Fuji XT2 malfunction

Based on your description, I do not fully understand what has happened to your Fuji X-T2. I previously owned an X-T2 and an X-T1. I appreciate how frustrating it must be - on vacation in a beautiful historic location with significant activity going on around you - and you are not able to record it. Rather than rush around trying to get your camera repaired in a foreign location, is there a dealer nearby where you can rent a Fuji X-T2, Fuji X-T1 or Fuji X-T3? Your lenses, other than the one which got wet, may be fine; the problem may be with the camera body.

Thank you RJay
I have seen a local dealer and apart from the E50 fee for Fuji to have a look at it, he thinks the cost of repair would be uneconomical.
My checking on the net suggests the camera has had it!
However I am now the proud owner of an XT3 and will try a warranty claim when I get home.
Thanks for your input!
Cheers

Fuji XT2 malfunction
I am looking for advice on my Fuji XT2 problem,
I am holidaying in in Germany and my camera has stopped working. After shooting on a wet day with my 10-24 non showerproof lens, the camera now is malfunctioning.
What ever lens I now put on, it doesn’t click into place and the F stop reads zero.
The electrics all work fine and the menu works as normal.
I have cleaned all the contacts but this has not helped.
Can anyone suggest a quick fix,
or a service centre in Berlin?
It is so beautiful over here!
Cheers

(General Chit-Chat (non-photography talk))
have you done the Miss River boat?
My wife and I did the New Orleans to Memphis American Queen trip 3 years ago, and absolutely loved it.
BUT, I would suggest always going down river if there is a choice. You see all the same things but have much longer stopovers at each town.
Cheers

Travel Question

You can use the iPad to transfer photo files to. Apple has an SD card adapter that plugs into the iPad at one end, and and adapter that the SD cards slides into. Transfer begins automatically and the images are stored in the photos file. Get the iPad Mini with the largest amount of storage available--128GB, I believe. Should be enough for your trip. I don't know if you can transfer photos from the iPad to an external storage device, though.

Hi there,
I have backed up to my iPhone but it doesn’t seem to accept RAW files, only JPEGs.
While travelling I use a Windows tablet (Surface) to save to, then drag and drop to 2 hard drives.
This gives 2 backups that can be stored in different suitcases.

Fuji XT2 batteries on trek
Thank you for your help. A battery grip is really a way to carry extra batteries, but thank you for your suggestion.
Thanks jerh, but I think a battery pack would have a universal use after the trip, such as a phone/ipad etc charger. I would also be cheaper (though heavier) than 3 batteries.
It seems that a power pack may be the answer, no one thinks anything of solar?
Cheers

Fuji XT2 batteries on trek
Hi there,
I am planning a 16 day trek in the Himalayas,
There may be a period of time where I may not be able to access power for my 300 shot batteries.
As far as I can see, I could take a lot of batteries, take a power bank, or take some sort of solar device.
Do any of you experienced Hoggers have ideas that you have used in this situation?
I would like to have specific brand recommendations and how they performed in your hands.
Thank you.

Photoshop cc version
Hi there, I am a monthly subscriber but find that I have the 2015 version. Should I not be automatically updated to the latest version, 2017 I presume?

Could you photoshop wizards tell me How can I get the latest version?

Thanks in advance

Tony ,
I think there must be a little misunderstanding, or maybe I am missing something.
it's about just an USB attached drive. Using the map network drive will require a shared folder somewhere on the network or on the USB drive it'self. USB drive will show as local drive. You can of course map a network drive from your computer to your computer, but whats the point when you see the drive already.

What I would suggest in order to make it easier for Windows and this USB drive is to use the last letter available. Windows will always try to use the first available letter, meaning there is a change that this D: drive change can happen again. If you connect something else and your USB drive is not connected, then your drive will most likely be assigned to the new device also. So try putting this USB drive on letter Z for example. Unless you are able to hook as many devices that you've used the whole alphabet, this Z letter should never change for your USB drive.

External Hard Drives and Lightroom CC
I use an external hard drive with my laptop, with my files in a folder "my lightroom photos"

My computer decided this was drive D, and I have been able to edit files well. I use the same USB port all the time.

Now my computer has decided this is drive E, so I no longer have access to them as Lightroom cannot find them.

No problem I thought, reimport them. I did this and all was working well. Now my computer has decided this is now drive D again.

My questions are, Is there something wrong with my computer (newish Dell)?

Is there something wrong with my external drive (new WD)?

Can I easily change the drive letter in Lightroom when necessary to solve the problem.

Can I easily change the drive name in Windows? The fact that it changes by itself is a bit concerning.

Many Thanks

Tony

Fuji XT2 weather tightness
jerryc41 wrote:
In what part of the camera did you see the condensation?


Hi Jerry,

I cleaned the front of the lens and the eyepiece, the condensation showed up on the exposed review on the LCD. It eventually cleared as the condensation dried up, all good after that.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply,

Cheers

Hong Kong's humidity can easily be over 80% at this time of the year so the 80% tolerance is not enough for you.


Thanks picsman,
I was just a little surprised that the Fuji had problems and Canon and Nikon did not.

Cheers
