A chosen ISO setting does not keep after shutting down X-T50

I guess but I'm not definitely sure if this happened after the latest firmware update, or irrespective of that. Anyway, as the manual says the chosen ISO setting should stay chosen, not resetting, after the camera is shut down. AND this was the case previously. But now it isn't. So, every time I shut the camera the ISO setting turns back to the default value I've chosen, for example 500 ASA even though it was something else when I took photos. I don't find a way to fix this. Hints?

I reply to myself, as - after searching and experimenting this and that during several days - I found today the reason to my problem... Should I tell that, as I haven't got any comments from you, the community? Ok, jokes apart. THE point is that the option Auto update custom settings under Image quality settings needs to be ENABLED! Well, as the manual is so obscure, not specific, with too short explanations and too general, I needed some 1-2 weeks (of course not day and night ;) to find the solution. Anyway, now my X-T50's ISO setting holds, to that I set it.

By the way, the camera with the quality of the pictures, is great!!!! I love X-T50 after my reliable Nikon.

Well, one more thing, I would like this working: I transfer pictures to my Mac by using the app Photo transfer by wire because it is hazardous to take the memory card from the camera and put it to my MacBookPro because after Mac's reading the X-T50 doesn't recognise it any more!! Nothing but formatting the card *in my Nikon* helps, to get X-T50 to work with the card. So are there for this second issue any solutions??

It seems good you were able to find an answer to your question shortly after posing it.

As to your remaining question, can you give some more details? Because what you are describing is very unusual. Which card reader were you using to move the images to your computer? Were you double clicking the card’s disk image to open it and then using the finder to select all of the images you wanted to move, then dragging them over to a folder on your Mac? Did you use the eject command before removing the card from the card reader?

There are a couple of things to also try. Take a few new images using a freshly formatted card, put the card in the reader. Open the app Image Capture and use it to move the photos. Use the eject command before removing the card and see it the card is still messed up.

If so, try again, but this time before putting the card in the reader, slide the write protect switch on the card to the protect spot. [The write protect switch is a small little tab on the side of the card.] Move the images, then use the eject command, remove the card, slide the write protect switch back to the unlock position and put it back in the camera.

Let us know how things go — uh yeah sometimes it can take a while to get an answer.

Yes the second question is unusual. I always put cards from my X-T5 and X100V into my Mac to transfer and have no issues when putting back into the camera.  I don’t ever delete or format the cards using my Mac. Once I’ve copied the photos to my Mac I use the camera to format the card. 

I’ve always heard that should format in camera to lower chance of issues and ensure file system is compatible with the specific camera.

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica).

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
