Have you experienced this error?

 

I was shooting this morning, single shots and kept getting an error message saying Failed to Write to Card.

 

Those images were not saved to disk.

 

Any ideas?

Did you try formatting the card?

 

I usually go out take photos, get back to computer upload and then format the card. It is ready then to go next time.

 

If you do similar, and then got this issue, I would bin the card.

The only time I format a card is on first use, or after firmware updates, and always in the camera.

 

The rest of the time I move the photograph files from the card to my computer, either via a usb cable, or far more often by removing the card and placing it in a usb card reader.  Then the card is empty, and ready to go.  No need to format it .

I had a similar problem with my XT-20. I tried with 4 different cards and the problem still existed. I ended up sending the camera to service, where Fuji changed the main board.

I have tried that (in camera), so far so good.

That was unfortunate to have such an issue. I must have been lucky with cameras (says he touching wood) but I suppose it is good to know that when a problem persists of that type it could be what I would call a serious repair is needed.

The camera can only do a "Quick Format" - this means that it removes the directory and writes a new empty one - it does not delete anything or read the whole card . You can let the camera do the Quick Format so it matches Fuji's firmware 100%. But from time to time or when experiencing problems it is a good idea to have your computer do a complete format (slow) - this way it actually goes through and make sure that all the storage space is addressable.

INCORRECTO!  LOL.  Sorry. You "should" format the card in camera once you have the images on your machine, and are backed up.

Potentially this will eliminate or nip in the bud any potential errors lurking in a bad FAT area of the card that won't be noticeable until you get the error the OP got.

      LUT doesn't works on resolve

      By Don Barar · Posted

      Here is the solution to using the Eterna 55 file simulation LUTs in Davinci Resolve.   In general, do not use the FLog2C to film simulation LUTs as they are not supported by Davinci Resolve for two reasons: 1) Davinci Resolve does not support Fuji Gamut Color Space and 2) Davinci Resolve does not support FLog2C gamma.  Instead, use Flog2 which is supported by Davinci Resolve.  Here is an example.  Let's say that you want to use Classic Chrome simulation.  Do the following: Complete your color grade and use a CST to get to Rec 709. Add a node.  Use a CST to convert from Rec 709 to FLog2.  Output Color space is Rec 2020 and Outout Gamut is FLog2. Add a node.  Apply the FLog2 to Classic Chrome LUT Create a combination node from node in steps 2 and 3. Apply a Key to the combination node and adjust the Key Output Gain to get the amount of the combination node that you want applied. So that you do not have to do this over and over again, generate a LUT for the combination node.  Remember to turn off all other nodes before generating the LUT. Hope this helps others. Don

      Thanks for the insights. I think it's really hard to make a decision without having the two side by side!

      I don’t have the 23 f2 but I have read several times that it is considered a little soft at close distance, compared to the 23 f1.4 lenses. These will also focus at shorter distance from the subject, esp. the new one. So that might make a difference. The new 23 f1.4 LM WR  has better resolution, esp. in regard to the 40Mpix sensors, which you don’t have on the X-T2. What practical difference that makes for the value of the pictures one makes is disputable and subjective.  f1.4 will gather more light but with a smaller DOF, which may be desirable in some situations but not so in others, depends. If you like to shoot close ups, you will probably use higher f numbers to get a bigger DOF. Same for landscapes. If you are a bokeh fan, yes the f1.4 lens are better.  The older 23 f1.4 lens that you are considering is a very good and respected lens. The f1.4 vs f2 aperture per se is perhaps not so important. The 23 f2 is very small, light and practical and a great lens for travel and landscapes. So, go figure. I am afraid I just sent you further down the road to insanity !

      First post here but long time fuji shorter. I use the XT2 with the 23mm f2 / 35mm 1.4 / 16-80mm f4 I'm considering the 23mm f1.4 r (Non-WR) About me: - I shoot black and white only. - I like macro details to wide open landscapes and everything in-between. - I shoot mostly for art, intrigue and creativity of the image. My question - is the 23mm f1.4 going to offer me any meaningful difference over the f2 for the above scenarios Thanks and sorry for bringing it up again...
