I have  recently bought X100F and use card reader only the first time. Now i tried the usb cable that was shipped with the camera. It charged the camera but it didn't connect.

Because i have had this issues before with other things, i can give my solution.

 

1. It is rarely a driver issue, don't go there first!

2. Use a good thick cable with a RF-filter on. It wasn't on the cable i got but it is a cable with a visible outgrowth, usually on one side only.

3. Don't use a USB3. Use USB2.0 (the one without the blue inside)

4. Don't connect to monitor or a hub. Connect directly to MAC/PC/Laptop

5. Connect to camera first, then to PC and last turn on the camera. And reverse this order when the camera is going to be de-attached.

 

I hope it helps!

Good info - thanks.

 

Like you, I've had problems with USB connections - not just from Fuji cameras, but from other camera manufacturers as well. Ditto with uploading pix from cameras via Wi-Fi. My solution is to pull out the memory card from the camera, and insert it into my PC's card slot. That seems to be more reliable and is a much faster transfer connection.

      Because the sensor assembly is moved electrmagnetically. When there is no power it is essentially free moving.

      Ahoy ye hearties! Hoist ye yon Jolly Roger and Cascade away. NGC 1502 The Jolly Roger Cluster:

      This is the equivalent of 43 minutes, 40 seconds of exposure. NGC 1502 is a neat little cluster located in the Camelopardalis Constellation. This region of space was thought to be fairly empty by early astronomers, but as you can see, there is a lot there. Kemble's Cascade (a.k.a. Kemble 1) is named for Father Lucian Kemble, a Canadian Franciscan friar who wrote about it to Walter Scott Houston, an author for the Sky And Telescope magazine. Houston named the asterism for Fr. Kemble and the name "stuck". NGC 1501 is the Oyster Nebula. A longer focal length telescope is needed to bring this one into good viewing range, but it is well worth the effort.

      55 or 80?

      By BIGOAK · Posted

      Looking for input; there are some decent deals and might want to take advantage to expand my lenses for my 100s already own: 110/2 32-64 35-70 100-200 + TC   Shooting mostly family shots, bringing my kit to capture family outings indoors and out. Tracking the 63/43 effective FLs on the two, but has anybody used both? Would the 55 (covered by two zooms right now) be redundant? Would the 80 be too similar in character to my 110 for portraiture?

      See what I mean? Two instantaneous ads. Worthless.
