XM-5 randomly taking photos

Similar situation here. I bought this beautiful XM-5 just a few months ago from Amazon.fr , and recently started noticing camera making random shots without me knowing about it. I mostly do a street photography, shooting primarily in a burst mode and in a silent shutter mode, selecting best shots afterwards on my computer. So when I unload images from the card I see a handful shots which were not supposed to be there. I'm not getting any jerky or digitized screen though, but sometimes all of a sudden the screen freezes and I'm just either turn camera off/on or remove the battery and putting it back. Sometimes it's really getting annoying, and I don't know how to fix this behavior. Any ideas? Thank you!

Do you perhaps have the touch screen set to take a photo by tapping or whatever the action is?

Thanks for your question but no- I'm checking whether touch screen option didn't turn accidentally frequently because it happenned a couple of times before. Sometimes I assume those accidental shots might have something to do with overheat or smth. Anyway, it's annoying...

Pw-pix, thank you for your suggestion, however it might be too late for that, and I probably will have to live with that...I'm going to try some options though like updating OS, using a diffetent card or just shooting in slower/ diffefent modes. I might be abusing the camera too much with that 8 shots per sec. mode.

I'd definitely recommend a firmware update as a first step, and if that doesn't work, try a different memory card.

      Display ISO will be chosen when auto iso is set

      By Cronin · Posted

      Found the simple answer to my own question. Having assigned Auto ISO to the rear dial, I only have to push in the dial to make the Auto ISO options appear, then turn the dial to choose. Nice and fast.

      Hello All, I am returning to photography after a decades-long hiatus that was prompted by my loss of access to a darkroom. Digital rendered that excuse moot, so I now return with a recently purchased XT5. I am from the Hudson River Valley in New York where I have spent the past five decades engaged in environmental work, mostly on the Hudson. I teach at Pace University where I direct the Gale Epstein Center for Technology, Policy and the Environment. My project ahead is documenting the unseen Hudson, a combination of the obscure, under-appreciated, and invisible - a street-style approach to people, places and things that make the river what it is. There will be little landscape, if any. The "Mighty Hudson" is well-documented. If nothing else, it will be a mission-driven project to bring me back to photography while learning my camera. I look forward to everything this amazing site can teach me. Cronin

      Fuji X-T4 AF-S and-C

      By IMX · Posted

      Hi,   I would really appreciate if someone could answer this question. Is it possible to have the X-T4 shoot in AF-S for photo mode and AF-C in video mode while the front lever is left at AF-S?  If so, how would this be done or wher in the menu system would I set this up? This is similare to setting the apeture at f/2.8 for photo mode but fioming at f/4 in video which I already have setup. Thanks and kind regards

      According to the manual you can assign auto ISO to any one of the function buttons but I've never tried it. (It's not something I frequently change so all my function buttons do other things.)

      By Cronin · Posted

      Hello, I have a new xt5 and have enjoyed its setup, until now. I hope someone with patience can help me through my ISO dilemma. My question: I have assigned settings for Auto ISO 1,2 and 3.  Should I be able to select Auto ISO 1, 2, or 3 for a shot? If so, how?  Or is the camera supposed to. At present, my screen shows Auto ISO 3, and never changes. I assigned ISO to the rear dial to no effect. Of course, when I half depress the shutter button is see the actual ISO in real time, but the function of the Auto ISO and how to control it has me confused. Thanks for any help.
