I loaded X100F firmware 1.01 to solve my problem when using the Fuji remote app which caused the ISO setting to freeze.  The update only makes matters worse, now I am unable to use the Command dial to change the ISO setting at all.  When Command is selected for "Spanner"-..."ISO Dial Setting (A)", not only does the Command dial do nothing but also I am unable to change the maximum sensitivity of ISO 1, 2, and 3 settings.  This can only be done when AUTO is selected for the Command dial.  Fuji, you need to give us an update to fix 1.01.  Provided that one does not use the App, the X100F worked just fine on firmware 1.00.

Here's another bug: switch to manual focus and use the optical viewfinder. Look through the viewfinder and repeatedly half-press the shutter. On my x100f, and on others, the focus indicator (on the scale at the bottom of the frame) shifts towards infinity with each half-press. The focus point isn't changing, but the indicator is.

on mine (firmware 1.01) there is only a very very limited shift at each half-press ; I could not see a difference in behaviour depending on the different assistance modes.

Yeah from what I'm reading the problem manifests in different ways for different people, and seems also to depend on other factors (one guy says he sees it only when the scene is bright).

Ummm.... I updated my firmware and have had no problems. I am really enjoying my X100F, as well as my other Fuji cameras.

 

That has been my experience. I have used the X100F extensively on the street and it works like charm and I do appreciate the firmware upgrade.

 

Cheers, Terry

I recently got an X100F with the version 1.0 firmware, and set it up for the way I shoot street photographs: auto ISO; shutter 1/250s; aperture f/8; and manual focus distance set to hyperfocal distance - about 11feet (approx 3.4m).

 

Using the OVF, the focus distance marker nudged upwards every time I either pressed or half-pressed the shutter release. (This is on MANUAL focus - so pressing the shutter release should not change the focus distance at all.) This only happened with the OVF: the focus distance indicator on the EVF and LCD stayed in the chosen position.

 

I upgraded to latest firmware, and the problem is now even worse - in about five presses the distance indicator is nearly up to 15feet (about 4.5m)

Hi guys

This issue happens only when using the OVF. Is that what you're doing when you see no issue?

 No problem with mine either - using OVF and have tried various different permutations of settings. So it seems the fault isn't universal. (I updated the firmware as soon as I got the camera a few weeks ago, so not sure whether it had the fault with the original firmware.)

Thanks for this. I think you're right that this problem is far from universal, which makes you wonder what the parameters are. (Components from a particular batch? Assembly in a particular plant?)

 

But I understand from Fuji Tech Support that the company is aware of the issue, and the Japanese engineers are working on a firmware fix. Let's hope Fuji gets the firmware update 1.02 out soon!

I tried it with the OVF and it seems to be fine - and I really tried to make it fail. That said I asked around and I have a couple of local friends who shoot with the X100F and they are saying the firmware update DID NOT fix the problem of the shifting focus point in manual focus with the EVF/OVF. We are going to compare all of our X100F settings over coffee - there might be something else factoring in.

 

Cheers, Terry

The same problem is happening with the X-Pro2, using the OVF - see the X-Pro2 forum, where there's quite a long thread on the matter. (Again, I'm lucky not to be affected, but it's clear that many X-Pro2 users are.) This should increase the sense of urgency for Fuji to find a fix.

Thanks for the info, Terry. I'd be interested to hear if you identify other factors.

Thanks for this - I'll go and have a look.

      X100V - How to retain menu position?

      By LauzunLee · Posted

      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.

      Photos on Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB vs SE 512GB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      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

      Charing battery inside the X-H2 over USB

      By Tomek666 · Posted

      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.

      How to turn OFF the wifi antenna

      By jerryy · Posted

      It is really easy to find out if the wifi is on. Your computer or tablet or cell phone will have a network settings dealing with wifi, bluetooth, ethernet or “other”. Open that up and go into the section for wifi, and take note of which networks are listed. Turn on the camera and keep watching the list of networks. If your camera’s wifi is turned on, a new network should suddenly show up in your computer/tablet/phone’s network listings. Now go into the camera’s menus and start a wireless connection (the x-app or camera remote app can help you with this). You should see a network show up now. It is not hidden because it has to be visible so that your computer/tablet/phone can join the camera’s network to transfer images. Turn the camera off and that network should disappear. Turn the camera back on and see what happens.
