Fuji X-T3 firmware resetting camera settings?

I just wanted to see if this is happening to other X-T3 owners.  I've updated the firmware on my X-T3 from 1.0 -> 1.01 and now to 1.02.

Each firmware update has reset all settings back to factory default.  That is, the "MY" menu settings get wiped, sound setup reset, screen setup reset, button/dial settings reset, ISO Auto Settings reset, AF-C Custom Settings reset, etc...  BASICALLY a lot of work to redo stuff for each firmware update.

My X-T2 used to have this in the beginning and then Fuji figured out how to preserve settings between firmware revisions.

I just wanted to see if others are seeing the same X-T3 behavior before I try to get a bug report open.

Called Fuji Tech Support and they hadn't heard of this happening (losing settings on firmware upgrade) on the X-T3.  They did tell me about using FujiFilm X Acquire to backup my X-T3's camera settings and that way if they get zapped it can also restore them post-upgrade.   That's useful as I didn't know that functionality was there.

I own two X-T3 cameras and while upgrading to firmware 1.02 one of them also had its settings reset. The other one kept all settings just fine. I don’t know exactly what happened but I’ve since gotten in the habit of backing up the settings using Fuji X Acquire

My two were exactly the same, luckily I only did one to start with & realised all my settings had reset so was able to get the settings from the one not updated.

I up dated through the app, not sure if that would make a difference, this never happened on my Canon's when up dating, hopefully someone from Fuji can answer this?

      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.

      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.

      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.
