Since upgrading to firmware version 3.10 my X-Pro 2 developed the cursed turn off camera turn back on issue. After searching, have tried resetting the various options allowed under the wrench tab in menu, removing batteries, with no success. 

 

The issue arises whether using my 10-24 or my 16, 35 and 56mm primes and in S,C and M modes and in single shot or lo/hi speed shooting drive modes.   

 

The camera successfully upgraded firmware to 3.11 and for one day this appeared to have fixed the problem but now it is back. The camera will take one image and error appears after taking  a second image. The first image writes to the card but not the second. 

 

Anyone else have a similar phenomenon? 

 

Guessing my favourite camera is headed back to Fuji.

I used to have this problem with the borrowed 27. Turned out the culprit was the step-up ring attached on the lens. At first it worked okay for many shots then suddenly had that same error message. I was afraid that the camera had problem. After some browsing one post mentioned about possible use of step-up ring and/or filter. Once I took that off, no more problem.

I just sent one of my three lenses to Fuji repair for that. I called the 800 number then had to wait 5-6 minutes till I talked to a repair rep. Probably SOP. Anyway he commented that that error meant that the focusing motor was not operating properly. I am just in the one year warranty period on all my Fuji so hopefully they'll fix it NC, we shall see.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
