Hello all,

I was just wondering if there were any geotaggers available for the Fuji X cameras? Something like the Solmeta is what I’m looking for. Or if there is a way to connect my camera to my BadElf GPS.

I know that I can connect the camera to my phone; but that has been spotty at best. Plus it doesn’t have the reliability of something like the Solmeta that I have on my Nikon.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting question as that is the main feature I miss on my Fuji X cameras over my Canon 7D which I used with a Canon GP-E2 geotagger. As far as I know there is no comparable device for the X-series. I tried the Fuji App but it is flaky at best so is not really an option for me. So what I do is use my iPhone with an App called Geotag Photos 2 which creates a GPX route of my journey and then you can use something like Lightroom to link the two together and it then places the geo data in the Metadata. I have the App set to record with a minimal position change of 10 yards which works well for me. It's obviously more of a hassle than having a dedicated geotagger but it works for me. And although it is running continuously (as it records the route) it doesn't use a huge amount of battery. I carry a small power-bank but have never needed to use it whilst using this App.

Hope this helps!

      Dead capacitor

      By jerryy · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. You can also check with your local camera repair store regarding their repair prices. The camera's settings are stored in a memory chip which needs a little bit of electricity to stay active. The capacitor supplies the needed current so you can remove the main battery without losing the settings. On occasion, capacitors deteriorate and stop working. This is a major problem in power supplies for other equipment where the caps reliability is highly debated. Usually they can be replaced and things go back to regular working conditions.

      My Fuji  XT3 bought new 2018,  spent hours understanding the menu,  Always has a full battery in it Turn on yesterday and all settings all default I was told it is a capacitor or motherboard  ( what?) I have multiple cameras from different  manufacturers that have been sitting for years never had this problem  I hope fuji gives me a reasonable price, because  I love the camera

      Hi everyone. Just bought my retirement gift to myself - an XT-5 with 16-50 and 70-300 lenses and cant wait to get started.   Used to be a keen photographer before life got in the way and have continued, albeit with phone, but despite it taking decent photos, I want to move on to the next level. Really excited about to getting to grips with this beast and realise what a steep learning curve I'm on and will be looking for plenty of advice and tips.

      X-Pro2 won’t recognize Godox flash

      By Amack37 · Posted

      Hi folks - long time lurker in a bind. My XP2 won't recoginise my Godox TT685iiF unit. I've tried to troubleshoot it myself (modest abilities) without success, then worked with the good folks at my local camera store, again without success. We did try my flash unit on other cameras to confirm it wasn't the flash, as well as trying other new units on my XP2 with no success. The store shipped the camera off to Fuji Canada (I'm in Southern Ontario) where it was promptly returned with a note saying it was 'too old, no longer supported'. Sigh. Has anyone experienced this situation, and arrived at a solution? Any suggestions on how to proceed from here?   MANY thanks in advance!!
