Fuji X-E1/X-E2/X-E2S/X-E3 Owners Thread

That's the way you update the firmware so yes

Well I didn't know that was the only way to do it, good luck!

Hi Darren,

The file is on the card and is named correctly. Looking at the file info on Finder it says it's a document. I'd also looked at that link so have checked both causes

Reset the camera first perhaps?
Try another memory card?

 

[Delta Skies]

Cheers Geoff - Done both those

Is it possible to put v3 on again?
Will it update lens firmwares?

Peter just a thought, did you download the firmware file first to your computer and then copy it to the card. It won't work if you try to download it directly to the card.

Hi Jeff (apologies I spelt it wrong last time),

When Sarah did a reset the firmware version stayed a v3. I found a v3.1 download but that didn't work either.

Good idea about the lens upgrade. Sarah has just tried and it updated the lens ok.

However after that the body update still didn't work

Hi George. I've tried both and even different locations on the Mac as we'd spotted some people saying to put download it onto the Desktop first.

Is the file definately the only one on the computer? It doesn't have a (1) at the side of it, does it?

 

[Delta Skies]

Hi David,

Yes to the file is the right one and is named correctly

 

[minnnt]

Just the file and not in a folder?

 

[Delta Skies]

The card is newly formatted so there's no folders (those only appear once a photo is taken). The only file on there is the dat file

 

[pete 1]

Mine said firmware 3 I clicked OK and it said 3 - 4 clicked OK and it was on

 

[Delta Skies]

We're now seriously thinking it's the camera. We've updated the X-T1 ok (different file obviously) and we've just successfully updated the firmware of a lens using the X-E2. The body firmware is the one we're still troubled with.

 

[frod]

Did you format the card in the camera itself

 

[Delta Skies]

Yes

 

[frod]

What's the size of the file you have in bytes?

 

[frod]

Mine here is 41,550,848

[Delta Skies]

Same details here Kev

 

[frod]

Can only suggest removing the battery overnight and trying in the morning. Doesn't sound good.

 

[Delta Skies]

Thanks Kev. We'll try that. I guess the camera will lose some internal charge after that time?

 

[frod]

Yeah it's the only other thing I can think of, long enough to totally clear everything. I've done it before on nikon.

 

[Delta Skies]

Cheers. I'll provide an update (forgive the pun) in the morning

 

[frod]

I had one more really stupid question. It's definitely an xe-2 and not an xe-1? Apologies in advance!

LOL That's what I said to Sarah earlier. No it is a X-E2.

 

[pete 1]

Have you clicked OK even though it says firmware 3, that's what mine said, I thought it hadn't gone onto the card at first but it had

 

[pete 1]

If not I guess it must be the camera

 

[Delta Skies]

Thanks Robin. Yes done all that hence thinking that it's the camera. As said above we've done this fine for a lens and the X-T1.

 

[jakeblu]

I dont suppose anyone has a spare metal lug thats used for the camera strap, my used xe2 only came with one, or would appreciate a point in the direction for buying one

Hi Kev, Just to follow up to say that this didn't work either. Thanks anyway. Maybe a trip into Dale Photographic tomorrow lunchtime may help.

Peter.I had exactly this problem.
I still had the previous update (v3.0) on my computer, so when i downloaded v4.0 the computer renamed it which the camera wouldn't accept.
make sure you don't have any previous updates on your computer.

 

[Delta Skies]

Cheers Graham. No other copies were on any of the machines

Yeah they are quite thorough, i was just there Friday with a misbehaving xf60mm. hopefully they can assist.

Managed to get out for walk up the river with the XE2 and 18-55 today, a few semi long exposures handheld on anything firm that I could find [emoji38]

Won't mention it again
