X-H1 annoying feature

An annoying feature of the new wonder machine is “Power Saving Mode” in that when using the LCD or EVF in normal mode after about 10-15 seconds of viewing but otherwise inactivity, the EVF and LCD go into power saving mode and the refresh rate is halved and the view becomes a bit jittery and jerky as the screens then struggle to keep the smoothness of the usual operation! Press a the shutter halfway or the back focus button and the smooth operation returns for a short while

 

Apparently this is a feature not a fault as Fuji UK support informed me! also this feature happens on the X-T2 as well, this phenomenon doesn’t happen in boost mode. Fuji UK promised to pass on my comments to Japan. I never noticed this on my X-T2!

 

Hopefully a firmware update will give the opportunity to switch this feature off.

According to Fuji UK support it is a power saving feature! It is I’m afraid disingenuous of Fuji to act as a big brother and not give me the opportunity to turn this feature off, after all there is some control of the power down facility from 5 minutes to off, Fuji why not for the VF + LCD system. From my viewpoint get rid of it altogether!!!

 

Hopefully some Fuji person will take notice!

I agree entirely, Mike G. At the moment the only way to turn this "feature" off is to put the camera into Boost mode. This is fine on the X-T2, X-Pro2, X100F etc (which also share this "feature"), but leaving the X-H1 in Boost mode drains the battery very quickly indeed.

 

Interestingly, the feature is described (although rather vaguely) in the manual for the X-Pro2, which is where I first learned about it, but there is no mention whatsoever in the manuals for the X-T2 or X-H1. Not helpful, Fuji!

 

(Minor irritations aside, though, I'm loving the X-H1.)

      Hello. Thankyou,now Is all more clear: I have take some time in your link. Let tell you. I has totaly forget this machine have "compress picture option" and not Only "compress lossless" anyway not change the experiment. RAW  and this last two format look like same result about Number of recording picture. Can tell all results in this: in raw you can make 17 pictures for second. Is wrong. Is about One single Press and wait buffer. Full 30/20/10/8 not change. After 17 Need Press again. You not can Press before "redgreen light recording Is on".   With preshot you can have 25  are more 7 pictures . The story change Only in jpg shot only. In jpg at 30 you have 30 picture but redgreen light off very Fast so you can shot very quicly. At 20 shot Is about start look like infinite shot. 60. So the best performance are this last One  about Speed and recording picture after camera working witout big limit. I want take a shot about Italy cyclet Just for passion. I think i Will use this last setting.  After Need check when battery not are full change and ambient temp.  Anyway my cam look like exactly specific about you link. Im Happy my cam working perfectly.

      I do not use Flickr, so I do not know what their BB code is. All I did was copy the second link you provided, (starting at https: and ending at  _k.jpg — leave off the [img] and [/img] tags) and pasted it into the message. After a moment, a message popped up asking if I wanted to paste it as the image or as a plain link. I did this twice, the first time I had it paste in as the image and the second time as a link. Nothing fancy or tricky.

      So do I just copy the BB code from flickr and paste it anywhere on the page like other forums or is there some other trick I need to perform to get it to post?

      X Raw Studio Doesn't Create Drive for Camera When Connected

      All software is the latest between camera and app. All settings are correct on camera. I have both lossless and uncompressed RAW files on the card in the camera. I have been up and down every reddit thread to no avail and am losing my mind… I’m doing all of the right things. It even sees my camera. It just doesn’t create the “drive” for it (see attached image screenshot).  Please Help!
