this a bit clearer by demonstrating with one of my scopes, so in a bit, I will post that and not rely on looking at other sites for visuals. I will try to do so quickly and come back and edit this posting. HTH.
