True, but why the 36x24 (3:2) format ?Maybe to get a bit of extra reach from your lenses? I don't know.
I’m sure there is some ‘logic’ to it and perhaps we will see other crop formats too.

On second thought: in the menu under ‘Mount Adaptor Setting’ there is already a ‘35mm format mode’ with a default JPEG output fixed to L(3:2). With the current firmware version this menu item is not selectable when native lenses are mounted, so I guess they simply made it ‘available’ with the least effort for all situations.True, but why the 36x24 (3:2) format ?

Thanks for posting Bart - I have had no such issue with mine.The last two weeks or so on four occasions I had problems turning on my camera (GFX-50s).
Only after briefly disconnecting the battery it sprung to life and I could continue shooting.
But not so on the last occasion when whatever I tried, even putting in a fresh battery, it remained 'dead'.
There was power on the circuitry as the top LCD was on and showed information, but the back LCD and EVF were all blank.
I feared for the worst, but by chance I left the camera without battery overnight and lo-and-behold in the morning after putting in the battery to my relief it became responsive again.
Now I started to suspect the camera's power management and reread that section in the manual.
The three available options I had set like this;
As I doubted that second option right from the beginning I started there and changed it from 2 MIN to OFF.
- Auto Power Off - 5 MIN,
- Shooting Stand By Mode - 2 MIN,
- Auto Power Safe - ON.
And thus far, knock-on-wood, I had no more issues.
But as it is still early days I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping this solved or at least bypassed the root cause, whatever that is.
Anyone care to comment ?
TIA
Thanks, Pete.Thanks for posting Bart - I have had no such issue with mine.

Well Bart- this sounds like some bug that Fuji has to adress....we all probably need an answer and a solution...Thanks, Pete.
I've read that section too, but it didn't help for me.
Btw - I'm not alone in here, there is at least one other person with the same issue, who was glad he was not the only one ...
Krgds.
Interesting, the top LCD of my GFX-50s is always on given there is a charged battery inserted, but I think that's as designed or so I hope ... :facesmack:I've had similar power issues with my Pentax 645z. Camera top lcd turns itself on even though power switch is off. I have to pull the battery to turn it off completely. Long out of warranty so I haven't bothered to send it in for repair.
I’d probably continue to document and troubleshoot your settings/workarounds and send to Fuji Support (along with your serial number) it could be that the few that have experienced issues like yours were apart of a “bad batch” of cameras. In any case I found that companies often fix stuff at little to no cost to your when you work with them to identify potential issues... and have a good attitude about making the product work or be better.The last two weeks or so on four occasions I had problems turning on my camera (GFX-50s).

Bart, true one can always read the top LCD display.Interesting, the top LCD of my GFX-50s is always on given there is a charged battery inserted, but I think that's as designed or so I hope ... :facesmack:
Hi there K-H,Hi Bart, I am sorry your 50S has this feature (bug).
I checked my settings. They are:
- Auto Power Off .............: 5 MIN
- Shooting Stand By Mode: OFF
- Auto Power Safe.............: OFF
So far I have not encountered your problem.
I have the habit of switching my cameras OFF right after I take the last shot in a sequence.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hi there K-H,
Thanks for chiming in, I think and hopefully with those settings you're fine.
As indicated I've switched 'Shooting Stand By Mode' from '2 MIN' to 'OFF' and so far so good.
Looking at your settings and the fact you didn't encounter this particular problem it's not to say your camera isn't blessed with this 'feature'.
So be a good sport and set it to '2 MIN' ...
All the best.
Just kidding here, but it would be an interesting experiment if you could try it.Thanks Bart, okay.
How often do you expect the problem to show up? :shocked:
