Hi,

 

I'm planning to upgrade my X-T1 for a X-T2 in next days, and I'm wondering if I should also replace my extra battery for the new 's' model.

 

Do you know if the USB charging from the camera would work, or if it could impact something else?

 

Thanks

I'm no expert, but my strong advice from reading these forums and personal experience is that the X-T2 is kind of a battery pig.

 

Comparatively speaking, USB plug-ins are for mobile phones. And you want two of the best batteries available for your X-T2, the one in the camera and the other fully charged one in your pocket or whatever as backup.

Hi, I also upgraded from a X-T1 to X-T2 and use the X-T1 as second body. I also use the X100f. So I'm using older Fuji batteries, third party batteries (older ones) as well as the new s batteries. All of them work fine in every camera. And all of them are recharchable in camera by usb as well. So, no worries. Does this answer your question?

I've had a few issues with the third party batteries in my X-T2/X-Pro2. I ended up buying new S batteries for spares and they work great. I have a few of the original, but have just use them for the X-Pro2 mostly. The few ocassions where I used them in the X-T2, I've not noticed any issues. It sort of seemed like it may have died quicker, but I haven't used them enough to know for sure.

      100S Long Write Times

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      so if i'm shooting uncompressed 16-bit RAW files it takes a significant amount of time to write to card. Got the high end UHS II cards, and this does not happen with burst shooting, only single frame shots. what setting am i missing that causes this to happen?

      X-T4 accept external timecode?

      By Chas · Posted

      The Tentacle Sync Timecode tool is the one I tried. I couldn't get it to work. But that is probably my fault, not the software. I seemed to get a file, but I couldn't turn it into anything meaningful.

      GFX 100s not connecting to Mac via USB-C

      By jerryy · Posted

      I am glad to read you are able to get this up and running. Pretty much as long as you connect the camera and turn it on and wait a few moments for the computer to register the connection, you can then use Image Capture (which actually is a very decent program with a lot of options for transferring images from cameras to the computer) or Lightroom or other programs to move the images to your library. There are some drawbacks; connecting to the computer while it is in sleep mode will waste your time, the connection will not get recognized— you will have to unplug the camera, wake the computer and start over. Trying to connect while the screen saver is running may work, it may not, often not. If the computer goes into screen saver mode while the camera is connected and sitting idle, it usually stays connected when coming back out of screen saver, but if the computer mputer goes into sleep mode, the connection gets dropped and you have to unplug it and start over. I suggested having the camera turned off while connecting, this is to lower the possibility of static electricity discharges frying either the camera or the computer or both. A lot of times you can connect while the camera is turned on, but not always, sometimes you have to unplug, turn it off, reconnect and turn it back on. A lot of this comes from Apple’s approaches towards keeping USB devices from hijacking your computer, some is just hubris and some is from the vagaries of chance. p.s. Your laptop should be able to connect to the camera.
