3 Things You Should NEVER Do With A Fujifilm Camera

I hear what you're saying about batteries, and I'd love to only use genuine Fuji batteries in my X-H2, but for me the batteries that have a built in USB-C port for charging are so convenient. I can't wait for it to charge in camera, and I can't be bothered to carry a dedicated charger around with me knowing that SmallRig or Newell batteries will charge off my phone charger that I have with me anyway.

That being said, thanks for pointing out that third party batteries don't support in camera charging as I would have likely found that out the hard way!

You should always format the memory card in camera before using. That means you will lose whatever is on the card but it will be formatted to work with the camera you put it in. So I agree with your statement but that it isn't particular to Fuji cameras. Just download the card to your computer first and then use it in whatever camera you want after formatting in the camera, not in your computer.

Hello from Uruguay! I never had that memory card issue, but it's good to know, that this can happen. It seems my fuji xt4 likes my Canon 5Dsr :) I agree with the batteries, they last less, and my camera got quite hot with those 3rd party batteries. Best wishes!

im so tired of the only shoot RAW bs. JPEGS have a lot of latitude for editing; furthermore, learn your wb settings and properly expose highlights/shawdows. Heavily editing (boring/flat) photos is so boring. This is coming from someone who shot RAW for 5+ years.

Hi Pete. Amazingly, this has been a very helpful video! I was suffering some serious case of 'I am sharing memory cards between cameras and something will go wrong soon'. Luckily, I just got another set of cards for the second camera...Phew! Regarding RAW + JPG, could not agree more. One can always delete files at a later stage, but can NEVER go back and take the exact same pictures! In any case, cheers for the video!

Can you tether XT5 without any problems?

Aqui no Brasil usamos E100 desde 1980, e a água no etanol é um problema, trajetos curtos são um problema.

Alguns fabricantes recomendam um tanque de gasolina a cada 5.000 km (3.000 milhas) ANTES de uma troca de óleo.

Mecânicos recomendam usar E100 no lugar de misturas, pelo problema que relata nesse vídeo.

I always shoot raw, but, first time switching from Canon to Fuji I've managed to somehow change the settings on the fly at a car show from raw+jpeg to jpeg only by accident, only noticed that at home. Boy was I pissed as the lighting was difficult and some images had blown out sky and the only way to recover them was using AI sky replacements...

I use Olympus EM1mk2, Fujifilm XS-10, and Fujifilm XH2S, so thankfully I can keep the CFxpressB cards in the XH2S and it won't cross over to the others XD.

3 things... I can say this as I own 3... 1. Buy a Fujifilm 2. Buy a Fujifilm 3. Buy a Fujifilm .... totally losing faith in the botched firmware updates on the XH2s, they made the AF system as inconsistent as an XT2 since F3.0, I'm told Fuji Japan knows of the issue but months have passed, and still no update and we are on version 5.0.

Never had issues switching SD cards between sony and Fujifilm cameras. Sandisk 32GB has broken down twice though only used in Fujifilm cameras. Shoot Jupio and Hahnel batteries for 5 years without any problems. Shot jpg-only professionally for 3 years and some of those images were fixed in Snapseed and sold for 800usd each.

Is this memory card issue solved by formatting the card before starting?

Format the card anyway...

Surely the 1st point - you should be formatting your card in camera anyway so that's a workflow issue with any camera rather than Fuji specific?

I’d be interested in your workflow, particularly how you store the jpegs and raw files. Do you rename your files? How do you organize all of this data?

Great info. Thanks for sharing.

Spot on ..can I add a 4th turn camera off when changing lenses. 😂...love your work Pete. Nev

Off brand batteries suck. Was shooting a wedding and couldn't remove it during the ceremony as it was slightly thicker than genuine. Had to slam the camera on my palm to jolt it out.
