I was using a big stopper the other day on my X-T2 and using the B setting, and I must have pressed something and it got stuck on a 30 second fixed exposure time instead of me being able to choose how long the shutter was open. Whilst I managed to switch that off somehow after a lot of fiddling, it might happen again and I am due on a long exposure course and I dont want to be embarrassed with the tutor. How is this switched on and how do I switch it off if it happens again?

That happens if you set your aperture to Automatic (A) with shutter speed set to Bulb (B ). In order to compute the aperture, the camera has to know the shutter speed (and ISO). So it arbitrarily picks 30 seconds for the shutter speed.

 

See the gray box at the bottom of page 65 of the manual (the page about B mode).

Thanks Doug that answers it in one, I must have flicked the aperture setting to A accidentally as I had taken several long exposures before this happened. Do you happen to know why it takes about 15 seconds for the camera to store an image taken on the B setting, I wouldnt have thought that it was a larger image file?

      Hello, If you look in the top right-hand corner of each posting, there should be three dots in a row, like this —>  …  <—, click on them and after a moment or twelve, a small menu should drop down from the dots, the last entry in the menu is ‘Edit’. Choose that and after a moment or three you should be in edit mode for that entry. Note: Only you can edit your entries.

      Jerry I found out it's a Cherry Blossom but I can't figure out how to edit it.

      What is most ironic about this is that there must be many of us here that would be interested in significant ads about the products we're discussing. I would be. I normally hate ads, but relevant ones here would actually be somewhat welcome. What are the recent new Fuji product announcements? Is anybody offering a sale? How about 3rd party products? I mean, I actually want to spend money, more or less.

      CANNOT BACKUP OR RESTORE X-T4 SETTINGS WITH FUJI X ACQUIRE

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think I have your answer, but it's worth trying. It's been a few days, are you still struggling with this? I've used Acquire (on an iMac) and an X-T4 (also an X-T5 and an X-T30 ii) and it worked, at least as far as backing up. No error messages, and a computer file with stuff in it. I understand you get an error message when you attempt to restore the camera from a backup, but, does it look to you like the backup phase is working? I mean, do you get a saved file and no error messages? Do you have any other Fuji cameras, and does it work for them? I have had problems getting Acquire to detect the camera. I did all manner of playing around with starting the software, plugging in the camera, and powering the camera on, in various orders (including what the instructions say). I always got it to work eventually, but it took lots of playing some times. Lately it fires right up. Somebody here commented on this difficulty and the security obstacles in the computer. Are you getting a connection easily, or after trying things, or not at all? Does Acquire show your camera model and the few settings it displays correctly?
